£1.00 Homemade Pizza | Budget-Friendly Recipes
Ingredients
Pizza Dough (Makes 4 Bases)
500g x Bread Flour (Extra For Dusting)
7g x Fast Action Yeast
5g x Salt
325ml x Tepid Water
Pizza Sauce
Makes 2 Pizzas
150g x Tomato Passata
1tsp x Dried Oregano
Pinch of Salt and Black Pepper
1 Garlic Clove (minced)
Topping
1 x Mozzarella Ball
Basil Leaves (optional)
Method
1. To make the dough, place the yeast into the tepid water, stir, and leave for 5 minutes to foam up. Place the flour and salt into a bowl, mix, and make a well in the centre.
2. Pour the yeast mixture into the flour and mix to form a dough. Turn out onto a lightly floured work surface and knead the dough until it’s smooth and stretchy. This will take 5 to 10 minutes. Roll into a ball and cut into 4 equal portions. Roll each portion into a ball.
3. At this stage you can freeze the dough in freezer bags, I'm freezing two today and making two. Or place into the fridge (covered) overnight for a slow prove. If using straight away cover with a damp cloth and leave for 1 to 2 hours.
4. To make the sauce, add all ingredients into a bowl and stir together. Taste to check the seasoning, add more salt and pepper if needed, and if the tomatoes are a little acidic add in a sprinkle of sugar to balance it out.
5. Preheat the oven to its hottest setting with the trays you intend to bake the pizzas on as well for at least 20 minutes before cooking.
6. To stretch the pizza base, place the dough ball onto a floured workbench and press out from the centre to create a saucer, flip it over and do the same again. Then, pick out the dough and gently stretch it out using your knuckles (See video for reference). Place the pizza bases onto parchment paper before topping.
7. Share the pizza sauce over the pizza bases and spread it out using the back of a ladle or spoon. Tear over fresh mozzarella and any other additional toppings before Cooking.
8. Slide the pizzas on the parchment paper onto the hot baking trays and bake until the crusts are golden brown and the mozzarella is beautifully melted. Finish with fresh basil leaves if using.
Enjoy!
