PIZZA
Every week, usually on a Saturday night, I try to make a pizza. A very simple one, with not a lot of
ingredients as this is what I prefer. I
always make my pizza base myself and using some of the lovely tomatoes that we
grow every year in the greenhouse, use these for my tomato paste. I usually have a stock of this in my freezer
which I make during the summer with added basil that we also grow. I freeze them into little pots which are
ready to use for my pizzas. I have tried
all sorts of recipes for the dough and find that this is the best.
Heat oven beforehand at 220 C so it is nice and hot.
Ingredients:
Dough:
175g pizza flour
1 tsp sugar
1 tsp salt
1 tablespoon of olive oil
1 sachet of dried yeast
100ml of hand hot water
I put all these ingredients into my big mixer using the
dough hook and process for about 5 minutes.
After this, I place the dough into a greased bowl and cover with cling
film to leave to rise for about 1 – 2 hours.
I then roll the dough out into a circle and place
on a pizza oven tray.
Place all
the filling ingredients that you are using, starting with the tomato puree, then slice up one mozzarella ball and
then I sprinkle some more pizza cheese over this and then add a few
slices of anchovies. Finally, I add some
fresh basil leaves. This is my preferred
pizza, but you can add whatever you wish!
Once your oven is hot, place the pizza in and cook for
approximately 20 minutes or so, until you have a nice golden crust.
Bon appetite!
