Here's a lovely little snap from a few Friday nights ago when I had a few friends over for Pizza (all homemade) and Pimms. It was devine.

Sourdough. I have been converted and now only resort to the jar of microorganisms commonly known as "yeast" when I'm out of time... 

Sourdough is so delicious, so good for you, so easy to look after and gives it more taste. You really do have to try it!!! I have a couple of pizza stones and a pizza oven but I assure you that this is not necessary...

Do you notice something missing on these pizzas though...?



Makes 2-3 Bases

Ingredients:
1 1/2 C warm water
14 g (2 satchets) dried yeast
1 t sugar
4 C flour
1/4 C olive oil
pinch salt

Method:
1. Use a fork to whisk water, yeast, salt and sugar together in a jug. Cover and stand for 5 minutes, or until bubbles appear on surface.
2. Sift flour into a large bowl. Add yeast mixture and oil. Mix well to form a soft dough. Turn dough onto a lightly floured surface. Knead for 10 minutes.
3. Cover dough in cling wrap and allow to stand in warm place until double in size.
4. Roll dough to about 7 mm thick.
5. Top with desired toppings and bake in a preheated 220°C oven for 15 to 20 minutes, or until crisp and golden.
