My first pizza :)

Hi - well using my usual make up dough - I made a pizza - awful day - argueing with people - got home, had nothing in the house - thought hmmmm tuna - tomatoes - flour = pizza :) 

and it came out nicely - I think I'll use a bit semolina flour in there next time - I noticed on the 2nd one - that if you fold it and roll it a few times, you get those lovely big pockets of air bubbles - I like them :D 

I made a video of how I make bread - I'll get that uploaded soon.

Thanks Patrick.


What is your recipe for the base? How do you make it?

This one turned out nice, but I've not got the most lovey pizza - yet hehe (well it was my first one) - I think a little bit of semolina flour in there, could be nice........

What do you do?

Lots of great recipes around. Probably as many as there are pizza makers. My basic go to pizza is at 62% hydration. A single  pie might be 10 oz's bread flour,6 water,teaspoon salt and a quarter teaspoon of yeast. Latly I put a t of olive oil and one of honey. Mix it all in a mixer for 3 minutes let it rest ten minutes then mix for about 5 min. more , put it in a bowl coat with a bit of oil ,cover and put in fridge for over nite. Next day let warm up, shape top and bake in hot oven as hot as your oven gets---500. Carful you do not get addicted. Have fun as it is endless. Patrick
