Recipe: Pizza

Pizza

Dough Base

50ml lukewarm water

1/2 tsp instant dry yeast granules

55ml UHT milk

1/2 tsp sugar

A little plain flour

180g plain flour

1/2 tsp sugar

1/2 tsp salt

1/2 tbsp

margarine 

Filling

2½–3 tbsp tomato paste 

Slice thinly

1/2 a red capsicum

1/2 a green capsicum

1 Bombay onion, sliced thinly into rings

2 chicken sausages, sliced

1 slice ham, cut into thin strips

200g grated mozzarella cheese

Dash of ground black pepper

Dash of Italian herbs 

To make dough base, sprinkle yeast granules over lukewarm water. Add a sprinkling of sugar and a little flour and set aside for about 10 to 12 minutes. 

Sift flour into a mixing bowl. Add sugar and salt to mix. Make a well in the centre, pour in the frothy yeast mixture and add in the milk. Mix together and knead until a smooth dough is formed. Leave aside and cover with a damp tea towel. . 

When the dough doubles in size, punch down the dough and leave aside again for 10 to 15 minutes. Remove dough onto a lightly floured surface. Roll out dough into a round piece about 3mm thick. Put the piece of round flat dough onto a lightly greased baking tray. Prick the base of the dough with a fork. 

Brush the base of the dough with the tomato paste. Spread the sliced vegetables around the dough. Add sliced sausage and ham and sprinkle liberally with grated mozzarella cheese. Sprinkle with ground black pepper and Italian herbs. 

Bake pizza in a preheated oven at 180°C for about 15 to 20 minutes or until golden brown in colour. Remove pizza from oven, cut with a pizza cutter and serve immediately.
