Gone before he came home...#

Do you ever come home and decide that you dont want to eat the healthy stir fry tonight for dinner but would rather have pizza. Ok to be fair. I had planned pizza for tomorrow night but I couldn't wait and swopped my nights around. After all I am seeing the Dr tomorrow and never know if he is going to put me on a major diet or not. This being my first time pregnancy and all...

So this is how I made the pizza.

Ingredients##

The dough base

300g white bread flour
5g sugar
1 packet of instant yeast
50ml warm water
Olive oil for your hands

For the tomato base

Garlic salt
Oreganum
35g tomato paste
50ml tomato paste

Toppings we used

Chorizo cut into thin strips
Peppadews
Feta cheese
Pineapple pieces
Mozarella cheese grated
Parmesan cheese

Step 1.
Preheat the oven to 200C

Step 2.
Mix the yeast, sugar and warm water in a cup and let stand for a while-until it starts to froth up.

Step3.
Mix the flour and salt in a bowl and then add the yeast water. Continue mixing by hand and add more warm water as needed until the dough is all together in a ball and does not stick to the sides of the bowl.

Step 4.
Put a wet towel over thw bowl with the dough in and let it rest for 15-20 minutes.

Step 5.
In the mean while mix all of the tomato base ingredients together and put aside.

Step 6.
Rub your hands in olive oil and remove the dough out of the bowl and split the dough into 2 equal pieces. Place on a baking sheet and roll out until 1-2mm thick and roll up the edges to create a crust.

Step7.
Rub each base with the tomato base sauce and add all the ingredients to the pizzas. Evenly distributed with the mozzarella cheese and parmesan chees ontop. Add some oreganum ontop of the pizza.

Step 8.
Put the pizza into the oven and bake for 15 minutes or until the crust is golden brown.

This pizza was so good that I actually ate most of it before Rudi even came home.... Don't worry he has his own waiting for him for when he comes home in a few minutes. Hope you enjoy it!
