Valentine’s Day pizza

Make sure your love poems aren’t the ONLY thing cheesy this Valentine’s

Nothing says romance quite like pizza, so we thought we’d step it up for Valentine’s Day. Deliver to your lover with the following inscription:

“Roses are red, violets are blue,
I made a Love Pizza to share with you.

It’s hot and it’s steamy
and to eat it’s quite easy.

So will you be my Valentine?
(or is this too cheesy)”

Mmm, romance baby.

250ml warm water
30g yeast
1tbsp olive oil
500g “00” bakers bread/pizza flour

1 tbsp olive oil
2tsp chopped garlic
2 tbsp tomato paste
500g diced tomatoes
