Default Re: Thin crust pizza - how to

Has made me want to build a pizza oven in the garden...maybe a project for the spring

Yes Mike...the beauty of this is that a 500g batch of dough will give you 6-8 pizzas depending on how big you have them or...do as I do and use half for pizza and half gets rubbed with oil and proven for an hour, knocked back, proven for another hour in a loaf tin and cooked.

I put dried oregano in the bread I made from the leftover of the above dough, proved it in the oven (put in cold oven, set to 50c, 5 mins later turn off oven and leave for an hour) only I left it all night as I was busy trying to upload these vids.
Came down in the morning, knocked it back a little, kneaded a bit and proved again then baked.....was no different despite being left overnight and the oregano is lovely. Not so much that you could really taste it, but enought that it gave it a lovely aroma and earthiness.

Note: the only reason I used the oven to prove is because the rest of the house was freeeeeezing...lol
