I made pizza..hehe

Finally I have the gut to do it, so if I can do it...u too can do it ... There are numerous recipe available on the internet. And also with the help of the "Cooking Italian" cookbook, we enjoyed a scrumptious dinner last weekend (ok I am exaggerating a bit). Ahaks...

Ok...the trick of making a pizza is on the dough. Here is a simple recipe dough that I used:


Ingredients for pizza base:
7gm (1/4 oz) sachet dried yeast
1/2 teaspoon of salt
1 teaspoon of honey
1 tablespoon of olive oil
2 1/2 cups (250gm or 8 oz) of bread flour (for much better result, but you can use plain flour instead)
1 cup (250ml) of warm water

Method:
1. Dissolve salt, and honey in the warm water, then add in the dried yeast. Mix well.
2. Leave it yeast mixture aside for about 10 minutes (or until foamy) cover with a cling wrap.
3. Sift flour into a bowl. Gradually add in the olive oil, mix well.
4. Make a well in the centre of the flour, then pour in the yeast mixture.
5. Mix to a dough. Knead to form a clean ball.
6. Coat the dough with some olive oil. And let the dough rise for at least an hour.
7. After an hour, punch the dough to let the air out. And leave to rest for about 10 minutes.
8. Heat the oven at 200C.
9. Roll the dough, or use your fingertips to stretch the dough from the centre outwards to cover the pan.
10. Fold the edges to form a lip.


11. Sprinkle some olive oil on top to prevent it getting soggy from the topping. Punch some holes in the dough with a fork to let the air escape the pizza while cooking.
12. Spread the pizza sauce, cheese, onions, mushroom and your favourite topping.





13. Dont forget mozarella cheese to finish the process.
14. Bake for 25 - 30 minutes.
