Tres bien - Homemade Pizza

lostkat · 27-06-2007, 22:32

No pics, because it got noshed immediately, but I made pizza tonight with a load of goodies that my Parents brought back from France for us (brie, sun-dried tomatoes, chorizo, olives etc.). It was bloody lovely!

All I did was add water to some pizza dough mix, kneeded it, rolled it out and left it to stand for 10 mins.

Whilst that was happening, I finely sliced some red onion, fresh mushrooms and chorizo. I also chopped up some sun-dried tomatoes, de-stoned a few olives, cut some chunks of brie and grated the obligitory 2 stone of cheddar

Then I spread some tomato puree on the pizza base and put a layer of cheese on it. Next, I arranged all my lovely ingredients and then topped it with more cheese and finally the brie.

20 mins in the oven, served with some lettuce out of the garden with cherry toms and balsamic vinegar / EV Olive oil.... NUM NUM NUM!!!

I call it the Med Feast!

Anyone else make their own pizza?? What toppings do you use?

we often make our own

here is our recipie -

1pkt smoked Bacon
1 tin chopped tomatoes
1/2 onion
200g Mushrooms (chopped into qtrs)
1 or 2 chillies (or to taste!)
1/2 tsp chilli sauce (tabasco or the like) as hot as you like it
fresh Oregano & basil
Salt & Pepper

1pkt Pizza base mix

trim fat from bacon
dry fry bacon and onion
Add mushrooms, cook for further couple of minutes
drain any excess fluid
Stir in Chilli
Add Tomatoes.
Add herbs
season to taste

Simmer gently until it has reduced to a paste like consistency (about an hour for me!).

while this is happening...
put oven on to about 170degC
mix up Pizza base as directed on the packet.
Roll out to a disc, leave for 15 mins

Once Pizza mix has reached desired consistency, spread over the base.

add pepperoni to taste
add any other topping you like

Grate cheese over the mix

cook in the oven until the cheese has melted and coloured a little.

I like making focaccia dough in my breadmaker and using that as a base for pizzas.

Nom nom nom.

goldilocks · 12-07-2007, 17:23

on your pizza base:
tomato paste
cooked quorn chicken strips
sweetcorn
finely sliced red onion
organic korma paste
cheese

curry pizza

2 of our favourite foods in 1!

i am a big fan of the sundried tomato / olive / brie / fresh spinach combo too though, mmm

Sod that i have a frozen one in the freezer. Heat oven, sling in, EAT, JD.
Even better phone them, skin up, answer door, pay them, EAT, JD.

I wish i had a woman to cook specials for me

dough = strong white bread flour, salt, sugar, yeast, olive oil and warm water
haloumi cheese for the stuffed crust
tomato sauce = tomato paste, garlic, olive oil, mixed herbs
topped with a bit more haloumi and some finely grated cheddar

simple + delicious (hopefully) wish me luck!
