Had a day off today and spent it with my baby, we went shopping... Oh yes I brought shoes! Oh and when I say shoes I don't mean flashy expensive stilettos I mean chunky soled black leather sandals. I'm not a stiletto gal!
Came home and made pizza dough ready for later, there is a recipe I love from ainsley harriets 'friends and family' cook book that is really simple to make but needs to rise for an hour.
My kids love watching the dough magically form... Or in Florence's case, stare at her reflection in the mixer bowl!
After an hour it's all ready to go.
While it's rising I make the tomato sauce ready for the base, I make a simple one, cook garlic in olive oil, add chopped tomatoes and simmer, then add chopped basil. Finally blend until smooth. Then roll out your dough and smooth the sauce on.
This is the bit the kids love. I chop all toppings up beforehand then let the kids just add what they want on. It's then 10 - 15 minutes in oven.
Lovely yummy irregular pizza!
As I said you need about 1.5 hrs so not a quick one but good for getting kids involved and an hour of it you can get on with something else, so a good Saturday meal.
