Home Pizza

Home pizza for dinner!



Total of 3 pizza I have baked today, first pizza that I baked turn out as pan pizza. Hubby and Wayne don't really enjoy.

As for second and third pizza of mine turn out quite well, hubby loved it so much and asking for more serving. As for me, personally I prefer thin crispy crust than the pan pizza. Here is the thin crispy crust pizza of mine.



Today's topping:
Capsicum
Honey baked ham
Shiitake mushroom
Canned sliced pineapple
Tomatoes

Ingredients:
250g Plain Flour
250g Bread Flour
4 tsp Instant Yeast
300ml Lukewarm Water
1 tsp Salt
1 tbsp Olive Oil
1 cup Shredded Mozzarella cheese

Method - By hand
  1. Mix flour and instant yeast together.
  2. Add in lukewarm water and salt to form dough.
  3. Add olive oil, continue kneading for 10 minutes or become smooth and elastic.
  4. Lather the dough with olive oil and wrap or cover dough with cling wrap and let it proof for 2 hours or until doubled in size.

Preparing the base
  1. Punch down the dough to let the air out but do not over punch it. Knead for a couple of minutes.
  2. Split the dough into four equal balls.
  3. Using your knuckles, press each dough ball to your desire size.
  4. Brush with oil, follow with pizza sauce then toppings of your choice. Lastly will be the cheese.
  5. Preheat oven to 200C and bake the pizza for 10 – 12 minutes or till golden brown
If you want a pan pizza type, let the base proof for about 30 minutes before you start with the toppings.
