Yea, We know we've got some real pizza-lovers here! Now, we've got a question: Why wait to spend on your pizza when you can make it yourself? Just in case you decide to try it out - we've got you!
INGREDIENTS
For the Base
300ml tepid water
2 teaspoon sugar
4 teaspoons dried yeast
500 g plain flour
1 teaspoon salt
For the Topping (Ham & Pine, anyone?)
6 dessertspoons chopped tomatoes
1 teaspoon mixed dried herbs / a few torn basil leaves
100 g grated mozzarella cheese
2 large slice good quality ham chopped into small pieces
4 tablespoons tinned pineapple pieces
INSTRUCTIONS
Make The Base
Place the tepid water in a bowl and add the sugar and stir
Sprinkle on the dried yeast and stir
Set aside for 10-15 minutes until frothing on the top
Put the flour and salt into a bowl and make a well in the middle
Add the yeast liquid
Draw together into one mass using floured hands until it forms together in one ball of dough
Knead the dough on a floured work surface – pushing the dough away with one hand and then drawing back towards you
Keep kneading for about 10 or so until it is smooth and elastic. Add a little more flour if it still a little sticky after 10 minutes
Place the dough in a bowl, cover with a tea towel and leave in a warmish place for about an hour, or until it has roughly doubled in size
Once the dough is ready, lift it out of the bowl and knock it back by punching the air out of it
Divide the dough into four equal parts
Roll each lump of dough into a ball and place in a bowl or on the work surface, covered with a cloth for 10-20 minutes
Work each ball into a round pizza shape using your hands, gently squashing and thinning it out as evenly as you can. Don’t worry if it is not perfectly round!
Make The Topping
Preheat the oven to 200 degrees C or gas mark 8
Add the herbs to the tomatoes
Spread evenly over the pizza base
Sprinkle the cheese over the tomato
Place the ham pieces evenly over the pizza
Evenly distribute the pineapple pieces on top
Bake in the oven for 15-30 minutes
