Hi from a newbie

[Guest guest]

Hello all,

 

My name is Sue and I live in the north of England. I have 2 daughters (both

vegetarians) and a husband (not a vegetarian).

 

 

I enjoy cooking simple one pot meals, whereas my husband can use every pot in

the house for a meal! I have a whole repertoire of quick meals up my sleeve :-)

 

My traditional recipe that I share with everyone is pizza dough.

 

Pizza Dough

1 and a half cups flour (your choice)

1/2 tablespoon baking powder

1 tsp salt

1 tsp honey (or maple syrup if you are vegan)

2 tablespoons oil

1 cup warm water

 

mix all the dry ingredients together and make a hole in the middle. Then add

the wet ones, however, only add half the water at first. Mix or knead together.

Add the rest of the water, if necessary - sometimes I need the whole cup

sometimes I don't.

 

Put oil on your hands and oil your pan, then spread the dough out evenly. Top

with your favourite toppings.

 

If you use gluten free flour for this, such as brown rice flour, then you will

need to add some xanthan gum, which does the job of gluten, but is gluten free

(bind and rise). I have never used gluten free flour for this, but I am pretty

sure it would work with the xanthan gum. Probably you'd need about 3/4 of a

teaspoon.

Hi Sue,

 

Welcome to the group! I've always wanted to make my own pizza... I'll be moving

out of my dorm in a few days into an apartment with a full kitchen and will have

an oven, so I will definitely try out this pizza dough recipe.

 

Thanks!
