Give me a slice!

The pizza situation.

I call it “THE SITUATION” because no matter who you are, or what you do, everyone loves pizza. If you don’t, you actually don’t have a soul. 😉

My pizza base recipe

600g of flour

A pinch of salt

2 tablespoons of olive oil

1.5 teaspoons of yeast

500ml of water (slightly warm)

Mix yeast into water to activate

Add the olive oil to your water and mix, add to the flour and salt….combine

You are not looking for a bread dough “all of it comes together” ball, it will be soft and almost still runny. LEAVE IT to rise. It will almost quadruple in volume.

See the bubbles, be the bubbles 👍

Plop out onto a well floured surface

All you doing here is gathering the dough back onto it self

Don’t overwork it

Place your pizza base, be it rectangle or round onto a floured oven tray or pizza stone. Bake in a oven that’s been preheated to 200 degrees – until it’s almost a tan colour (you effectively bake the base until it’s done, but without burning it)
