Home Made Pizza - Capricciosa

Home Made Pizza - Capricciosa

Ingredients:

Pizza dough home made i use Lighthouse brand (as per pack instructions)

Leggos Tomato paste or any pizza base tomato sauce 

To make your dough do as per the pack and half the ingredients for two people as they make quite a large pizza.  Make sure when mixing the dough you dont over do the water (or add more flour) and let it sit for around 3 hours in a bowl covered with gladwrap or a teatowel.  When ready roll out with some flour on board and make a nice flat pizza rotating the dough around and around and keep flouring board if its too damp.  Use a proper pizza tray from the supermarket or wherever you can get one.   I use only a flat tablespoon of tomato sauce.

Cook this with the tomato base sauce on it for ten minutes at 200 degrees celcius  (while preparing your toppings) and then take pizza out and place on top of a board for toppings.

Toppings:

Garlic if you like a few small pieces finely chopped (as per your liking on the tomato base)

Onion finely chopped small one

Pancetta or bacon 3 pieces cut roughly

Mushrooms 1 punnet of cut up buttons

Mozzarella cheese 2 cups for 2 pizzas roughly (depends on how much cheese you like)

Black olives pitted one small bottle drained

Italian herbs (oregano and basil )

Salt and pepper

Small drizzle of olive oil

Anchovies if you like them (i didn't add them to mine)

Arrangement of toppings:

First place the mozzarella on the base sauce and spread evenly then add your herbs (shake around evenly finely).  Then i add the pancetta, garlic, onion, mushrooms, olives, a shake of salt and pepper and olive oil and if you like anchovies on top. I like a little more herbs on top too.

Bake your pizza at around 200 degrees celcius for around 20 minutes or check around 15 minutes to move tray around for even browning.  Cook a little longer if its still not brown enough.

Serve with a nice bottle of Merlot Red Wine :)
