Pizza

 I was asked to divulge my pizza dough recipe.  It is embarrassingly easy:

Ingredients:

Dough
  • 500g flour
  • 1tsp salt
  • 1 tbsp yeast
  • 1 tsp sugar
  • 1 tblsp olive oil
  • 400-500ml warm water
Toppings
  • olive oil
  • minced garlic (lots and lots if you like)
  • sliced fresh tomatoes or sliced soaked dried tomatoes
  • sliced red peppers or roasted hot chilies
  • fresh garden herbs when available (thyme, oregano, sage, chives work well) or dried herbs
  • cheese (feta is nice, but you can switch it up and use cheddar, mozerella or parmesan
Mix all dough ingredients well.  Slowly add the warm water to form a kneadable dough.  Cover and let rise for 1h.  divide into three equal portions.  Roll out thin on cookie sheets or pizza stones.
Drizzle with olive oil, garlic and herb.  Then cover with tomatoes and peppers.  Add cheese.

Bake at 175C - 200C for 20-25 minutes.
