Cheat’s Pizza Dough (For 1 large Pizza) – If you have more time, choose my Basic Pizza Dough recipe.

Ingredients:

200g Plain Flour
Pinch Salt
1 teaspoon Baking Powder
40g Butter or Margarine
15ml or 1 tablespoon Olive Oil
1 Egg
75ml Milk

Recipe:

1. Mix together the dry ingredients- flour, salt and baking powder. Rub in the butter until it looks like breadcrumbs.

2. Whisk together the olive oil, egg and milk in a separate bowl. Make a well in the centre of the dry ingredients and add the liquid.

3. Stir the mixture by hand quickly to form a soft dough. Place the dough on a well floured surface and knead for about 30 seconds only.

4. Roll the dough to fit the baking tray.

5. Lightly oil the baking tray and place the rolled dough into the tray. Press up the edges. Leave the dough to rise for about an hour (or more if you have time) until it rises to twice it’s size.

Now follow my recipe for Pizza.

Tip:

• You could add foil onto the baking tray prior to adding the rolled dough into it. This helps with making the washing up easier.

Preparation and cooking time: 20 mins plus rising time
