Pizza!

Yesterday, we felt like ordering a pizza. Instead we chose to make it a bit healthier by baking it at home. I thought it would be great to share the recipe with you! It turned out to be near-perfect (the dough was a bit on the thicker side). Had we rolled it a bit thinner, it would have been perfect. So, this is how it looked:

So, lets go over the ingredients:

2 cups flour

1 egg (You can omit if you want to)

1 tsp sugar

1/2 tsp salt

1.5 tsp instant yeast 

1.5 tbsp milk powder

3 tbsp oil

Mozzerella cheese/cheddar cheese

Toppings (Chicken, pepperoni, vegetables)

Pizza or tomato sauce

Method:

1. Preheat the oven to 200 degrees Celcius.

2. Mix all the ingredients into dough. (except for cheese, toppings and sauce),

3. Knead and put into a bowl.

4. Cover with Plastic wrap or cling film (no foil), and let sit for 2 hours in a warm place.

5. After 2 hours, take out and knead again.

6. Roll until thin. The thickness depends on individual choice. I prefer thinner side. 

7. Spread pizza sauce, and add toppings. We made a mistake by adding the toppings before cheese, so add the cheese before the toppings to give a more pleasing look.

8.Bake at 200 degrees celcius for 10 mins.

Enjoy a healthier pizza.
