Home made Pizza

Mama K, Pizza cook.
The Challenge - compare home made bases with ready made packaged bases

Step 1 - Add flour mix to bowl and have warm water and stirring spoon to hand


Step 2 - Mix until a soft malleable dough is achieved


Step 3 - Knead for 5 minutes




Step 4 - Roll to create a base of desired size and thickness




The competition. Good quality, pre-packaged bases


Step 5 - Commence tomato puree base coat



Carefully spread by Mama K

Voila. Ready for topping


Step 6 - Commence topping to suit taste. This was a shared pizza so each segment had different toppings, as you will see.
Mushrooms first

Smoked sausage and ham

Chicken, olives and jalapenos


Mozarella cheese to finish off


Verdict - It was a unanimous decision - The home made base was far better. The pre-packaged base was too dry and firm, unlike the Mama K base, which kept its moisture and tasted better. It's home made bases for us from now on.
Yummy, the finished product
