    I have tried to make my own but they were a disaster. I bought Sainsburys ones last week and found them quite thin and crunchy (bit hard too). Are there any nice bases out there, preferably a bit lighter and fluffier (if you know what I mean. Or alternatively pre-made dough I could just roll out?

    I use the tesco pizza base mix, you just add water, knead it then roll it out. Tastes lovely and is about 54p and provides enough for 2 pizzas.

    this is the one I use be careful though because it is very filling!

    makes 4 bigish pizza bases
    the sauce easily makes enough for 10 pizzas (well for us anyway) I freeze the sauce in batches and also freeze spare pizza bases. still very quick & easy but alot tastier than supermarket version

    I've just read the details on the bbc one and that doesnt suggest cooking the base first, is this not neccessary then?:confused:

    Have you got a bread machine? I'm making 2 pizza bases right now using the dough setting.

    Sorry just seen the BBC recipe which is very similar to what I do. I don't bake the base first and they take just 15 mins in a hot oven.

    Breadmaker has just finished it's dough cycle. I opened the lid to find much less dough than I expected. It took only a few seconds to realise I didn't add the yeast:doh: . If I add yeast now and put it on again will it work? We're obviously not having pizza tonight - but there's always tomorrow!:o
    I have plenty of willpower - it's won't power I need.

    No there's no need to cook the base first.
    and to freeze them I just pop them in the freezer and when frozen pop them in a freezer bag.
    they are absolutely yummy and very filling.:D

    Erm... probably :)

    Alternatively you could use it as it is and get a very crispy base... :)

    I'll give it a go - nothing to lose except 1 1/2tsp yeast.

    Just made Aromatic Seafood Rice as an alternative for tonight and it smells really good. It's a recipe from a book called One Pot that I got for £2 from Wilkinsons on Saturday. £2 well spent I think!
