Family Pizza’s

pizzaPizza’s in all shapes and sizes and the best bit, you get to choose the topping. Basically pizzas’s can be so much fun to make and the children will love it if you involve them too. I have to say if you involve them in the cooking you will have no problem with them eating. There is something special about eating something you have made yourself. I am sure most of you will of had your children or a niece or nephew come home with their first cooking experiments from school; and then they stand there in front of you in anticipation, while they wait for you to taste their handy work. I know also that no matter how bad it tastes, you smile and eat it all up and congratulate them.

Well, lets get involved together and have fun with making homemade pizzas. There are lots of pizza gadgets available now. All to help you prepare pizza’s at home in your own kitchen, so take a look here, pizza cooking items

Pizza stones are a must to get the right texture on your pizza base so make sure you pick one of them up as you will use it over and over again.

My daughters favourite would have to be homemade sun blush tomatoes, mozzarella and parma ham pizza.

You will need:
200g self-raising flour
2 tbsp olive oil
salt and freshly ground black pepper
splash water
6 sun-blushed tomatoes
2 slices parma ham
4 slices buffalo mozzarella

To make:
For the pizza bases, place the flour into a large bowl with half of the olive oil. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper and add enough water to form a dough.
Divide the dough into two balls then roll out on a floured surface to make two pizza bases.
Heat the remaining oil in a frying pan, add the pizza bases one at a time and fry for 8-10 minutes on both sides, or until lightly browned. Remove each base from the frying pan and place onto a baking sheet or pizza stone.
Preheat the grill to medium. Place the sun-blushed tomatoes, parma ham and mozzarella slices on top of the pizza bases. Place under the grill for 6-8 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbling. Then serve.
