Ingredients

  • 650 g italian ' 00 ' flour (strong white flour)
  • 7 g sachet easy-blend yeast
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 25 ml olive oil
  • 50 ml warm milk
  • 325 ml warm water

Method

  • Mix the flour, yeast and salt together in a large mixing bow.
  • Stir in the olive oil and warm milk.
  • Make sure that the millk is only warm, not hot or the yeast will be killed and the dough won't rise.
  • Gradually add the warm water, mixing well to form a soft dough.
  • On to a floured work surface, knead until smooth and elastic which is about 5 minutes.
  • Leave it to rise in a clean bowl until doubled in size, which is roughly 1 1/2 hours.
  • The website didn't say you had to precook the bases, but as mine was a bit thick, I did.
  • Neither did it specify an oven temperature or cook time so I put it in on a baking tray at about 200C and came back to check after 10 minutes.
  • *To my excess dough (didn't want 6 8 inch pizzas) I added chopped black olives, garlic and onion then made balls and twists.
  • These stayed fresh and were lovely with soup the next day.
