Prep Time 15 minutes
Cook Time 10 minutes
Total Time 1 hour 25 minutes
Servings 2 pizzas (thin)

Ingredients
 

  • 200 ml water, luke warm
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2.5 cups flour
  • 1 3/4 teaspoons yeast

Instructions
 

  • Put all ingredients into the breadmaker.
  • If making by hand, mix together then knead for about 10 minutes until the dough is elastic in feel. Put into a bowl and cover with a tea towel to rise to about double in size. Then
  • Roll dough on a lightly floured surface into a 30cm round for a thick base, or 2 x 30cm rounds for a thin base.
  • Place onto a lightly greated baking tray or pizza trays. Spread or spinkle pizza with selected toppings.
  • Bake in a preheated oven at 210 degrees celsius for 10-12 minutes, or until base is cooked and toppings are heated through.

Notes

  • Instead of rolling the dough on a floured surface, use semolina instead. It gives the pizza base a nice finish once baked.
  • Mix together tomato paste with crushed garlic and dried oregano for a quick and easy pizza sauce to put straight onto the base.
  • For something a little different, try this... once the pizza is out of the oven, add fresh rocket on top and sprinkle with both a fragrant olive oil and balsamic vinegar.
