Easy Pizza

Pastry

2 cups self-rising flour

½ cup + 1 tablespoon boiling water

½ cup oil

Filling

4 medium tomatoes, washed, peeled and chopped

1 large onion, chopped fine

2 teaspoons tomato sauce

1 teaspoon crushed garlic

6 oz. bacon strips, rind removed and cut up in small blocks

61/2 oz. cheddar cheese, grated

2 teaspoons Aromat or oregano

Method: Combine all the pastry ingredients together and place in a sealed plastic bowl. Shake gently until a soft dough forms. Press flat in a medium size Swiss Roll tin. Cover with a damp cloth and set aside.

Meanwhile, make the filling. Cook the tomatoes and onions gently over low heat until thick and tender. Let it cool. Set aside.

Preheat oven to 350°F.  Spread the tomato sauce over the prepared pastry. Add the garlic to the tomato and onion mix and stir well. Spread on top of the pastry. Sprinkle on the bacon, followed by the grated cheese and oregano. Bake for about 30 minutes. Serve warm.
