I can’t think of one kid I know who doesn’t love Pizza, hot, cold, bought, home-made, they don’t seem to care as long as it’s Pizza!  The good news is that if you make it yourself and know the ingredients that have gone into making it,  choose healthy toppings, and don’t over-dose  on the cheese,  it’s not that unhealthy.  I also take the opportunity to sneak in some hidden veges (you can puree some into the sauce).

My kids love to find some cold pizza in their lunch boxes, and with the help of my trusty bread maker it doesn’t take me that long to make.  So, here is my bread maker recipe for Pizza Bases.  If you don’t have a bread maker, I have two other super-easy base recipes here and here.

Ingredients:

• 2 teaspoons Dried Granulated Yeast
• 3 cups Bread Flour
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 2 tablespoons Sugar
• 2 tablespoons Olive Oil
• 1 cup Water, plus
• 2 tablespoons Water

Directions:

Place all the above ingredients in the order listed into the bread machine.

Select the dough cycle and press start.

When the dough cycle is complete, take the dough out of the machine and divide into two equally-sized balls.

Lightly oil two pizza trays and roll out each ball of dough to fit each tray and form your pizza base.

Place in the oven  at 190C, until dough begins to turn a light golden colour.  You will notice that the dough puffs-up with pockets of steam, but this does not affect the end product.

When dough is golden, remove from the oven and flip the dough on the tray. Carefully pop any pockets of steam.  Remember the steam will be extremely hot.

You are going to cover the uncooked side of the base with your toppings.

Cover with the toppings of your choice and place back in the oven until done.
