PROCEDURE:
Place the sieve over a bowl, add the flour and gently shake it through.
In the medium bowl, combine the salt, yeast and caster sugar. Make a hole in the centre,
add the olive oil and warm water and mix in well. Give it a quick, final mix by hand to
create a rough paste.
Remove the dough from the bowl and place onto the chopping board. Knead the dough
for roughly 3-4 minutes, using the heel of your hand. Keep kneading until it has formed a
smooth ball.
Transfer the dough into a large clean bowl, cover with some cling film, and leave it to
rise for approximately two hours or until it has doubled in size.
Uncover the bowl and sprinkle the dough with flour. Remove it from the bowl and place
onto a flat surface. Sprinkle some more flour over the dough and roll it into a circle. Dust
with flour again, turn it over and roll the other side.
Flour the base of the circular baking tray. Place the dough over the tray and push it
outwards into a rustic circle.
If you aren't going to bake it straight away, it needs to be wrapped in cling film and kept
in the fridge, for a maximum of 24hours.

Homemade Pizza
Ingredients:
Dough:
1 tablespoon dry yeast
1 1/2 cups warm water (105-115F)
3 1/2 cups white flour OR
1 1/2 cups white flour AND 2
cups whole wheat flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons olive oil
Sauce:
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 2-pound can whole or crushed tomatoes
3/4 teaspoon dried oregano
1/4 teaspoon dried basil
1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
Directions:
Dough:
Prepare the dough at least two hours before you assemble the pizzas.
Mix yeast and water in a large bowl; place in warm spot for about five minutes. Sift flour and salt
into the yeast. Mix well, then add olive oil and form a soft ball. Knead on floured surface until
soft and elastic (about five minutes). Shape into ball and place in a lightly oiled bowl. Cover with
a clean towel and place in a warm spot for about one hour. Punch down dough and reshape into
ball. Cover and let sit another 20 minutes, or until it rises again. Punch down again. Refrigerate
until ready to use.
Sauce:
Pour olive oil into large skillet and place over medium heat. Add tomatoes to the warm olive oil
with the remaining ingredients, crushing whole tomatoes with your hands as you add them to the
pan. Cook over medium-low heat, breaking up tomatoes with wooden spoon, until the sauce is
thick, 40-50 minutes.
Putting it all together
Roll out the dough and place on cookie sheets or pizza pans sprinkled with cornmeal. There is
enough dough for two large thin crust pizzas. Pinch a lip along the edges. Top with sauce, cheese
and your choice of pizza toppings, drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with basil. Bake in 450F
oven for 12 minutes.
Make this pizza with a thin wheat crust, which is crisp and slightly nutty sweet after baking, but
with this recipe you can make the crust according to your preference. Favorite toppings include
caramelized onions, sliced tomatoes, pepperoni, spinach and freshly grated mozzarella cheese.
When this pizza is hot and fresh out of the oven, there is not a store-made pizza that can compare.

