Piiizzzaaaaa

Nothing tastes better than home made pizza and it is so much easier than you think!

Ingredients:

 

2 1/2 to 3 cups flour (can use a combination of white and whole wheat if you prefer)
1 tablespoon sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1 package (2 1/4 teaspoons) yeast
3 tablespoons olive or vegetable oil
1 cup very warm water

Tomato pasata

Toppings of your choice

Gratted cheese

Method:

1. Combine yeast, sugar, 1 cup of the flour, and salt in a large bowl. Add the warm water and mix.

2. Stir in remaining flour slowly until dough is soft but not sticky. Knead until smooth.

3. Cover with a damp tea towel and let the dough rest for at least an hour in a warm dry place.

For Calzone:

4. Roll out the dough into a big rectangle ON baking paper.

5. Put sauce on the centre half of the dough.

6. Just like pizza, add your toppings (our favourites are pepperoni, olives, and mushrooms). Any small amounts of meat, cheese and vegetables can be put into the calzone.

7. Then add cheese.

8. Cut the dough on the sides at about 3/4 inch intervals. Don't cut all the way to the filling.

9. Then "wrap the baby." Start at the bottom and alternating sides, overlap the strips of dough onto the filling in a lattice pattern. You can stretch the pieces to fit all the way over the filling.

For Normal:

10. Roll out the dough on a large circle on baking paper

11. Add tomato pasata and then your choice of toppings.

12. Bake for around 20 minutes until the crust is crispy.
