Homemade pizza tonight, green salad.

Delicious pizza, not cooked by me; green salad which I thought I'd liven up with soy sauce and balsamic vinegar. But; a bit too much soy sauce, too salty.

The gaps in this blog are either we've been away, or, more commonly where we've not felt like cooking and have cobbled together leftovers or something from the freezer. Even so, very little of our food is bought in ready prepared.

Pizza -olive oil yeasted dough- G's recipe which he's been making for years. It makes a lovely crisp, tender dough.

Dough

400g white flour

260-270mls liquid, say 100mls olive oil and hot but not boiling water

10mls dried yeast (Quick yeast) added to liquid

5mls salt

Mix salt and flour in pottery bowl. Add yeasty liquid and stir. Mix with spoon and then hands until homogenous. Knead it for a minute or two. Let rise in bowl until about doubled.(may need gentle warmth in winter.) Once risen split in half, roll out and use to line 2x32cm pizza tins. You can then put on your chosen topping. Bake in preheated oven at 180C for about 30 minutes.
