mmm, Pizza

In the absence of anything quilty to blog, I thought I would share with you my favourite new dinner. I hardly ever make my own pizza dough because I can't be bothered with the whole yeast thing, but the other week I found this recipe and we have now had healthy, homemade, tasty pizza four times! Ok, so we went a little overboard. This recipe is so easy, my 12 year old now makes the dough for me.

Pizza Dough with No Yeast:

1 3/4 cups self raising flour

1/2 cup Parmesan cheese

1/4 cup vegetable oil (I have been using olive oil because I prefer the taste)

2/3 cup boiling water

Mix the cheese and flour together in a bowl and make a well in the centre. Stir in the oil and water until just mixed. Knead very lightly and wrap in plastic wrap and set aside while you make the toppings.

Remove from plastic wrap, knead again lightly and roll out as thin or as thick as you like. This dough is a little more bread like than normal pizza dough, so I like it quite thin so it goes crispy.

Bake on a pizza stone or oven tray in a 210c oven until crispy.

This is so tasty and quick I can't tell you. I don't have a pic because we ate it too fast, but I made one for lunch for my stitchy friends on Monday with roasted pumpkin, parmesan cheese, toasted pine nuts and fetta cheese. When I got it out of the oven I topped it with some rocket, and it was Yum-my.

Go forth and make pizza :)

Thanks! Homemade pizza here isn't very good -- I also don't like messing around with the yeast and the prepared, roll-out dough is heavy and well, dough-like. I'll try this for sure.

And very tasty it was, too!

I'll vouch for this being a great recipe. We're hooked on it. And We don't have to plan a day in advance to enjoy it. Yum yum yum.

Thanks for the recipe - rocket? what is that?
The toasted pumpkin and feta combo sounds delicious -

This sounds delish....I'm going to try it. the toppings you used are intriguing but I have to confess to not knowing what rocket is. Is that an Australian yummy?

[DianeY]

You have me curious - what is rocket? (At least I know what vegemite is!)

[Mick Reade]

For those who aren't sure what rocket is, it's actually a kind of lettuce. Some countries also call it arugula :)
