Hi guys. Michael Weldon here with another what’s for dinner and we’ve got a special one. I’ve got my mate Ryan here. And Ryan and I have been doing some cooking videos for the Stephanie Alexander Kitchen Garden Foundation to give oyu a bit of inspo to cook at home with kids haven’t we. Yeah!
But tonight we’re going to make pizza.
Now this recipe is the perfect recipe for kids to get in the kitchen and cook this week for Mothers Day.
To make our dough first of all 300g of bread flour. You grab that fork. We’re going to then add some yeast into our warm water. Delicately whisk it together. I’m going add a quick pinch of salt. A drizzle of olive oil. That’s Ryan’s mixing dance which I love. We’re going to leave that for two minutes. Just to let it bloom.
Quickly dice up and onion because we’re going to make a quick tomato sauce. And I’m just going to use 3 ingredients. 4 ingredients! Onion, tomato, olive oil and salt. So we want to chop our onion nice and fine. You want to chuck some olive oil in there? Once that oils hot we’re going to go in with our onion. You want to slowly stir that and we’ll just add a little pinch of salt to that as well to help them soften. We just add some passata or some tinned tomatoes.
Our yeast has activated now do you want to do your mix again? This time we’re going to mix the flour and the yeast together. That’s it!

So we’re just going to bring this together until it forms a little ball. We’re going to put that to one side for about 20 minutes. Look at that dough it’s started to double in size and puff up. We’re going to give that a kneed just to bring it all together.
So we’re going to put our dough into a tray. Wrap it in cling wrap. And we’re going to let that proof for about 2-3 hours. I made some ahead of time.
Now it’s time to make our pizza. Start at one end and just push around the outside. And then we transfer our pizza onto the paddle. What’s next? Sauce! Can you put that in the middle for me? One spoon right in the middle. Now this is the bbest thing about pizza right... it’s choose your own adventure.
I’m just going to go Margherita with Parmesan and Mozzarella. I Like Basil so I’m going to put more green stuff on mine.
Let’s go over to the oven. I’ll carry this you step down. Whoa! Ryan look at that! Pizza’s ready.
How does that smell? Pizzaaaaa.
And there we have it that is our recipe for Margherita Pizza. We made our own dough.
