* Half quantity of Pizza dough
* Garlic, peeled and chopped, to taste
* Olive oil
* 1 x 400 g tin of chopped Tomatoes
* 1 tablespoon Tomato purée
* Basil or other Herbs, chopped, to taste
* Polenta (for granite method)
* 250 g Mozzarella cheese, chopped or sliced
* Black olives

===Method===
* Using a saucepan, lightly Fry the Garlic in a little Oil.
* Add the Tomatoes, Tomato purée and Herbs.
* Bring to the Boil and allow the mixture to reduce until it is thick.
* If using the Oven, spread the Tomato mixture over the top of the Dough, together with the Cheese and Olives and Bake for about 15-20 minutes.
* If using the Granite pizza stone, preheat the Grill with the stone about 5-8 cm underneath it. You can use Baking tins or other heatproof objects to keep it at the correct height.
* Sprinkle some Polenta on the hot granite, to prevent the Pizza from sticking.
* Carefully transfer the Dough to the granite and Grill for a minute or two on either side.
* Quickly spread the Tomato mixture, Cheese and Olives over the top and Grill until the cheese has melted.
