Cook Time: 15 mins
Total Time: 25 mins
Cuisine: Italian
Serves: 2 pizzas
Ingredients
- 250g self-raising flour
- 150ml water
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- Tomato sauce, for topping
- Cheese, for topping
- Various toppings (e.g., vegetables, meats)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 220°C (428°F) to ensure it is hot enough for baking the pizzas.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine 250g of self-raising flour and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Mix well to distribute the salt evenly throughout the flour.
- Gradually add 150ml of water to the flour mixture, stirring with a fork or your hands until a dough begins to form. You may not need all the water, so add it slowly until the dough is soft but not sticky.
- Once the dough has come together, transfer it to a lightly floured surface. Knead the dough gently for about 2-3 minutes until it is smooth and elastic.
- Divide the dough into two equal portions. Roll out each portion into a round shape, about 10-12 inches in diameter, using a rolling pin or your hands. Aim for a thickness of about
- 5cm.
- Place the rolled-out dough onto a baking tray lined with parchment paper or a lightly greased pizza stone.
- Spread a generous layer of tomato sauce over each pizza base, leaving a small border around the edges for the crust.
- Sprinkle a good amount of cheese over the tomato sauce, ensuring even coverage.
- Add your choice of various toppings on top of the cheese. You can use vegetables like bell peppers, onions, mushrooms, or meats such as pepperoni or cooked chicken. Get creative!
- Carefully place the baking tray in the preheated oven and bake the pizzas for about 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbling.
- Once cooked, remove the pizzas from the oven and let them cool for a minute before slicing.
- Serve hot and enjoy your delicious homemade no yeast pizzas!
Tips
- Preheat Your Oven: Make sure to preheat your oven to 220°C (428°F) before you start preparing the dough. A hot oven is key to achieving that perfect crispy crust!
- Flour Measurement: When measuring your self-raising flour, be sure to spoon it into the measuring cup and level it off for accuracy. This will help you get the right dough consistency.
- Water Addition: Add the water gradually to the flour mixture. Depending on your flour's absorption, you might not need all 150ml. Aim for a soft, non-sticky dough.
- Kneading: Knead the dough gently for just a few minutes. Over-kneading can lead to a tough crust, so keep it light and brief.
- Topping Choices: Get creative with your toppings! Feel free to mix and match your favorite ingredients, whether it’s fresh vegetables, savory meats, or even unique sauces.
- Baking Surface: For an extra crispy base, consider using a pizza stone if you have one. Alternatively, parchment paper on a baking tray works just fine.
- Keep an Eye on the Oven: Ovens can vary, so keep an eye on your pizzas as they bake. Look for a golden crust and bubbling cheese to know they're ready.
- Let It Cool: Allow the pizzas to cool for a minute before slicing. This helps the cheese set slightly, making it easier to cut and serve. Enjoy your pizza-making adventure and savor every delicious bite!
