Pizza Dough

"For anyone not feeling like converting measurements to metric, this is a recipe from Silvana Franco (Saturday Kitchen). It uses a standard sachet of yeast. I ended up with a monster deep pan pizza by accident so roll/ pat it out thinly if that's what you're after. It also makes lovely dough balls a la Pizza Express/ rolls/ breadsticks."

directions

  • Mix the flour, yeast and salt together in a large mixing bow.
  • Stir in the olive oil and warm milk. Make sure that the millk is only warm, not hot or the yeast will be killed and the dough won't rise.
  • Gradually add the warm water, mixing well to form a soft dough.
  • On to a floured work surface, knead until smooth and elastic which is about 5 minutes.
  • Leave it to rise in a clean bowl until doubled in size, which is roughly 1½ hours.
  • The website didn't say you had to precook the bases, but as mine was a bit thick, I did. Neither did it specify an oven temperature or cook time so I put it in on a baking tray at about 200C and came back to check after 10 minutes.
  • *To my excess dough (didn't want 6 8 inch pizzas) I added chopped black olives, garlic and onion then made balls and twists. These stayed fresh and were lovely with soup the next day.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I work in a local museum, training to be a curator. I enjoy baking at weekends, mainly sweet stuff but the BF and I are trying to put a stop to the expanding waistlines. This means fewer, or smaller batches rather than sugar substitutes or margarine. Butter, cream and sugar all the way (in moderation)! It's not a proper weekend unless I've burned myself, probably getting something in or out of the oven. I learnt to knit with the support of the people in the Learn to Knit thread on the craft forum and am now involved with a fun local group. For laughs, I go to quite a few stand-up comedy nights around town.
