Let's Make: Simple, Delicious Pizza

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
