| Pizzas are delicious and surprisingly easy to make. It is much more satisfying to make your own pizza rather than calling out for one (and paying a fortune for a stodgy, tepid pizza made with the cheapest ingredients possible). Pizzas cost a few pennies to make (perhaps up to 50p if you use expensive toppings). Want to know how to make your own? Read on. | |

A couple of mugfuls of plain flour, a pinch of salt, a few spoons of wholemeal flour, and a generous dribble of olive oil are the basics. As you may have noticed, I am not a fan of exact recipes. Add them all to a mixing bowl. |

If you can, buy some fresh yeast, if you can't, make up some dried yeast. Add some tepid water and a teaspoonful of sugar. Once it has dissolved, add it to the mixing bowl. If you have plenty of fresh yeast, break it up into small pieces and put it on a small tray in the freezer. Next time you need some, just add a little tepid water and the yeast will be ready to start work. |
