Portions: 1 Pizza - enough for 2 to 4 people (or 1 and some leftovers for eating later)
Ingredients
- Pizza Base Mix
- Water
- Semolina
- Pizza Base Sauce (Click Here To See My Own Recipe)
- Toppings
Instructions
If you were expecting to see flour and yeast amongst the ingredients then sorry to disappoint you but I use a packet mix for my pizza base dough. I still make it fresh by mixing in some water and it's still so much better than buying a premade pizza from the supermarket.
You can buy ready mix packets in most supermarkets with enough ingredients in to make 1 pizza. It does work out cheaper to buy a large 3.5kg of Pizza Base Mix from the likes of Country Range (readily available from Amazon) you just use 142g of the mix with 90ml of water.
- Add the Pizza Base Mix to a bowl
- Stir in the water and continue to mix until it becomes a dough
- Remove the dough mixture and give it a good kneading
- Sprinkle some Semolina in to the bowl
- Put the pizza dough back in the bowl and sprinkle some more Semolina on top
- Wrap a cloth (something like a tea towel will do) over the bowl
- Leave to proof for a few hours (if you are pushed for time then use boiling/warm water in step 2 as this can speed up the proofing process a bit)
- When ready to cook, sprinkle some semolina on a work surface (I prefer to use some greaseproof paper as it makes less mess)
- Roll out the dough to the shape you require
- If you have a Pizza Docker run that over the pizza to create a few dents in the dough - if you don't have one then prick it all over with a fork
- Spread some Pizza Base Sauce over the dough
- Sprinkle on some cheese - I like to use a cheddar/mozzarella mix
- Add whatever toppings you like but try to avoid putting anything in the very centre so to make it easier to slice when cooked
- You can use pizza tray but I've had a bit more luck with a Pizza Stone
- Put the pizza in a preheated oven on a high-ish heat for around 8-12 minutes until it's done how you like it
Serving Suggestion(s)
Great eaten cold as a snack too - just wrap in tin foil when cool and keep it in the fridge.
