Pizza

Feeding a family of seven is really no joke, especially when they want to eat pizzas. That would always amount more than $100 per meal! Thought that I should try to make some myself.

Searched up the reliable Google, and wa-la! I found it! 

Yes! One of my good to page @ieatishootipost! 

So long the pizza base is good and fresh, the toppings can be changed and adjusted to individual preference.

INGREDIENTS

Dough

500g bread flour

1 tsp yeast

1 tbsp sugar

1 tsp salt

400ml water

Pizza toppings
Semolina flour and extra bread flour for dusting
Olive oil
Mozzarella cheese
Parmesan cheese
Toppings of your choice

Sauce
1 can tomato sauce or whole peeled tomatoes
2 tsp Italian herbs
1 tbsp tomato paste

METHOD

1.  Mix flour, yeast, sugar and water together in a bowl until there is not more dry flour.  It should be a shaggy ball.  Add salt and rest for 20mins.
2.  Knead for 10mins by hand or using a mixer (if kneading by hand reduce water to 360ml)
3.  Turn out the dough onto a floured tabletop and shape into a ball.  Cover with damp cloth and rest for 45 mins.
4.  Divide into four, ball and placed in oiled container.
5.  Leave on table to ferment till double in size (1-2 hrs) or place in the fridge overnight for extra flavour.
6.  Mix 1/2 cup  bread flour and 1/2 cup semolina flour
7.  Turn out the dough ball and cover with flour mixture
8.  Shape the pizza dough by pushing the air to the rim.  Flatten the centre leaving a 1 cm rim.
9.  Oil the Tefal ingenio pan
10.  Place the dough onto pan and continue to shape the pizza
11.  Oil the rim of the dough
12.  Add tomato sauce to the centre of the pizza
13.  Sprinkle parmesan cheese all over the pizza including the rim of the pizza.  (you want it to melt and cover the outside!)
14.  Sprinkle mozzarella cheese and add your desired toppings
15.   Put the pan into a 225 degree oven and bake for 8 mins.
18.  Option:  To create an even nicer char, using a propane torch to lightly char the rim
19.  Slice into 8 pieces and enjoy

Notes:
1) For my family, I need to make a double portion.