Pizza Sauce
Ingredients:
8.8oz Italian Passata di Pomodoro (or half Passata and half regular Tomato Sauce)
1oz Olive Oil
Pinch of Salt
Sugar (just a pinch to remove the tomato’s acidity)
Fresh Oregano or Basil
Optional:
If you enjoy the taste you can add some Garlic (minced)
Directions:
Notes:
- This sauce may be made up to 3 days ahead and refrigerated or up to 2 months ahead and
frozen.
- If you decide to use the Basil for you Pizza Sauce then, you can leave some Basil Leaves inside
the Oil the day before. In this way the Oil will automatically have a soft Basil flavour.
- Some people in Italy do not cook the "Passata", putting it straightaway on the pizza dough. This
is ok, but some canned or bottled Tomato Sauce have high level of bacteria, so you might want
to consider this before doing so.
Pizza Dough
Ingredients:
2.2lb Flour
21.1oz Warm Water (Not Cold Not Boiling... Just Warm)
1oz Salt
0.5oz Yeast
Directions:
Put the Hot Water in a pan.
Yeast and stir gently and let sit for 5 to 10 minutes, or until the yeast activates by turning
into a foam on top of the water.
Now, add the Salt.
Gradually add in the Flour as you stir the mixture simultaneously. You know you have
added enough Flour when the mixture becomes too thick to stir.
Knead the dough.
Take the Dough out of the bowl and put it on a clean and well-floured surface ( a marble
counter or clean table is best ).
Gather the Dough into a pile and begin pressing it together. Press the heels of your hands
firmly into the Dough, pushing forward slightly.
Fold the far edge of the Dough upwards, towards you, and press it into the middle of the
ball. Rotate it slightly, too. Repeat this press-fold-turn sequence for the duration of the
kneading process.
Let the Dough rise up for 1 hour at room temperature or 5 hours in the refrigerator.
Place on a floured counter and flour the top of the Dough.
Cut the Dough into two round Balls.
Flatten one Ball with your hand until about 0.7in - 1.5in thick.
Pick up the disk of Dough, and pinch the dough about 0.5in from the edge. Try and
stretch as you pinch, repeat this all around the edge.
When the disk of Dough has been stretched enough to start to be floppy, proceed to
tossing.
Make a fist and drape the Dough over your fist. Make a fist of the other hand and slip it
under the Dough next to your other fist. Carefully move your fists apart stretching the
Dough more. Shift your fists (left towards your face, right away) so the Dough rotates
while stretching.
When the Dough has reached about 8in in diameter, you can quickly move your left fist
in an arc that goes backwards towards your face. Do these while twisting your right fist
forward away from your face? If you give a little push upwards with your right fist the
Dough will spin like a Frisbee. Practice how it feels to balance the force of the first twists
equally. This will keep the Pizza from spinning off into the corner (or worse).
Be sure to catch the falling spinning Pizza as gently as you can with your two fists to avoid
tearing. But if tearing just start over and do the spinning process over again.
Notes:
- Take some Yeast off if you decide to leave it resting in the fridge for 14-18 hours.
- Don't knead the Dough too long. The texture changes fast. Every minutes counts.
Ingredients:
For the bases:
½ tsp active dry yeast
285g/9¼oz white spelt flour, plus extra for dusting
½ tsp Himalayan pink salt
Preparation:
Preheat the oven to 200C/400F/Gas 6.
For the bases, mix the yeast with 170ml/6fl oz of lukewarm water, cover and set aside in
a warm room for about 15 minutes.
Meanwhile make the sauce:
Heat the oil in a pan and gently fry the onion and garlic until the onions start to go
soft.
Add a splash of water to cool then add the remaining ingredients.
Simmer for 15 minutes, or until thickened.
Set aside until ready to construct the pizzas.
Whisk the yeast and water mixture and set aside for another five minutes.
Place the spelt flour and salt in a large bowl.
Make a well in the centre and pour in the yeast mixture.
Mix to combine then turn out onto a lightly floured work surface and knead for 5–10
minutes until smooth and silky to the touch, adding a little more flour if necessary.
Divide the bread dough into eight pieces, roll each piece into a ball and place on a
baking tray lined with baking parchment and flatten into a circle.
Smear on some tomato sauce followed by your choice of toppings and bake for five
minutes.
Rotate and bake for a further five minutes, or until the base is crisp.

Directions:
1.In a medium bowl, stir together the flour and salt. Cut in shortening using a pastry blender, or
pinching into small pieces using your fingers, until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Use a
fork to stir in water a few tablespoons at a time, until the mixture forms a ball. Pat into a ball, and
flatten slightly. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1 hour.
2.Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and cook until tender. Crumble
in the beef, and season with salt, paprika, cumin and black pepper. Cook, stirring frequently,
until beef is browned. Drain excess grease, and stir in the raisins and vinegar. Refrigerate until
chilled, then stir in the hard-cooked eggs.
3.Form the dough into 2 inch balls. On a floured surface, roll each ball out into a thin circle.
Spoon some of the meat mixture onto the center, then fold into half-moon shapes. Seal edges by
pressing with your fingers.
4.Heat oil in a deep-fryer to 365 degrees F (180 degrees C). Place one or two pies into the fryer
at a time. Cook for about 5 minutes, turning once to brown on both sides. Drain on paper towels,
and serve hot.
