Instructions

Making the dough:

Sprinkle yeast and sugar over warm water in a small container; stir and let stand 10 minutes until bubbly.

In a large bowl combine 175g flour, cheese, salt and pepper; pour the yeast and the oil over the dry ingredients and stir until the dough clings together.

On a floured pastry board turn out the dough. Knead it for 7 to 10 minutes until smooth and elastic. If necessary add the rest of the flour.

Oil a large bowl and turn the ball around in it so everything is ‘oiled’. Cover with a tea towel, place in a warm spot and let rise for 1hr. or until doubled in size.

Punch down dough, knead on a floured surface for 1min, then flatten into a disk.

Making the tart:

Butter a 25cm spring form pan.

Roll out the dough into a circle with a diameter of 28cm. Press the dough into the spring form with about 1 – 1.5cm up the sides.

Heat oil in a skillet; add the onions and cook them until tender. Spread onions, then the mozzarella on the dough. Let the dough rise again in a warm place for about 30min. or until the edges are puffy.

Preheat oven to 200C.

Place tomatoes on top, sprinkle with pepper. Bake for 25 – 30 minutes until edges are deep golden. The cheese should be melted.
Let cool for a couple of minutes and sprinkle with chives.

Serve with a simple leafy salad.
