Friday - Pizza

In the Tarian Pantry house hold, Friday night is always pizza or burger night. We thought we would share with you our basic pizza dough recipe & suggested toppings. We believe this pizza tastes better than any pizza shop pizza.

Ingredients

1 1/2 cups plain flour

1 x 8g sachet dry yeast

1 tsp salt

1 tbsp olive oil

Warm water

Method

Combine the dry ingredients in a large mixing bowl and slowly add the water. Mix to a soft dough.

Once dough is formed, add the oil and knead the dough on a floured surface until soft and elastic, around 10 minutes.

Return the dough to the mixing bowl and cover with cling wrap. Leave in a warm spot (on top of the pre heated oven is ideal) for 30-40 minutes. The dough should double in size.

When it has risen, use your fist to punch the dough down to remove any air bubbles. Gently knead on a lightly floured surface for 1 minute.

Roll the dough out to desired size and add toppings.

Note: This recipe makes 1 thick base or 2 thin bases.

Suggested toppings

Basic tomato sauce

Onion

Brown mushrooms

Olives

Pineapple (fresh not canned)

Vegi deli sausages

Basil

Chilli

Tofutti cream cheese
