Making Pizza

An Italian friend of mine once showed me how to make pizza, Italian style.

I will share the recipe with you.

Ingredients:
1 Bread dough mix (not a bought pizza base!)
1 Tin of chopped tomato and capsicum.
Fresh Rosemary
Fresh Garlic
Anchovies (optional)
Ham (optional)
Pepperoni (optional)
Grated cheese
Olive oil
Pizza tray

The main thing to do is keep it simple. Less is better, except for the olive oil.

Make the dough an hour or two before you are ready to make the pizza. Knead it twice while it is proving.

OK, now we are ready to create.

Pour a whole lot of olive oil in the pizza tray. About a 1mm thick layer. Roll the dough flat with a rolling pin. Put the flat dough in the tray and layer with more olive oil. Here is the important bit. Add the cheese first. After the cheese, layer on the tomato and capsicum, anchovies, ham, pepperoni, garlic and rosemary.

Put some more olive oil on if you want.

Bake in the oven at 220deg/c for 10-15 minutes.

Cut into slices and enjoy.
