Pizza Night!

We've still got tomatoes in the greenhouse and they are the redest, sweetest tomatoes ever. But they weren't going to last for ever so we thought, why not have some home made pizza.
I made some dough in the breadmaker. I couldn't find my wee recipe book, so I went online and found one that I hadn't used before.
It was lovely and had a great flavour, so here it is.

Pizza dough recipe

2 teaspoons dried granulated yeast
3 cups bread flour
1 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 cup water, plus
2 tablespoons water

Once the dough has been made leave it for around half an hour in a well oiled bowl, then you can roll it out. This made 4 very, very thin based pizzas.

I had to adapt it a bit as it was too solid, so I actually added about another tablespoon of oil and same again of water. This loosened it up a lot. It was still thicker than the usual dough I make, but it actually rolled out a lot better, so I think I'll use this one again. ( but another reason it may have been more solid is that I think my yeast was dead!) 

Lovely tomatoes and some basil. (in one of my bowls!)

 We have very basic pizzas in our house. So all we put on them is some cooked down, home made passata, some home made feta ( or mozzarella) some tomatoes and some basil. And that's it.

We didn't light the pizza oven this time, we just used our oven in the house with the pizza stone, and apart from some pretty terrible sliding of pizza by me, they were perfect!!

 And yesterday was mother's day. I am a doggy mum, so to celebrate this fact we had lovely crepes for breakfast. Yum.

Here's the very simple batter recipe for the crepes.
