Pint Sized Pizza continued
METHOD 1.
Thoroughly wash hands and dry them completely
2.
Mix yeast, sugar and water together in a mixing bowl
3.
Leave to sit in a warm place for about 7 minutes (until yeast and sugar has dissolved)
4.
Add flour and mix to make a firm dough (adding extra flour as necessary)
5.
Using a rolling pin on a floured surface, roll out making the pizza base
6.
Place base on a greased thin oven tray (or tray can be lined with baking paper so the base doesn’t stick to the tray) and cook for about 10 minutes at 180°C
7.
While the base is cooking, wash the tomatoes and slice thinly. Sprinkle with just a little salt and set aside
8.
Thinly slice bocconcini and set aside
9.
Grate the cheese and set aside
10. By now base will be ready, so spread tomato sauce or tomato paste on first 11. Add the tomato and bocconcini and arrange evenly around the pizza base so that they slightly overlap 12. Spread basil leaves in the gaps 13. Add grated cheeses, spread evenly over the top 14. Place in oven and bake until cheese melts 15. Once cheese is melted and pizza is cooked the way you like it, remove and place on chopping board 16. Using a pizza cutter, slice pizza and serve 17. Be careful as cheese will still be quite hot for a while out of oven
