Baking | Homemade Pizza

Yesterday I uploaded a video on how we make pizza in my house. Every Friday is pizza night for us, it's a tradition we've had for several years now, starting with shop-bought pizza, and in recent years, making the pizza ourselves.

In the video I explain, step by step, how I make it. It's a really easy recipe (it's from a kids book- The Children's Baking Book, Denise Smart), and has a very tasty result. We've adapted the recipe over the years, almost making it our own, and a lot of the time we double or add another half onto the recipe, depending on how many people will be eating. In the video, I do the recipe as it is in the book, minus the salt, as we very rarely add salt to our recipes or cooking, unless it's in a cake, where exact measures are necessary.

So while writing this blog post, I went over to the video an realised that one bit of text (an ingredient) wasn't there, it had hidden underneath the video footage on the timeline in my editor. So I have re-uploaded the video now (I know, I know, only a little mistake, but it really annoys me!) Scroll down below to watch it.

Here are the ingredients:

225g Strong White Plain flour

Half a Teaspoon of Fast Action Dried Yeast

150ml Warm Water

Tablespoon of Extra Virgin Olive Oil

Salt (I didn't use salt before when this was filmed, but I now add just a pinch of salt)

It really is an easy recipe, and don't worry if a little more water ends up going in, or there isn't enough flour, it ends up working out, as you use flour for kneading and rolling out the dough -just as long as you get a nice elastic consistency in the end.

Until next time,
