This recipe includes an easy homemade pizza dough for the base but you could also substitute with a ready-made one.

Basic Pizza Dough

Ingredients

  • 2 tsp. (7g ) sachet dried yeast
  • 1 cup (250 ml) lukewarm water
  • 2 2/3 cups (400 g) plain flour, plus extra to dust
  • 2 tsp. salt
  • 3 tbsp. (¼ cup) olive oil


Method

  1. To make the dough, whisk yeast and water in a heatproof jug. Stand for 5 minutes or until frothy.
  2. Place flour and salt in a large bowl. Make a well in the centre. Pour in the yeast mixture and oil. Using your hands or a spatula, mix the dough until it comes together and is smooth. Turn out onto a lightly floured work surface and knead briefly.
  3. Place dough in a lightly oiled bowl and cover with cling wrap. Set aside in a warm place to rise for 30 minutes to an hour until it doubles in size.
  4. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently for another 5 minutes or until smooth. Divide dough in half, wrap one half in plastic wrap and freeze for another use. Roll out remaining dough half to create a 30 cm x 20 cm oval. Sprinkle a little flour on the bench before rolling to prevent dough from sticking. Transfer base to a baking paper lined tray.


Meat Lovers Topping

Ingredients

  • 1 cup (250 ml) pizza sauce
  • 1 2/3 cups (150 g ) Perfect Italiano™ Perfect Pizza cheese
  • Handful of thinly sliced red onion
  • A few thin slices ham, torn into pieces
  • A few thin slices of salami
  • 1 rasher of rindless bacon, cut into thin strips
  • Handful of ground beef


Method

  1. Preheat oven to 230°C / 210°C fan-forced.
  2. Spread pizza base with the pizza sauce. Scatter with a small handful of Perfect Pizza cheese. Top with onion, ham, salami, bacon and beef. Scatter over the remaining cheese.
  3. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until cheese is melted and golden and base is crisp.
