    • 2 tbsp olive oil
    • 1 small (1) onion finely chopped

    Equipment

    • Weighing scales
    • Measuring spoons
    • Grater
    • Kitchen knife
    • Chopping board

    Instructions

    Add the tomatoes and oregano, then simmer until it reduces by half. It should take about 10 minutes. Set aside to cool completely.

    To prepare the base

    Meanwhile, unroll the puff pastry - trim if necessary so that it will fit on your baking tray.

    Lay the pastry in the tray and prick with a fork to stop it from puffing up, then cook for 5 minutes until it feels slightly dry.

    To assemble

    Take the pastry out of the oven and spread with the tomato sauce you made earlier over the pastry base, leaving a 2cm border clear all round.
