  • A homemade pizza which can be topped with your favourite foods. Make them small for snacks, large for dinner or xlarge for parties!!!

  • Ingredients

    • 2 tsp Sunflower oil
    • pinch salt (I don't as we are a salt free house)
    • 4 cups Strong white bread flower
    • ¾ satchet fast action yeast
    • as required tomatoe sauce (for base)
    • as required pepperoni/sausage/ham etc
    • as required garlic/onion/peppers/mushrooms etc
    • as required Grated cheese
    • as required Mozzarella cheese
    • 3 tsp Honey
    • 1 and ¼ cup warm water

    Method

    • I prepare the pizza base on a dough setting in my breadmaker but you could also make by hand and leave for 1 hour to rise. (cover and place in a warm room)

      Making the dough:

      It is essential you add the ingredients in this order:

      Water
      Honey
      Oil
      Salt
      Bread flour
      (make a well in flour with finger but should not go through to liqud)
      Add yeast to well

      Set your machine to dough setting
      This take 1 hr 30 mins on my machine.

      Toppings:

      Whilst the dough is prepared you can choose your favourites toppings and chop them ready.

      Grate your cheese and mix a combination of your favourite cheese with a nice mozzarella.

      Making the base:

      Once your dough is risen cut it in to pieces.
      With quantity I make 2 extra large pizza and 4 small pizza's but it depends on how thin you like your base. A deeper base will make less.

      Flour your worktop and rolling pin.
      Roll out your dough to desired thickness and transfer to a baking tray or pizza stone.

      Smooth a thin layer of tomatoe base and then add your favourite toppings, cheese and black pepper.

      Pre-heat your oven to 200 degrees and cook for 10-12 mins. Turn half way. Ready when cheese is golden and bubbling.

      leave to cool a little...if you can be patient!!! Enjoy.
