I don't know if anyone has mentioned this before, but how do you thing Chookie's Savoury Flat Bread recipe would go as a base?

Not sure if anybody else does this but based on an idea I saw on The Fabulous Baker Brothers (UK programme currently on Lifestyle Food) I made a beautiful pizza today.  Make sure that about a quarter of the flour is wholemeal (they suggest spelt but I just used wholemeal plain flour) as this gives it a bit of 'bite'. Roll out the base and par cook it in the oven for about four or five mins, enough to make it very light brown in colour. Then add the toppings and carry on as normal. This ensures the crust does not go soggy with the sauces and cheese. My pizza this afternoon using this recipe was lovely. I haven't done it yet but I assume you could freeze the bases at the end of the par cooked stage. Mine was actually made from a Dough I'd frozen previous.

I read this last week in a magazine & it seemed like a great idea.

Yep, neighbour pronounced this base as the best he has ever tasted. This is coming from a man who coddles and keeps his pizza dough warm like a baby. He hated to admit it, but cos he had a few under his belt he did. Went home and got his family and couldn't believe that I'd whipped up more dough cos his likes to be snug for a while in the cupboard.

So...65g spelt flour + 195g bakers flour in future. Thanks brumington  :-*

So glad it worked for you too. It's beautiful isn't it? I'll be sticking to this method from now on.

My pizzas.... :)

Bacon, cheese and pinapple.
Salmon, corn, tomato, cheese and mushrooms.

This is such an easy dough! And it was ready in next to no time at all ;D
I think I do need to buy either a pizza stone or a pizza machine though, because my base was still a bit soft in the middle of the pizza and not very brown on the bottom. I did preheat my oven trays too.

But the pizza was still great ;D

How do you tend to par cook the base? Tinfoil with rice on top? Otherwise I imagine it might get a little air bubbly.

Prick the base, add your pizza sauce, then toppings. Don't need to parbake the crust at all. The stone does tend to give a crispier crust. Some tips I learnt is don't spread the pizza sauce all the way to the edge, make sure it's evenly spread, just put cheese around the outside and barely any cheese in the middle. Use one of those rocking pizza cutters as it doesn't drag the toppings.
