Say goodbye to Dominos and Pizza Hut and say hello to home made pizza....
INGREDIENTS:
- 2 cups of all purpose flour
- Yeast
- 1 tbsp sugar
- pinch of salt
- 1 onion
- 1 clove of garlic
- 1 tsp of chilli flakes
- 1 tsp parsley
- 1 tinned tomatoes
- 220g grated mozzarella cheese
- mushrooms
- pepper
- cooked meat
- any topping of your choice.
METHOD:
First make the pizza dough, then the marinara sauce, followed by the the toppings of your choice.
- In a bowl add 3/4 cups of warm water
- Add in half tablespoon of sugar
- Add in a sachet of yeast
- Stir the mixture. When there is some bubbling on top, the yeast has been activated.
- In a separate bowl, add in 2 cups of all purpose flour
- Add half tablespoon of sugar
- Add a pinch of salt
- Stir the dry ingredients together and then add the yeast mixture
- Use your hands to form a dough ball. It may initially look like stringy dough but keep going and you will end up with a ball. If you feel your dough is too dry, add a few tablespoons of water
- When you have a ball of dough, smother it on both sides with olive oil
- Put cling film over the dough and set aside for one hour.
- In a heavy bottom frying pan sauté one onion in 4 tbs of olive oil
- Once the onions starts to thin, add in the garlic
- Add tinned tomatoes
- Add 1 tsp of sugar
- Add 1tsp of flaked chillis
- Add 1tsp of parsley
- When the dough is ready, flatten it on the baking tray
- Set the oven to 180C/fan/160C/gas 4 so it's warming in preparation for the pizza.
- Ladle over the tomato sauce onto the dough
- Add the grated cheese
- Add your favourite toppings. For my pizza, I added mushrooms, turkey and beef chorizo, cooked chicken and pepper. This is the stage where you can get really creative and have whatever you want on your pizza
- Put your pizza in the oven
- Keep an eye on the pizza; it should be done in 15 mins.
