While we're on the subject, then, I had a pizza base disaster last night - I added waaaay too much water and, after an hour in the bread maker, ended up with a base you could pour!

I salvaged it (eventually) with a couple of extra handfuls of bread flour, some polenta and 10 minutes of battering it into submission with a well-floured rolling pin (there wasn't much rolling involved, believe me!). The final result was pleasantly thin and crunchy but I'm not about to try it again - there was far too much swearing involved while I tried to stop the dough sticking to my hands, the rolling pin and the baking tray! :mad:
