There's nothing like the satisfaction of whipping up some home made pizzas that the whole family will enjoy. This recipe makes 2 pizzas about the size of a dinner plate each. The base thick and crispy with just a hint of herbs. I usually make two for the kids which are just really plain tomato and barbecue sauce with ham and cheese. Then I make another batch of dough for our two pizzas and usually add whatever left overs are in the fridge.Cooking time.
- 10 Minutes to pre-cook the base.
- Then another 5 to 10 minutes once you have added your toppings.
Ingredients:
- 2/3 of a cup of Self Raising Flour (Gluten Free)
- 1/2 a cup of Plain Flour (Gluten Free)
- 2 x teaspoons of Xanthum Gum
- 1/2 a teaspoon of salt
- 1 teaspoon of Baking Powder
- 1 x sachet of yeast
- 1/2 a teaspoon of brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon of mixed herbs
- 3 tablespoons of milk
- 2/3 cup of luke warm tap water
- 1 x teaspoon of vinegar
Suggested Pizza Toppings:
The Kids Pizzas: (Ingredients for 2 pizzas)
- Tomato Sauce
- Barbecue Sauce
- Good quality gluten free sliced ham
- Grated Cheese
Mum & Dad's Pizzas: (Ingredients for 2 pizzas)
- Pizza sauce sachet
- Just a little grated cheese on the base
- Left over roast chicken pieces
- Open a tub of fresh mozzarella cheese balls. Break them apart and spread them liberally.
- 3 x Chopped Mushrooms
- 1 x Chopped Tomatoes
- Salt and Pepper
Method:
- Add all the dry ingredients to your food processor.
- Add Sugar
- Add the 3 tablespoons of milk
- Add the teaspoon of vinegar
- Add the Dry Yeast to the 2/3 a cup of warm tap water and stir in well (it should turn milky brown)
- Lastly, pour the yeast and water in to the food processor.
- Process for a minute.
- It will likely form a ball of dough (which is ideal). Keep processing it. The ball may break down. This is okay if it happens. It will still be a stiff dough. But may be a little sticky is all.
- Lightly flour a bowl and turn out your pizza dough in to it. Form a dough ball.
- Cover it with a tea towel and leave it rise for 30 minutes.
- While one lot of dough is rising, prepare your next batch (If you are making more).
- Once 30 minutes have passed, cut the dough ball in half. This will be enough for a single pizza.
- Roll it out between two pieces of baking paper (Spray them with olive oil spray).
- Turn out on to your pizza tray and curl up the edges so that the pizza has a thicker crust on the outside.
- Spray again with olive oil.
- Pre-bake the bases in a 200 degree oven for 10 minutes
- Remove from the oven.
- Turn the oven up to 250 degrees Celsius.
- Apply your toppings and return the pizza to the oven for a further 5 to 10 minutes.
- Test after five minutes. They are done when the bases have browned off evenly on the under side (so you may need a lifter to check).
- Serve for lunch or dinner or at parties. Enjoy with your friends and family.
