Loving right now : homemade pizza bread

July 4, 2012 By Kerry Cooks 12 Comments

This bread is pizza, deconstructed. It makes a fantastic side dish with a pasta or salad based main meal or something to impress with at a dinner party or bbq. It’s also kind of the entry route into bread making – its super easy, I promise, and endlessly customisable too!

Here’s what you need –

  • 500g/4.5 cups strong white flour
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 sachet fast action dried yeast
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 275ml hand hot water

For the topping

  • 200g cherry tomatoes
  • a few sprigs of rosemary
  • 1 ball mozzerella
  • 1 teaspoon salt flakes
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp garlic puree
  • half a medium red onion

I made the dough in my brand new Breville stand mixer which I got for my birthday. I am in love with this appliance! It makes baking so much easier! It is just like a Kitchenaid, except quite a bit cheaper (and amazingly, more powerful!). I used the dough hooks to combine the flour, yeast, sugar, salt, water and olive oil into a dough. Of course, you could also use a wooden spoon!

Knead your dough for a few minutes until its soft and springy and then leave it to rest in an oiled bowl, covered in clingfilm. Leave in a warm place for 45 minutes until doubled in size. Towards the end of the rising time, preheat your oven to gas mark 6/200C/400F.

Stretch out your dough on a greased baking tray (just sprinkle on a little flour and then smush the dough into the corner with your fingers) and then arrange your toppngs and press them into the dough. Apply a liberal sprinkling of olive oil, salt, pepper and rosemary and pop into the oven for 18-20 minutes.

Take it out of the oven once its golden brown and firm on top, and cut into wedges. Devour!

Some other flavour combo’s that I love are –

  • goats cheese, caramalised onion relish and thyme
  • buffalo mozerella, basil and tomato
  • feta cheese, olives and red onion

Yum! Enjoy!

    hi Kerry, just found this posting whilst browsing ….. I love pizza too. I wonder why your photos didn’t load?. Snyway, I am really interested in your Breville stand mixer …. Has it stood up to your baking ?. This is a 3 year old posting ….. Is it still going strong? Thought I would ask before buying one !!! If they are still around!

    Thank you as usual.

      Hey Maggie – I’m working on getting the pictures restored in some old posts – sorry about that! I actually had the breville until recently and it did last about 3 years which for Β£45 isn’t too bad – I now have a kitchenaid – see this post about it http://kerrycooks.com/kitchenaid-vs-budget-stand-mixer-review/

    I love pizza but try not to eat it. I was on a little binge not that long ago at a new place that opened down the block. They made Sicilian type slices with acres of arugula and grilled cherry tomatoes on top. Oh my.

    I’d like to make it myself same as my Grandad, the baker, who made it every Sunday, but you know Miss Kerry, I have a waistline to think about. How will I get into my size 4 little dresses? Will keep the recipe though. Nice post as usual.

      Thanks Lucy! Its pretty easy, even if you’re working/studying, as long as you get home around an hour before you want to eat so you have time for the dough to prove.
