PIZZA DOUGH FOR ONE



Pizza dough for one image

A small batch pizza dough recipe to make one regular pizza (12 inches - 30 cm) for one person.

Provided by Eva | Electric Blue Food

Categories     Main Course

Time 1h10m

Number Of Ingredients 6

250 g flour
150 ml water (lukewarm)
5 g fresh yeast (see notes)
2 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp sugar

Steps:

  • Combine the fresh yeast and the sugar and stir with a teaspoon. The yeast will dissolve turning the mixture quite runny as you stir. Pour yeast mixture into the lukewarm water and stir to combine.
  • Add the water mixture to the flour and start stirring with a wooden spoon or rubber spatula. As the dough is starting to come together, add the salt and the olive oil, keep stirring until the water has been absorbed into the flour, then tip onto a slightly floured and knead for about 2 minutes.
  • Form the kneaded dough into a ball and place it back into the bowl. Cover with a towel or cling film and let rest for one hour at room temperature. After one hour, the dough will have grown. Take it out of the bowl, punch out the air and stretch it into a circle to make your pizza. Add your favourite toppings and bake!

QUICKIE PEPPERONI PIZZA FOR ONE



Quickie Pepperoni Pizza for One image

Another of my pizza-for-one recipes that come in so handy. I use turkey pepperoni, part-skim mozzarella and no-salt-added tomato sauce, but you don't have to if you don't want. When I make the sauce, I usually quadruple it and keep the leftover sauce in the refrigerator to be used in subsequent days.

Even a novice cook can master the art of pizza with our simple step-by-step guide. Bellissimo!

Provided by Good Food team

Categories     Buffet, Dinner, Main course, Snack, Supper

Time 35m

Yield Makes 2 pizzas, serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 11

300g strong bread flour
1 tsp instant yeast (from a sachet or a tub)
1 tsp salt
1 tbsp olive oil, plus extra for drizzling
100ml passata
handful fresh basil or 1 tsp dried
1 garlic clove, crushed
125g ball mozzarella, sliced
handful grated or shaved parmesan (or vegetarian alternative)
handful of cherry tomatoes, halved
handful of basil leaves (optional)

Steps:

  • Make the base: Put the flour into a large bowl, then stir in the yeast and salt. Make a well, pour in 200ml warm water and the olive oil and bring together with a wooden spoon until you have a soft, fairly wet dough. Turn onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 5 mins until smooth. Cover with a tea towel and set aside. You can leave the dough to rise if you like, but it's not essential for a thin crust.
  • Make the sauce: Mix the passata, basil and crushed garlic together, then season to taste. Leave to stand at room temperature while you get on with shaping the base.
  • Roll out the dough: if you've let the dough rise, give it a quick knead, then split into two balls. On a floured surface, roll out the dough into large rounds, about 25cm across, using a rolling pin. The dough needs to be very thin as it will rise in the oven. Lift the rounds onto two floured baking sheets.
  • Top and bake: heat the oven to 240C/220C fan/gas 8. Put another baking sheet or an upturned baking tray in the oven on the top shelf. Smooth sauce over bases with the back of a spoon. Scatter with cheese and tomatoes, drizzle with olive oil and season. Put one pizza, still on its baking sheet, on top of the preheated sheet or tray. Bake for 8-10 mins until crisp. Serve with a little more olive oil, and basil leaves if using. Repeat step for remaining pizza.

Pizza From Scratch In 20 Minutes Or Less Recipe by Tasty image

Here's what you need: self-raising flour, water, olive oil, pizza sauce, mozzarella cheese, pepperoni, dried oregano, chili flakes

Provided by Jordan Ballantine

Categories     Dinner

Time 30m

Yield 1 serving

Number Of Ingredients 8

¾ cup self-raising flour
¼ cup water
1 tablespoon olive oil, for frying
3 tablespoons pizza sauce
1 handful mozzarella cheese, grated
6 slices pepperoni
dried oregano
¼ teaspoon chili flakes

Steps:

  • Whizz together the flour and water in a food processor for a minute or so until it clumps together to form a single ball. You might need to add a little bit more water or flour to get the consistency right. (Dough should be soft, but not sticky!)
  • Preheat the grill (broiler) on high.
  • On a floured surface, roll out the dough to about 1 cm (½ inch) thick.
  • Place pizza dough onto a well-oiled, oven-safe frying pan on high heat.
  • While the bottom is cooking on the hob, top the pizza with the sauce, cheese, pepperoni herbs and whatever else you like. (Try your best to not over-top it or else it can fall apart or get soggy.)
  • Continue cooking on high until the edges of the crust start browning and crisping.
  • Place the pan under the grill and cook the toppings until the cheese is bubbly and browning. Slice.
  • If you're quick, you can actually have this from-scratch pizza on your plate (and in you mouth) quicker than it takes to cook a pre-made frozen pizza.
  • Enjoy!

Tips:

  • Use a pre-made pizza crust: This will save you time and effort, and you can find pre-made pizza crusts at most grocery stores.
  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: This will make a big difference in the flavor of your pizza.
  • Don't overload the pizza with toppings: Too many toppings will make the pizza soggy.
  • Bake the pizza at a high temperature: This will help to create a crispy crust.
  • Let the pizza cool for a few minutes before slicing it: This will help to prevent the toppings from sliding off.

Conclusion:

Making a personal pizza is a quick and easy way to enjoy a delicious, homemade meal. With a little planning and preparation, you can have a pizza ready in no time. So next time you're craving pizza, don't order takeout - make your own! You'll be glad you did.
