re: Pizza Dough Recipe [merged w/ niksik's thread]
My recipe is similar to the one posted above.
Ingredients
*300g self raising flour
*150g butter
*1 egg
*milk and water to bind it together
1- Rub the butter into the flour until it resembles breadcrumbs.
2- Add salt, crushed pepper and chilli flakes, if desired
3- Beat the egg and add to the flour mixture. Stir in.
4- Use milk to bind all the dry ingredients together. Kneading as you go along. If you so wish, you can bind it together with water too. Milk makes it a little richer.
5- Knead until the bowl is left clean and set aside to rise to rise a little for an hour or so.
The dough keeps well in the fridge too.
For the sauce I normally take a can of chopped tomatoes. Heat it up. Add lemon juice, paprika, salt and some dried herbs and warm through.
Mozzarella works best for pizza. Cheddar cheese is a good alternative if you do not have mozzarella at hand.
