the best pizza recipe yet!

i got this recipe from the down to earth community forums and i have to say, its the best home made pizza i have ever made!

here is the recipe:

1 cup of luke warm water

1 sachet of fast-acting dried yeast

1 tbsp sugar

1 tbsp veg oil

mix altogether and leave for 10 mins for the yeast to start working. it will go all frothy.

then add 3 cups of strong bread flour

1 tsp salt

1 tsp baking powder

and mix into a soft dough. roll out into 2 12" circles, or 6 smaller ones, and leave to rest on a greased baking tray.

in a pan, mix a tin of tomatoes with a chopped onion, a tbsp of garlic puree and a tbsp of tomato puree. add some oregano if you have any. cook for 5 mins then puree into a smooth paste, and coat the tops of your pizzas with it.

then add whatever topping you like - cooked chicken, peppers, tuna, sweetcorn, pepperoni, ham, herbs etc.

grate some cheese over the top and pop in oven at 180'c for about 10 mins or until nicely browned.

i usually make the pizzas up in the morning and leave them to rest until teatime, and this seems to make the dough very soft and springy and it has been a complete success - even the children all wolfed it down! and its certainly a healthier version than the frozen ones we have bought in the past.
