Pizza machine Recipes for Bases (as opposed to toppings)

[achookwoman]

Sour Dough takes 6/7 mins.  To cook and is more like Turkish bread.  This was good in this case as topping was Middle Eastern.  I added oil and Yoghurt to mix.

200g active Sour Dough Starter
500 bread flour
1 teaspoon each,  salt and sugar.
1 generous Tablespoon of plain yoghurt
2 Tablespoons of EVOO
Enough warm water to make a soft dough.
Knead all for 4 mins.
Rise to double.

This makes 6 med/ large bases or 8 small.

Sounds wonderful Chookie. Now I'm home, I'll get my starter going. Thank you so much for sending it.

Has anyone made the 2 ingredient pizza base? This was on Pinterest.

Sounds quite interesting. Original recipe is here. It looks like it should be 1 cup SR to 1/2 cup greek yoghurt.

It sounds interesting MJ but seems to have had mixed success.  With the TMX to do the kneading though, perhaps it would work for our bases if someone is game to try it. As the recipe is for one base only, not a lot of damage would be done if it wasn't what we wanted.

I did quite some time ago.  From memory, I don't think I was thrilled with it

That's good enough for me then maddy    If they got the nod of approval from you, we would all be making them.

I have used this recipe forever no idea where it came from but its about 20 years since I got it

1 cup warm water
add 1 teasppon of honey and stir
add 1 teaspoon of dried yeast and leave for about 10 minutes till frothy

put 400g plain flour in the TM ( I use Wallabys )
add about a tablesppon of olive oil
add water/yeast mixture

use  for 1.5 minutes

Turn out and shape into balls and roll out can be used straight away or left for a few minutes to kind of "soften" up.
I only get 2 from this but we like thick crusts, I also use this for calzones ( also freezes )
If I am making alot of pizzas I do two or three seperate water yeast mixtures going then mix them one after the other.

I've been using the pizza base recipe  in Theo's book. He recommends not letting it rise for any length of time, just a 15-20 minute resting time before you roll it out.

The thin and Crispy base is the one I love.  I just double it and place everything in bowl and knead for 2 mins. I use 3 heaped teaspoons of dried yeast to the double mixture.  This makes 6 medium sized bases. DH and I share 1 pizza.

I found the dough a bit sticky  . I did add extra flour which helped....anyone else have that problem?  Next time I will use a little less water I think.
Made into 4 smaller sized bases and docked the dough before cooking.

I just saw this today.  Making of pizza bases which I would wish to aspire to ... but never will!

not I....it doesn't love me much!
That base looked a tad too burnt brown don't you think? 

[judydawn]

Have you tried it maddy?  That one does look a bit overcooked but there are other pictures on the net which look better.

[maddy]

no Judy, I can't eat cauliflower.

[Yvette]

I cooked the cauliflower rice once and after a few mouthfuls yucko so I don't think as a pizza base it would be nice
