Parmesan Thin Crust Pizza Dough Recipe

Hope you enjoy this great recipe from one of my good friends! He’s a great cook and this recipe adds a tasty twist to a family favourite!

He uses a fancy bread-making machine and pizza stone, but you can just as easily use the ordinary kitchen benchtop kneading method.

It’s great to get the kids to help!

Dough-tastic!

Dough-tastic!

Makes 1 large pizza.

Ingredients:

2/3 cup of warm water

2 cups flour

1/2 cup freshly grated parmesan

1 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil

1/3 tsp salt

2 tsps yeast (active)

Directions:

Add all the ingredients in the bowl of a bread-making machine (or just knead together!)

Mix according to the machine’s instructions for a dough setting or get your knuckles into it! (Now is the time to get your little chefs helping!)

In the meantime, preheat your oven to 230 C (450 F) for 30 mins

Prepare your most loved toppings!

When the bread machine (or kneading!) is done, take out the dough and put on a lightly oiled surface.

Then knead the dough several times and make the dough into an oval.

Place a clean tea-towel over it and let rest for 10 mins.

Roll and stretch the dough into a couple of circles.

Place the dough on the prepared (lightly oiled) metal pizza trays – you can get pizza trays here.

Brush the dough with some olive oil and layer on your fave ingredients!

Bake for approx 15 mins or until brown on the bottom and the top is bubbling.

Too easy and tasty cheesy!

    100 gm semolina
    2 tsp dry yeast (or 2 sachets)
    Pinch of sea salt
    Mix together
    Put 1 tbsp olive oli in 3/4 cup of warm (not hot) water
    Mix into dry ingredients
    Add more water as needed, mix should be quite wet
    Turn onto semolina floured board and knead

    Form into ball, rub oil all over and put in a bowll. Cover and leave to double

    Turn out onto semolina floured board and knead slightly – and cut into 4 pieces.
    Can keep in fridge in gladwrap for several days (but we never resist it that long!)
    Roll out quite thin when using….

    Just about to tuck into a fresh pizza for lunch – artichoke, sundried tomato and fresh tomato with mozzarella….yum!
