Homemade Pizza

Homemade Pizza
 
Ingredients:

·         500gr 00 Flour

·         300ml water at room temperature

·         10gr salt

·         6gr dry Yeast

·         35gr Olive Oil

Method:
1.    For the dough, add the flour in the mixer bowl, then add the salt. In a different bowl, mix the water, oil and dry yeast with a whisk. Let the yeast activate (about 4 minutes), then add to the flour and turn on the mixer.
 
2.    Work the dough in the mixer for about 6-7 minutes; take it out, form a nice dough ball and put it back in the mixer bowl. Wrap with cling film and let it rise for about 2-3 hours (it should be in a warm spot, so I use the immersion cupboard).
 
3.    Once it has risen, take it out of the bowl, knock it back and split it into equal weight smaller balls - 110gr each should be good enough.
 
4.    Dust the surface of the tray with flour, put the balls on it, cover with cling film and let them rise for about 2 hours. Only then will you be ready to make the Pizza.
 
5. Get the pizza dough out. On a good, clean, floured surface, do your best to shape it, either with a rolling pin or with your hands.
 
6.  The oven should be very hot, I leave it to 250C; I also have a pizza stone in it that would need to be heated up. I usually have the oven on Grill function, so the stone gets nice and hot. When it is time to cook the pizza, I turn it to convention - it usually takes just about 5 minutes to cook.
 
7.  Once your Pizza dough is shaped, add some tomato sauce, starting from the centre and moving outward; top it up with Mozzarella and there you have a Margherita... then you can top it up with anything, just not Pineapple!
 
For the Sauce
Ingredients:

·         1 tin chopped tomatoes

·         Salt

·         Basil

·         3 Spoons of Olive oil

·         1 bag of grated mozzarella

 
Method:
1. As the dough is rising, let’s make the sauce... just mix all ingredients together!
