FOR THE TOPPING

1. First make the bread: knead all the ingredients in a large bowl and leave for 1 hour in a warm place to rise.

2. Knead the dough thoroughly again, then divide into 6 equal rounds.

3. Leave the dough to prove for a further 20 minutes then bake in a preheated oven at 220øC/425øF/Gas Mark 7 for 15 minutes.

4. Remove from oven, brush with olive oil and leave to cool.

5. Now prepare the topping: in a pan heat the oil and fry the onion and garlic until soft.

6. Add the tomatoes, wine and seasoning and simmer until the sauce has reduced and is a paste-like consistency.

7. Stir in the cheese, olives and capers, and heat through gently.

8. Divide the mixture between the bases and serve at once.
