Home made pizza!

For something different, I thought I would try creating my first ever pizza from scratch, making the dough completely by hand.

The dough was so simple, using only 4 ingredients; '00' grade flour, yeast, salt and warm water.

After making the dough came the hardest part; rolling it out. As you can see by the shape of this pizza, I wasnt exactly very skilled at it.

I tried rolling up some of the edges in an attempt to make a crust, however as I found out after it had cooked it is better to leave them flat. 

Now comes the best part; choosing the toppings! Here I have used chicken, cherry tomatoes, spinach and red onion.

The cooking time for this particular dough recipe was only 5 minutes, enough time for everything to crisp up.

The parts where I did not fold up the edges actually puffed up, and turned out better than the parts where I had attempted to make a crust. 

This pizza was actually perfect. The temptation to buy take-away pizza is there due to its convenience, however by making your own you know exactly what goes into it, and you get the satisfaction of knowing you made something delicious. 

I didnt expect it to taste this good, so I will definitely be making this again, hopefully I can get the shape right next time!
