Busy doing nothing......?

It has been a little quiet here of late, but be assured I have not been busy doing nothing..

My daughters primary school are holding a craft fair and I have been beavering away at my craft emporium (well craft desk in the hall way) making lots of little goodies to sell. 

No pictures yet, so to keep things going I have a little baking treat to offer courtesy of Jamie Oliver. 

I had a friend over for tea with her little girl so decided to make pizza!  

I have never attempted pizza dough before but trusted Jamie to see me through.

I have to say there is no going back to freezer bought pizza's. Even if I do say so my self...this was one lovely pizza and the best thing about homemade pizzas is that everyone can choose their own topping and its fun getting the kids involved too.

You will find the pizza dough recipe in 'Jamie's Italy' pg. 52 where he talks you through the process but here is the basic ingredients for the dough itself:

For a pizza this size, could make 2 round ones I used:

400g strong white bread flour

100g ground semolina

1/2  tablespoon fine sea salt

1x 7g sachet of dried yeast

1/2 tablespoon golden caster sugar

Just over 1/2 pint of lukewarm water

Mix water,yeast, and sugar together and leave

Mix dry ingredients and salt

Make a well in the flours and add the yeast water

use a fork to bring ingredients together

knead into a dough ball

wrap the dough very tightly in cling film ( or you might find it bursting out as I did when you go back to it!!!) leave in the fridge until required

Roll out when ready to cook

Add your toppings, 

enjoy
