To make the Italian favourite, simply add dough, tomato passata and mozzarella to the pan on a high heat.

A chef's tips to creating the perfect lockdown pizza
- Use a cast iron or non-stick oven-proof frying pan.
- If you don't have one of these, start your pizza in your frying pan and move to a pre-heated baking sheet to finish cooking under the grill.
- Get your pan really hot, then put the rolled out pizza dough into the pan to start cooking and assemble the toppings in the pan.
- When the bottom of your pizza is crispy, transfer to the grill for 8-10 minutes to melt the cheese to the perfect stringy, crispy consistency.
She said: "I actually think that the best way to get a top notch pizza at home is in a frying pan - you get that initial heat to the bottom of the pizza, which gives a crispy base and better rise throughout the dough."
Popular chain Pizza Pilgrims agree and are selling Pizza in the Post kits to help those in isolation create their dishes.
They recommend a frying pan because most home ovens only reach temperatures of 250C, whereas a traditional pizza oven cooks at 450C-500C.
