Pizza perfection...

Being from an Italian background, I love my pizza and pasta...and tonight I tried my hand at making my own pizza dough!

The pizza dough recipe came from the Weight Watchers Takeaway at Homecookbook and then I added my own toppings...ham, mushroom and light mozzarella cheese.

The pizza was delicious and my kids loved it! It's definitely a winner and I know I'll be making these quite often. I found the dough to be quite crispy and my hubby...also known as the pizza maker extraordinaire...suggested that I add less oil next time round.

So here is my tweaked...

Pizza Base Recipe
ProPoints: 8
Serves: 4

Ingredients:
- 1 sachet dry yeast (7g)
- 1 tsp caster sugar

- 3/4 cup warm water
- 2 1/4 cup plain flour

- 1tsp salt

- 1tsp oil

Directions:

1. Place yeast, sugar and 3/4 cup warm water in a jug. Whisk until yeast has dissolved. Set aside in a warm place for 10 minutes or until frothy.
2. Sift flour into a large bowl. 
3. Add the flour, salt, yeast mixture and oil into a mixer fixed with a paddle hook. Mix until the dough forms, is smooth and comes away from the sides of the bowl. (Alternatively, place on a floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic.) 
4. Place in a large oiled bowl. Cover and set aside in a warm place for at least 1 hour or until doubled in size.
5. Top with your favourite toppings.
