KCCC_ Pizza adventure

A belated post that was meant to be written yesterday already... better late than never I suppose!!

I know it is not a DIY Thursday, but I really want to share this wonderful KCCC evening with you - we had such fun! KCCC May month was pizza month and we made the most delish pizzas from scratch with no other kitchen utensils than what we all have in our houses!

We started by making a pizza dough recipe from Ravinder Bhogal's book Cook in Boots (a great book that I can definitely recommend!)

The pizza dough after being under a warm grill for 5 minutes

The base is then turned around and ready to receive the toppings.

What is so wonderful about this dough is that you only need to make it approximately an hour before you start making the pizzas and the fact that you grill it for 5 minutes and only then start layering on the toppings ensures you have an amazing crisp and crunchy pizza crust when you eat – this is almost always where homemade pizzas fall short!

Our ingredients included:

Fresh Rocket and Basil leaves, straight from the garden

 A selection of cheeses: Mozzarella, Brie and Gruyere.

Something meaty: Parma ham and chorizo sausage

Caramelized onions and poached Rosa tomatoes in white wine and thyme

 Tomato paste and fresh Avocado pear

With these ingredients we managed to create a feast that looked something like this...

 

Making the dough is probably the most difficult part of your evening, from there you only need fresh and interesting toppings, a very hot oven and some hungry customers… how easy can it be!?

Perhaps this post inspires you to rather DIY it than order in when your next pizza crave hits?
