Equipment

  • Oven

Ingredients
  

Dough

  • 125 ml Water Water
  • 0.5 tsp Sugar
  • 3 grams Instant Yeast
  • 200 grams Flour Strong, extra for dusting
  • 0.25 tsp Salt

Toppings

  • 200 grams Mozzarella Cheese Shredded
  • 4 each Cumberland Sausages Chopped
  • 1 each Onion Sliced
  • 1 each Tomato Diced
  • 1 each Capsicum Sliced or Diced
  • 8 tbsp Napolitana Sauce

Instructions
 

  • In a small mixing bowl mix the water, sugar and yeast together and wait for about 15mins until the yeast bubbles and activate.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the salt and flour, then combine the 'yeast' solution to your flour (wet into dry) and mix and knead until the dough is smooth and elastic.
  • Set aside and cover with a moist tea towel, set aside somewhere nice, warm and moist to let it proof to double its size. This may take and hour or so.
  • When complete, take it out, knock it down and dust a clean working surface. Divide your dough into 2 large pizzas, and roll in into thin bases.
  • Let your rolled pizza bases re-proof another 15minutes before you add you napolitana sauce, followed by all your toppings.
  • Pre-heat your oven to 210 deg C, place your pizza to cook for about 10-15 minutes or until dough and toppings are cooked.
  • Serve while hot!

Notes

Chef Notes:

  • Yeast: Instant yeast would be the easiest to get your hands on - its available in most good supermarkets, however, fresh yeast is easier to work with and much better smelling.
  • Flour: You could use stronger flour, but generally any general purpose (not self raising) would work well.
  • Proofing: Its essential you be patient at this stage. You want tiny (or large) bubble to form in the dough. This make the pizza base fluffy, airy and soft!
  • Sauces: In the recipe above its a napolitana sauce, but its up to you! Cream cheese base sauces, Meat Sauces, Thick Vegetable Creams, even vegetable purees will work.
  • Toppings: Go for your life! Mushrooms, bacon, pork belly, chicken breast, smoked duck, asparagus, broccoli, argula, smoked salmon, tuna, prawns, crab - its really endless. Just think of how the sauce vs topping taste profile you want to build.
  • Cheese: Mozzarella is by definition default, funk it up a little with some goats cheese, salt parmesan, melty emmental or gooey brie - or even some greek feta!
  • Dessert: Think that pizza is only for main meals? I dare you to try a chocolate sauce base, with bananas and sprinkles as toppings!
