Made my first pizza dough in the Bread Maker today…. The cooked pizza is wonderful and really, really tasty. Highly recommended to one and all….. I don’t have a proper pizza pan so I used a medium sized oven-roasting pan. I spread the dough over the bottom of the pan and about 1 inch up the sides to make a Deep Pan Pizza of sorts …lol….
.... and then put it aside to rise for 15 minutes.
Then I put some tomato paste on the dough, followed by a small tin of chopped tomatoes, grated cheese and chopped onion, then chopped boiled ham and olives and grated cheese, followed by thinly sliced tomatoes and grated cheese. It was then cooked at gas mark 7 for about 20 minutes.
From an Old Style Money Saving point of view I would estimate the ingredients, cooking costs and so on would not be more than £4.00 roughly. Comparing this with the price of Pizzas from the well known outlets and the frozen ones from the supermarkets, home made has to be very good value. :TThe £2 Coin Savers Club = £346.00 (£300.00 transferred to Savings a/c)

sounds yum..pizza is my fav and never made it before MSE.. can not believe the money I wasted.
I use never use the bread maker and it only takes minutes to make the dough.. using the plain flour, a little salt, water mixed with a little yeast and leave it to rest for an hour.. then spread with tom puree, a little garlic, cheese and sliced toms.. a cost it at about 1.00.0 -
We madeours on Monday night!
Got the 3yr old to make it too, so she actually ate it!
Although the cheese wasn't as cooked as I would have liked it.
I don't eat pizza, but the family tell me it was nice!0 -
We're having home made pizza tonight! I love it. We buy bases from morrisons at the moment (until my breadmaker finally arrives!) We add home made tomato base, black olives, pinenuts, capers, onions, peppers, mushrooms and sultanas usually with sliced mozzarella. Utterly scrumptious. (Our own version of Pizza Express' Veneziana.)
My husband and his 2 best friends are complete pizza addicts and even had regular 'pizza club nights' when they were all single. It mainly involved drinking lots of wine, getting a Dominos pizza each, watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer and talking about girls from the one night I was invited along!
Now he won't touch a dominos pizza because he likes ours better and we save a packet on them!May all your dots fall silently to the ground.0 -
i use morrisons pizza bases also but for the tomato base i use campbells soup the 'mediteranian tomato' its so nice i also use it on pasta will never buy a jar of pasta sauce again, will always use the soup0

If you look in the Recipe Collection there's a lazy pizza listed which uses a simple scone base - no need for a breadmaker at all, and I'm pretty sure there are variants on that theme to be found in our other recent threads on pizzas...

The "quickest pizza ever!" is better than anything I have ever tasted from a supermarket.
I just spread some tomato puree on the base, then cheese/mushroom/pineapple/ham and herbs on the top.0 -
try making your own tomato sauce base for an even scrummier pizza.
Fry some garlic and finly chopped onion until translucent, then add a couple of tins of chopped tomatoes and a tablespoon or so of tomato puree + 1/2 tsp of sugar+ oregano to taste
Cook gently until very dry, ie: there is no more liquid just a thick puree.
This makes enough for 6 large 12" pizzas and can be frozen in batches.
Put this on the dough base top with mozzarella, & chosen toppings, a sprinkle of olive oil and some more oregano.
The only question I have is how to stop the kids piling so many toppings on?:rotfl:0 -
We (me, 6yr old and 21 month old
) made Caterinas pizza on Monday night. The only problem was that the base was a bit soggy in the middle..... does this happen to anyone else? Has anyone used those pizza trays with holes in the bottom?
Apart from that, daughter thought it was WONDERFUL and even took the leftovers to school for her lunch the following dayJust run, run and keep on running!0
