Pizza fail!

When something seems too good to be true, it generally is. When I came across an extremely easy sounding pizza base recipe (with no yeast needed) with great reviews on the best recipes website, I was sceptical. But also, curious. And since it was the weekend, I hadn't baked anything yet, and it was dinner time, I thought I'd give it a try. 

Ingredients:

• 1 3/4 cups self raising flour
• 1/2 cup cheese
• 1/4 cup vegetable oil
• 2/3 cup boiling water

Method:

Preheat the oven to 210 degrees C.

Add the flour and cheese to a mixing bowl and stir to combine. Make a well in the centre and add the oil and water, and knead mixture until it forms a dough. Cover with glad wrap and set aside for 10 minutes.

After reading the reviews and comments on the best recipes website, I rolled the pizza base out and pre baked it for about 12 minutes before adding the toppings.

I didn't have a rolling pin so I used a bottle of wine....worked pretty well.

I added all my husbands favourite pizza toppings - baby spinach, ham and salami, and popped it back in the oven for another 10-12 minutes.

This makes enough for two pizzas - I'm glad I halved the recipe! I bet my husband is glad too :)


I didn't try it, so I don't know what it tasted like. My husband said the first half tasted good, but it was hard to eat the whole thing. 


My brother makes his own pizza bases all the time (using yeast). Maybe I should try his recipe!
