This is a quick pizza for those of us who don't have room for a pizza machine, or they can be a sort of last minute idea as there is no waiting for dough to rise. Sorry no photos as camera is out of action
Pan Pizzas
Serves 2 to four.
Ingredients
230 gr Self raising flour
½ teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon dried oregano
2 tablespoons of EVOO
150 – 200 mls water
Toppings
Caramelised onions or tomato paste, I've even used pasta sauce at times
Sliced tomatoes
½ cup Grated cheese
Basil or Spinach or Rocket
Method
Place flour salt and Oregano into a clean TMX jug
And mix on speed 6 for 6 seconds.
Set the dial to speed 4 and add the olive oil through the lid then add water slowly until a dough has formed.
Set the dial to knead for approx. 30 seconds
Put dough onto silicone mat or floured board and bring all together by hand.
Divide in half and roll each piece out to 20 to 22 cm or to fit your frying pan.
Heat 1 tablespoon of EVOO in frying pan on low heat, make sure oil covers the pan. Place 1 pizza base in pan and cook for 5 minutes or until pizza is golden.
Remove pizza and add 1 tablespoon of EVOO to pan turn over and cook the other side until golden.
Top pizza with caramelised onion and ¼ cup grated cheese, place under grill until cheese is melted 2 – 3 minutes. Top with sliced tomato and a sprinkle of chopped black olives. Season with salt and pepper, scatter with basil/rocket/spinach and a little EVOO.
Can be placed in a warm oven while making the next.
These go really well with any sort of tomato soup or can be made just for lunch with salad.
My favourite is topped with torn basil leaves.
