Thanks to my fancy food mixer the dough was much easier than I had expected it to be and we'll definitely be making our own pizzas again because jeez they were delicious!
Although maybe I'll use less toppings next time.
I recommend always eating homemade pizza with a glass of Pimm's.
I used this recipe for our dough but made a little bit of a change to the cooking method that I have added below.
Ingredients
375g (13 oz) plain flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon caster sugar
7g (1/4 oz) dried active baking yeast
2 tablespoons olive oil
225ml (8 fl oz) warm water (45 C)
Method
- Combine flour, salt, sugar, and yeast in a large bowl. Mix in oil and warm water. Spread out on a large pan.
- Bake at 190 C / Gas mark 5 for ten minutes.
- Add your toppings.
- Bake for another 10 to 15 minutes.
For our garlic bread we used the exact same method and recipe as the pizza dough, adding garlic butter and grated parmesan at step 3.
