Easy Basic Pizza No Need to Proof or Rest the Dough
- 100 grams Bread (strong) flour (or use 1/3 to 1/2 cake flour for a more tender crust)
- 3 to 5 grams Baking powder
- 70 ml Water (or milk)
- 1 Melting type cheese
- 1 tbsp Tomato paste (or tomato puree, ketchup, hot chilli sauce, etc.)
- 1 generous amount Salt and pepper
- 1 generous amount Dried basil, dried oregano
- 1 Toppings of your choice
- Mix the bread flour and baking powder together.
- Add the water, and knead with your hands.
- (If the dough won't come together, add a little more water.)
- Press the dough out on a piece of kitchen parchment paper.
- You can use aluminum foil instead but dust it with flour first so that the dough doesn't stick to it.
- Spread the top with tomato paste, and sprinkle generously with salt and pepper, dried basil, and dried oregano.
- For a basic pizza, just top this with cheese.
- Add any toppings of your choice.
- If you want it to be spicy, add some red chili pepper or hot chili sauce.
- Drizzle the pizza with a little olive oil, and put it in the oven.
- You can use a toaster oven too.
- Cover with aluminum foil halfways through to prevent the pizza from burning.
- When the pizza is done, drizzle with a bit more olive oil, and enjoy.
- This one is overbaked.
- I kneaded the dough using milk instead of flour.
- If you top the crust with fresh tomato slices it really tastes great.
- Here, I kneaded some dried basil into the dough.
- I sprinkled on a little curry powder to make the corned beef I used as topping a bit easier to eat.
