I've been trying and tweaking this recipe for a while now and this is the best I've managed. Even the Husband said it was the best pizza I've ever made. It IS still quite point heavy but if you're careful the rest of the day then it's perfectly manageable. I use my breadmaker to make the dough which is simplicity itself but it's perfectly ok to beat the hell out of it yourself if you prefer !
Apologies for the most SHOCKING photo ever but this was son no2's pizza which looked like a cat and he didn't want to eat as it was so cute !
PIZZA
Serves 4 with the basic dough/sauce/cheese worked out at 12pps (add toppings on separately)
So I started by making a basic tomato sauce - very simply onion, garlic, celery and carrot slowly sauteed in a tablespoon of olive oil, chopped tomatoes, oregano, a pinch of sugar, worcestershire sauce and some tomato puree. All slow cooked for an hour or so with a bay leaf. That worked out at 1pp a serving but to be honest probably negligible for the amount you'd need on a pizza.
The dough for 4 people was
5g Dove's Farm yeast
300g strong white flour
1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 tsp salt
170ml lukewarm water
I put this on my pizza setting for 45 mins, knocked back and then proved in a warm place for another 30 minutes. Split into 4 and then rolled out to the thickness you like.
Then it's easy ! Splodge on some tomato sauce, add toppings of your choice (I had red onion, mushrooms and sliced courgette with some chorizo) and the add 60g of grated mozzarella per pizza. Bake at 200C for about 10-15 minutes.
ENJOY !!
