Have you been lacking oomph? I've certainly been lacking the oomph for blogging, so today have had a ramble at the camera to explain such, and in that video promised to share a recipe for you to try. This isn't becoming a cooking blog, I'm simply sharing something I've enjoyed creating recently! Everyone and their badger seems to be cooking at the moment, so I've joined the madness... I've made pizza. If a friend's 5 year old can manage it, I figure I can. To make it classy, I've modified a white sauce recipe, which makes a gorgeous garlic base. This creates a wonderful vegetarian pizza, or you can add cooked chicken, thinly sliced cooked potato, mushrooms, red onion and mozzarella for a posh pizza. The recipes, and servingsYou can use either recipe alone, but if you want to cook the pizza with the garlic white sauce, get your toppings sliced and prepared first, and put the oven to 220 degrees/200 fan, that way the oven can be heating up as you cook the sauce. Both recipes take about 40 minutes, plus a little time to chop your toppings (unless you plan to do it in the 5 minutes while the base pre-bakes). Serves: 1 really very hungry person who fancies a whole pizza..... or 2 people, or even 4 people as part of a meal with a slice each, chips and salad etc. (Tip, have some salad or sides as an option if you cook this for the first time for 2 people, as if your base ends up too thick, you get less overall pizza, so the sides will help it add up to a meal) Kit wise, you need: Scales Measuring jug Teaspoon, tablespoon, knife Decent size frying pan or pan Whisk Mixing bowl Mixing spoon (or hands) Rolling pin (or a clean round bodied bottle) Baking tray(s) You may want to divide the dough if you use two smaller trays Garlic white Sauce for pizza
I made my dough too wet and over-kneaded a little, so couldn't get the base as thin as I wanted. No worries though, if you get a thicker base just allow a little longer pre-baking, and then again when cooking with the toppings. That'll cook through the base for you. Give it a go!Cooking from scratch which doesn't take hours, require lots of odd ingredients, or create a pile of cleaning is a very rewarding way to spend some time, and this is genuinely an easy recipe easy to "bring back" if you add a little too much of any ingredient (and can be delicious even if you do make a chunkier base)
There's lots of scope to try different toppings (I think bacon will be yum on this...) so let me know your topping suggestions in the comments, or even recommend other easy recipes I can have a go at!
