A delicious pizza is a great family meal, and is fun to make as well. Here we're going to look at how to make a pizza from scratch, starting off with the dough, and then topping it off to make a classic Italian pizza.
So, you'll need these ingredients for your pizza base:
Ingredients:
1 pound of flour
7 ounces of brewers' yeast
4 tbsp of olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste
Milk - if you like your pizza base softer
So, get yourself a nice clear surface to work on, and pour the flour out, and start forming it into a cone-like shape, a bit like a volcano, leaving a central gap to pour a little warm water inside, along with the yeast, and a tbsp of salt. If you like, you can add a bit of milk to make it a bit softer.
Add some more water - 150ml should be plenty - and knead the pastry thoroughly to bind it, until smooth and even. Then place it on a tray, cover and leave to rest for a couple of hours. The yeast will make the base's volume double in size as it rests. Then move it to a warm place (for example the inside of the oven, not turned on). Grab your rolling pin and extend the dough into the round shape, and you're ready to start adding the toppings!
We're going to use the pastry to make a Neapolitan pizza now, so you'll need the following ingredients:
Ingredients:
18 ounces of your pizza dough
10.5 ounces of tomato sauce
Two mozzarellas (fresh cheese)
1 can of anchovies in olive oil or 4 salty anchovies
Extra virgin olive oil
Flour
Oregano
Salt and pepper to taste
Take your ready-made dough, and season with the tomato sauce across the base, then add in the chopped mozzarella. Chop the anchovies up too and add them on, then some salt and pepper to taste, drizzling plenty of oil across before placing in the oven..
Place the pizza on a tray with either oil (or flour, which will enhance the taste), and bake in a hot oven. Cook for up to 25 minutes, any more than that and you risk overcooking the pizza, and the base will burn. You can add some more shredded mozzarella pieces a few minutes before the end of the cooking time. Finally, cut up into a few slices, then all that's left is to serve up, and enjoy!
