Pizza Blanco- Lunch for Two
Today I cooked lunch from the pantry and fridge.
Pizza, Yes I think so?
No canned tomatoes, but I did have sour cream
Pizza Blanco...
Some garlic, chili, mushrooms, spinach and cheese
Yum
First I made my pizza dough
A really simple recipe
1 cup flour
1 tsp table salt
1 pkt dry yeast
1 tsp sugar
1 tablespoon olive oil
100 mls hand hot water
A little extra water in case the dough is too dry
Dissolve the sugar in the water
Add oil and yeast
Stir and leave for the yeast to work
It will froth up
Takes about 5 minutes
Meanwhile put the flour and the salt in the food processor
Whiz to aerate
Add the yeast mixture
Whiz again
Watch the dough come into a ball and leave the sides of the bowl
You may need to add a little more water
Tablespoon at a time
Whiz for 1 minute
Let rest for 5 minutes
Onto the bench and knead using the stretch and roll method
Turn into a ball and leave to rise in an oiled bowl
Cover with a tea towel or some plastic wrap
When it has doubled in size
Turn onto floured bench
Knead again for a minute or two
Roll out into a small disc
Leave on the bench lightly covered for another 5 minutes, for it to relax
This makes it easier to roll out
Heat the oven to 220C
Line your lightly greased Pizza tin
Prepare your toppings
70 gms Sour cream
Pinch chili flakes
2 cloves garlic peeled and chopped
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
Mix together
About 10 mushrooms finely sliced
Big handful of spinach
50 gms grated cheddar cheese
A little grated Parmesan
Spread the dough with the sour cream mix
Pile spinach and mushrooms on top
Season with Salt and pepper
Cover with cheddar cheese and grate a little Parmesan on top
Drizzle with olive oil
It should take about 10 minutes to cook
Yum
