Recipe Ingredient
- 250g high-protein flour
- ½ tsp salt
- 1 tsp instant yeast granules
- 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 50ml UHT milk
- 100ml lukewarm water
- Topping
- 2 slices bacon, cubed
- 1 smoked chicken sausage, sliced
- ½ an onion, sliced
- 5-6 sliced red capsicum rings
- 5-6 sliced green capsicum rings
- 3 pitted green olives, sliced
- Combined
- 130g grated mozzarella cheese
- 20g grated cheddar cheese
- Pizza sauce (combined)
- 2 tbsp canned tomato puree
- 1 tbsp chilli sauce
- 1 tsp olive oil
- 1/8 tsp dried oregano
- 1/8 tsp dried basil
Instructions
- Sift flour into a mixing bowl. Stir in instant yeast and salt. Add olive oil. Make a hole in the centre of the flour and pour in combined milk and lukewarm water.
- Mix the ingredients slowly with your hands until a soft dough is formed. Remove dough onto a lightly floured tabletop. Knead until dough is smooth and elastic. Place the dough in a roomy plastic bag. Secure well with a piece of raffia string and leave aside in a warm place to rise for 35-40 minutes.
- Remove dough from the plastic bag. Lightly flour your hands and working surface with a little extra flour. Punch down the dough and knead again to release or expel any air pockets.
- Shape the dough into a round ball then roll out thinly to fit a lightly greased pizza pan. Put the pizza pan in a roomy plastic bag again and rest the dough for 5-6 minutes.
- Prick the base of the pizza dough with a fork. Spread the surface with combined pizza sauce. Arrange topping ingredients over and sprinkle liberally with combined cheese mixture.
- Bake in preheated oven at 200°C for about 20 minutes or until golden brown. Cut and serve pizza warm.
