Make Your Own Pizza Night!

I use this simple dough mixture a lot.  I’ve made scrolls for the lunch box & flat bread for soup, and I also use this recipe for pizza bases sometimes. Personally, I prefer the regular pizza base recipe, however this is so quick and easy and the husband and the kids love it so I often whip this up for a quick & fun dinner night.

The children love picking their own toppings to build their pizza and it’s a lovely family activity to do. 

Ingredients

2 Cups SR Flour (300 grams)

1 Cup Greek Yoghurt (280 grams)

Dough Method – Regular

1. Place yoghurt & 1 cup of SR flour into a large mixing bowl. 

2. Mix with a spoon until just combined.

3. Add the rest of the flour, a little bit at a time, and use your hands to work through until you have formed a dough ball.

4. Knead for about 5 minutes on a floured board or bench.

5. Cut dough in half, and then each half in three pieces. This makes 6 mini pizza bases (approximately  the size of a bread & butter plate).

6. Roll out each piece to about half a centremetre thickness each.

7. Top with favourite toppings and baking in a pre-heated 190°C oven for about 15 minutes, until toppings are golden.  I use a flat baking tray lined with paper to cook the individual pizzas.

Dough Method – Thermomix

1.  Weigh out all ingredients into bowl.

2. Slowly turn to speed 6 for 10 seconds until dough is formed.

3. Lock lid and set timer to 1.5 minutes, kneed option.

4. Remove dough from the Thermomix bowl and place on to a floured board or Thermomix mat.

5. Kneed into a ball. Add a little extra flour when kneading if needed.

6. Cut dough in half, and then each half in three pieces. This makes 6 mini pizza bases (approximately  the size of a bread & butter plate).

7. Roll out each piece to about half a centremetre thickness each.

8. Top with favourite toppings and baking in a pre-heated 190°C oven for about 15 minutes, until toppings are golden.  I use a flat baking tray lined with paper to cook the individual pizzas.

Tip:

• Use a little olive oil on the base of the baking paper for added golden flavour to the base of the pizza.
• For a cheesy crust, sprinkle cheese along the outside of the dough circle and fold the edge over the cheese to incase it (you can see what this looks like here)

Toppings

I lay out various ingredients in small ceramic bowls so it’s easy for the kids to decide on their toppings.  This is what I had on hand but we enjoy a lot of different toppings.

This is my son’s pizza. I had to laugh because he just put on heaps of meat and then “Spinach to make it a bit healthy”. No cheese — nothing but meat and spinach.

My eldest daughter, however, likes the lot.
