Homemade Pizza 🍕

I made delicious homemade pizzas!

Ingredients:

1 kg white bread flour or 800g strong white bread
1 teaspoon fine sea salt
2 x 7 g dried yeast sachets
1 tablespoon golden caster sugar
4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
Makes 8 medium-sized thin bases

1. Sieve the flour and salt on to a

clean work surface/or bowl and make a

well shape in the middle.

2. In a jug, mix the yeast, sugar and oil into 650ml of lukewarm water and leave for a few minutes, then pour into the well.

3. Then Using a fork, bring the flour in slowly from the sides and mix with the liquid. Keep mixing, until it starts coming together. I then got my mum to knead the dough until it was smooth and springy.

4. Place the ball of dough in a large flour-dusted bowl and flour the top of it. Cover the bowl with a damp cloth and place in a warm room for about an hour until the dough has doubled in size.

5. Now remove the dough to a flour-dusted surface and knead it around a bit to push the air out with your hands. You can either use it immediately, or keep it, wrapped in clingfilm, in the fridge (or freezer) until required.

6. If using straight away, divide the dough up into as many little balls as you want to make pizzas – this amount of dough is enough to make about six to eight medium pizzas so invite friends and family over!

7. Get your toppings ready! As well as your base for the pizza. We used my mums homemade tomato sauce which is pureed tomatoes, with a hint of garlic, salt and butter.
