Baked my first pizza to this recipe tonight – came out really well the overnight rest makes the dough beautifully stretchy, and I managed to get a proper super thin crust without the holes that happen when I try to stretch my regular dough. Was cooking Sunday dinner for friends, so I tried for a roast-themed pizza: chicken, stuffing balls, roast peppers (and a pepperoni one on case that went wrong )

Ta for the recipe

Thanks again for hosting Lauren. Yours looks much healthier than mine. I just load mine up with bacon! .-= claire's last blog ..Birthday Giveaway =-.

Thanks for hosting! I sometimes make pizza but never bother resting the dough. I think that stage made it lighter and crispier. I enjoyed it, even though yours is far more healthy than mine was: I couldn't keep away from adding chorizo! .-= Merlotti's last blog ..Pizza Napoletana – May’s Fresh from the Oven Challenge. =-.

Hey Andy I just use tesco ball stuff too, I drain it quite a bit before putting it on the pizza – although I don’t know if that actually helps much! You really should give the pizza a shot though, it’s really good, although a bit hard to move around as it is so thin…

That’s a cool pizza base recipe – I’ve been refining my pizza technique over the last couple of months, but for the base I’ve just been using the basic bread recipe off the back of my Tesco yeast packet (with less salt and with added olive oil and honey). Gotta try this one next time and see if I can stop all my thin crust pizzas turning themselves into deep pan once they hit the oven

Incidentally, what type of mozzarella are you using? I’ve been using Tesco ball mozzarella, which is tasty but I find creates a small sea of brine in the middle of the pizza.
