Ingredients 

  • 500 g(3⅓ cups) ‘00’ flour, plus extra, for dusting 
  • 7 g sachet dried yeast 
  • 2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil, plus extra for drizzling 
  • 150 ml milk

 Instructions 

Standing time: 2 hours 

  1. Place the flour and yeast in a large bowl and stir to combine. Add the olive oil, milk,waterand mashed potato and mix with a spoon until the dough comes together. Season with a generous pinch of salt, then turn out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 2–3 minutes or until smooth. If the dough is a bit dry, add a little more milk or water if needed; if it’s too wet, add a little extra flour. 
  2. Place in a lightly oiled bowl, cover the bowl with a damp tea towel and allow to rise at room temperature for 2 hours or until doubled in size.
  3. Preheat the oven to 200°C and line a baking tray with baking paper.
  4. Using lightly oiled hands, place the dough on the prepared tray and gently stretch into a rectangle about 1-cm thick. Use your fingers to create smalldivetsall over the dough to catch the juices. Top with halved or whole cherry tomatoes, dried oregano, salt and a little extra olive oil and bake for 20–25 minutes or until golden and puffed.
