Looks sensational HL!!
Have been wanting to try making my own pizza dough for some time.
Have you got an easy recipe for a total beginner that you would be willing to share?
No probs Billy and no secret.
My late wife's recipe which is pretty common I believe.
She used to raise it over a week so experimentation should be in the works. that one last week i raised in half a day but I did add extra yeast.
Play around with it and you will find your balance.
Even hard core aficionados can't believe that crappy flour was used to make the bases..Just get the heat up in your machine and experiment till you find your balance.
I normally use the Kenwood but felt like smashing something last Sunday, hence the second raise got the hand treatment.
7 grams (1 sachet or 1 1/2 teaspoons) dry yeast
About 1 cup warm water
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon sugar
Makes approx 4 thin family size bases.
Add yeast and sugar to warm water. Allow to froth up.
Add flour and enough water to make a dough. Knead until smooth.
Return dough to a large, oiled bowl and allow to rise to about double
the size. Remove and knead again.
Roll out to desired thickness to fit pizza tray then leave to rise on tray about 1/2 hour.
We make ours quite thin.
Amen..
