Easy peasy pizza recipe

There is nothing satisfying and fulfilling as making your own pizza from scratch and when you eat it, it tastes ten times more than those delivered stuff that come in cardboard boxes. The best part is that you get to use up all the tiny bits of meats you have been throwing in the bottom of the freezer.

My pizza base is easy to make and will give you that thin Italian base, top it up with an already veg loaded passata and you are good to go.

225g plain flour, 2tsp yeast, 2tsp sugar, 11/2tsp salt, 150ml tepid water and olive oil for greasing. Mix all the dry ingredients and make a well in the centre and then add the water and mix to a rough dough. Place dough onto a floured surface and knead for 10minutes till dough is elastic and soft.

Oil the palms of hands with oil and massage the dough and oil the bowl also. Place dough in the bowl  and cover with cling film before placing in a warm place for about one hour. Dough should rise and double as in above pic. 

Divide dough into four equal balls

Grease the pizza stones, roll out the balls and place in thee stones. Put 2tbs of passata onto each pizza and spread all over pizza with back of spoon. Add your toppings and bake till the meats are cooked

Beef and chicken, chicken and prawns, chicken and sausage pizzas accompanied by beer battered prawns and calamari.
