Hey hey guys,
Last night I tried out Jamie Oliver’s recipe for a deep pan pizza. It’s super easy! I did tweak it a little. You can add any topping to it. The variations are endless really.
The most important thing with this is that you have a pan that can also be used in an oven (so please no plastic handles). What I loved about this.. not many dishes to wash up. I used the pan to cook the topping and baked the pizza in the same pan.
Topping:
- 1 onion, sliced
- 3-4 sausages
- pepperdews
- thyme (rosemary works well too)
- salt to taste
- black pepper
- chilli flakes
- oil
- cheese of your choice
Base:
- 2 cups of self-raising flour (have a little extra on the side for the doughy sticky hands)
- 3⁄4 cup water (can add a little more if the dough is not coming together)
- salt
Method:
- Add some oil in a non-stick pan (a pan with a metal handle). Once hot, add the sausage and thyme
2. When the meat balls have a lit, add the onions, pepperdews and all the seasonings.
3. Once the onions have caramalised, remove the topping from the pan.
4. Time to make the base. Mix everything in a bowl to form a soft springy dough. The dough should not be sticky
5. Add some spray and cook or oil to the pan just so the dough does not stick to it.
6. Mould the dough in the pan, forming a high outer and flatish center.
7. Add the topping, close the lid and cook on the stove on a medium heat for about 5-8 mins (until the crust is slightly crunchy
8. Remove the lid, add the cheese and put into the 180 °C oven. Bake for 15-20 mins, until the crust is a golden brown.
(You will notice I only added cheese to half the pizza, it’s because I am lactose intolerant)
Pizza topping variations:
- butternut, goats cheese/Gorgonzola and caramalised onion, garnish with rocket (my personal fav)
- tomato pizza sauce, mozzarella, basil
- bacon, avo
- blue cheese, fig, crushed walnuts, caramalised onion
- chicken, mushroom, pesto
Enjoy, please post pics.
