Pizza

Step 1.  Locate your phone
Step 2.  Dial #11-11
Step 3.  Laugh!  I kid.

Anyone who knows me, knows I love pizza.

The Dough

  • Pre-heat oven at 450F.

This is a modified bannock bread recipe that was passed down to me by my mother, who learnt it from my Dad’s mother.  Probably the only family recipe I have.

  • 1 cup flour
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1-4 tbsp vegetable oil or margarine or butter or shortening or lard (greasy goodness)
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 water (add more if needed)

Mix the dry stuff first, add water and greasy goodness until it is dough-like. Spread on pan.

THE EASY WAY IS TO BUY THE DOUGH FROM YOUR STORE.
Easy/Lazy, whatever floats your boat mate.

The Stuff

  • Spread your choice of sauce with a tablespoon (tomato, BBQ, hot sauce, olive oil…eta).
  • Sprinkle your choice of cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, goat…eta.
  • Toss on your choice(s) of toppings (pepperoni, bacon, onion…eta) – LESS is better, more veggies equal soggy pizza.
    • I’m a fan of pre-cooking toppings as I find this is the best way to get crispy anything on a pizza.

Cook for approx. 15 minutes or until crust is golden brown.  Let rest 5 minutes before cutting.
