Pizza Night with Miam

Meet your new go-to pizza dough — super easy, all in one bowl, rest and it's ready to roll (literally). Whether you’re planning a weekend pizza night or getting the kids involved in the kitchen, this recipe is the perfect place to start. Just mix, rest, and top with your favourite Miam flavours — the options are endless, what's your favourite?

Ingredients

Simple Pizza Dough

• 500g 00 flour (can use bread or plain flour instead)
• 7g yeast
• 5g salt
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 300-350ml warm water

There are endless topping ideas with Miam, and I'm a fan of using up leftovers in the fridge, but a few of my favourites are:

• Smoky BBQ Sauce with chargrilled peppers, mushrooms, mozarella and spinach (pictured)
• Charred Aubergine with cherry tomatoes , ricotta and kale
• Spiced Plum Chutney with potato, brie and capers
• XO Sauce with mushrooms, chard and stilton
• Pineapple Chilli Relish with red onion, shredded chicken and mozzarella.

Method

1. Mix all the dough ingredients together with enough water to form a tacky dough.
2. Knead for 8-10 minutes until the dough is smooth and elastic (if you have a food processor with a dough hook, mix for 5 minutes).
3. Lightly grease a bowl with oil and put the dough in. Cover and leave to double in size (about 1-2 hours).
4. When you're ready to make the pizzas, preheat the oven to 220C with a pizza stone (or oven tray) inside.
5. Divide the dough into two balls.
6. Option 1: Roll out the dough with a rolling pin and place on baking paper. Cover with your desired topping and cook for 10-15 minutes until golden brown.
7. Option 2: if you want to shape the dough to have a raised crust as pictured, I hand stretch the dough. (There's lots of good videos on Youtube to show how to do this better than I can explain in writing!)
8. Enjoy!
