could anyone post specifics on a successful home made pizza base please? Quantities would be great too thanks

I cheat & make up a batch of pizza dough in my breadmaker! If its any help here's the recipe I use

1/2 teaspoon yeast
300g strong white flour
1 tablespoon of olive oil
1 teaspoon salt
170ml of water

It takes about 45mins to mix up & makes 2 massive (they just about fit on those round metal pizza baking trays with holes in them iykwim!) thin crust bases..

debtfreein4years

the receipe i use is

10 oz flour
1 oz lard
1 sachet yeast (7g)
pinch of salt
6 fl of hot water.

rub lard into flour till resembles breadcrumbs, add the yeast and salt and mix, add the water and knead. leave to rise for about half an hour or so until doubled in size. makes 2 very large 14" pizzas. cook for between 10 to 20 mins on 200degrees c.

also able to freeze the dough. i put it in once it has risen and then freeze it, take it out, defrost it and knead it again once defrosted and leave to breath for a bit.

Hi nettles,

To make a thin dough I just halve the recipe in my morphy richards instruction booklet and roll it out thinly.

There are lots of pizza base recipes on this earlier thread that should help so I've added your post to it to keep the suggestions together.

Does anyone know the pan base recipe that is very similar to that of pizza hut?

Im going to try my new pizza maker this week and as i love this base would like to try and replicate it.

Any ideas?

Many thanks

Hi OldStylers!

I've promised my OH I would have a go at making a HM pizza - ok it was a bet lol! I bought a nice pizza tray (£10.00 reduced to £2.50 in TKMAXX:beer:) but i've just realised we have no scales to weigh out ingredients etc and i cant find a receipe without weighing bits out! AAH!

Anyone know a estimate receipe?? Use Of cups / bowls etc is all i have lol!!

Thanks in advance!

This isn't a yeast dough, but I usually do it if I'm in a hurry, and it works out fine. I don't know amounts, I just shake and see how it goes, so it depends on how much you usually cook. It's S/R flour, salt and pepper (sometimes mixed herbs too, the bind with half olive oil, half water. Makes a sort of deep crust dough. Thriftlady is usually good with "Cup" recipes, maybe she'll be along soon, or you could try a search?
