Making Pizza

Pizza is a favourite food all over the world. In Italy, people don't have as much filling on the pizza - it is more bread than filling.

Pizza

1 cup milk
3/4 cup water
1 tablespoon salt
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 teaspoons sugar
2 tablespoons yeast
4 1/4 cups bread flour

 

Combine the milk, water, salt and sugar in a mixing bowl and heat to lukewarm.

Add the yeast, stir well and let sit 10 minutes to develop.

Add the oil and flour and mix well.

After mixing, cover with a damp towel or plastic wrap and let it rise.

After the dough has been knocked down, then risen again, turn it out on to a floured surface.

Divide the dough into 3 equal portions. Form into balls, let them rest 10 minutes, then form into round pizza shapes.

You then may place the dough on a baking tray.

The classic pizza in Italy is the Margherita.

It consists of crushed canned tomatoes, fresh chopped basil, mozzarella cheese and virgin olive oil.

You can put whatever you like on top of your pizza.

Preheat oven to 250°C.

It should bake for about 8 minutes or until puffy and light golden brown in color.

Serve it immediately.

Cut it into wedges, and share with your friends!
