INGREDIENTS:
The ingredients here are for 4 thin based medium pizzas OR 2 large thin based pizzas. If you want more or thicker pizzas, please add accordingly to the "dough" ingredients below (there is enough "base sauce" ingredients here for an additional 2 med or 1 large pizza). 

Please make sure to wash all vegetables/fruit in advance of the session. You don't have to weigh anything out, just make sure you have all your ingredients ready to hand
​ 

​For the dough: 
  • 500g strong white bread flour OR 400g bread flour plus 100g fine semolina (not essential, gives pizza base extra crunch and texture)
  • 1 x 7g sachet of dried instant active/easy bake/fast action yeast (the kind you can just add to the flour directly)
  • 1.5 tbs caster sugar
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • Olive oil (regular is fine, doesn't have to be extra virgin)
  • 300ml water @ approx 40 degrees celcius (we will get the heat right during the class)

For the base sauce: ​
  • 1 white onion
  • 1-2 clove garlic
  • 1 stick celery (optional but good)
  • 2 x 400g tin chopped peeled tomatoes
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • Salt & pepper
  • Fresh basil 

For the toppings:
These are up to you as everyone likes different toppings on their pizza - buy whatever you (and your family/partner/friend) are going to enjoy. Here are some ideas:
  • Mozzarella cheese - approx 75g per pizza but depends on how much you like - can be ready grated or balls that you slice/cube
  • Other cheese- Cheddar, parmesan, feta, goats, blue, brie or any others - if using, reduce your mozzarella amount
  • Vegetables/Fruit (pls wash in advance) - mushrooms, peppers, courgettes, aubergine, artichokes, olives, avocado, sweetcorn, pineapple, red onions, Jalapeno peppers
