Method

Notes

Unused pizza dough can be frozen for future use.

Preparation

In a large warm mixing bowl, mix the flours, water, salt, yeast and oil to form a dough ball.
Turn onto a clean worksurface and knead until smooth.
Wash out the bowl and dry it, and then add a little oil. Put the dough ball in the bowl and swirl it to cover with oil. Cover and put in a warm place to rise, until doubled in volume (60 - 90 mins).

Meanwhile make the toppings

Basic Topping 1
The tomatoes should be mixed with tomato puree to thicken them a little.
Basic Topping 2
Make the Italian Tomato Sauce as per the recipe.
Other toppings
Slice and or cook the rest as necessary.

Cooking

Pre-heat the oven to maximum temperature.
Deflate the dough by turning out and patting.
Cut off a lemon sized lump of dough (100 gm of dough is fine for one pizza for one person).
Roll it round between your hands to make a dough ball.
On a floured surface, roll the dough out using a rolling pin, until about 4 mm thick keeping it as round as possible.
Place on a baking tray.
Add a drizzle of oil and a good pinch of salt.
Add your chosen toppings.
Bake in the top of the oven for 5 to 8 minutes.
If the "crust" is browning at the edges and any cheese is melted, it's cooked.

Assembly

Add any extras such as fresh herbs or green leaves.

To serve

Eat whilst still hot.

Variations
