Farkin' A1! :rock:
THAT PIZZA LOOKS GOOD.have you got the recipe for the pizza base?
Yes. This makes enough for 2 bases with my pan size at 0.5cm thickness. Chuck the other one in the freezer until you get the munchies again.
DOUGH
4½ cups (22.5 ounces / 637.9 grams) bread flour
1½ cup (12.5 ounces / 354.4 grams) milk
2 teaspoons (0.27 ounce / 7.7 grams) active dry yeast
1 teaspoon (0.2 ounce / 5.7 grams) salt
1 tablespoon (0.42 ounce / 11.9 grams) sugar
3 or 4 tablespoons (1 ounce / 28.4 grams) olive oil
Mix until most of the flour and water have mixed, then continue kneading for 10 minutes. The dough will be loose and scrappy at first and will quickly form a moist, smooth cohesive ball (while the dough is still scrappy, add the olive oil one tablespoon at a time).
While the dough is kneading, add ½ cup (4 ounces) of olive oil to your pizza pan making sure that the oil completely covers the bottom.
After the dough has been kneaded for 10 minutes, remove it from the mixing bowl and, using a rolling pin, roll it out to the appropriate thickness (anything from 0.5cm to 1cm - up to you!) and size.
Place the dough in the pan and cover tightly.
Let the dough rise for an hour or so.
You can place the pan (still covered) into the refrigerator for at least 4 hours (up to 24 hours) which lets the dough soak up much of the oil for a more of a Pizza Hut style greasy dough, but I don't bother.
WHEN READY TO MAKE
Preheat oven to 500 °F (260 °C) if your oven can get that hot. Mine only goes to 250 but still works fine.
Remove dough from the refrigerator and add sauce, cheese, and toppings.
Bake at the same temperature for 15 to 20 minutes. When the base is done, the pizza is ready. Take it out of the oven and lock yourself in the bathroom ignoring the rest of the family banging on the door.
