Receta Recipe For Pizza Dough
I am competing in the #MissionSamsung challenge where I get to use and review a Samsung Smart Oven for three weeks. The first challenge is Weekend Night Feasts and I had to prepare the ultimate gourmet pizza.
#MissionSamsung
When I took delivery of the Samsung Smart Oven last week the first thing I noticed was the auto fermentation feature. I am an avid bread maker but sadly my cottage is not that conducive to baking bread. The cottage gets very little sunlight – something we will remedy in time. However, during winter my bread making is severely restricted to using my bread maker or waiting for a warm day. I literally jumped with joy at the bread proving function as I have only ever seen this on The Great British Bake Off.
Pizza Dough
There are five pre-programmed auto fermentation cook functions which means you do not need to set the time or the power level, however, they can be adjusted if need be. These five programmes are for pizza dough, cake dough, bread dough and home made yoghurt (small dishes or a large bowl). It has been so long since I last made yoghurt that I might just give it a try. For the pizza dough it was as simple as making the dough, placing it into a glass bowl, covering the bowl with cling film and then placing the bowl in the centre of the turntable onto the lower rack. You close the door, press the auto fermentation button, select which programme you want and press start. For pizza dough, the proving takes 40 minutes.
Cooked Pizza Base
James had asked if he could come for supper and when I asked him what his favourite pizza topping was he told me it is bacon, avocado and feta. This is usually my go to pizza topping combination and I will order this no matter where we are in the world. For my gourmet pizza I chose caramelized red onions, brie, figs, rocket and Parma ham. I left my red onions on the stove to slowly cook down while I prepared the pizza dough. The brie had a bit of blue running through it which really complimented the figs. I chose to use soft, dried Turkish figs as fresh figs are not in season right now. Dave’s pizza was topped with gypsy ham, mushrooms and fresh red chillies and Carli had a traditional Hawaiian pizza. Pineapple is the one fruit I buy ready cut as I don’t like the wastage when trimming them myself. If Mark had been with us he would have asked for a carne pizza, with as many meat toppings as possible.

Pizza Dough
Adapted from Paul Hollywood's 100 Great Breads page 54
Ingredients:
for the pizza dough
- 500g bread flour
- 10g fine salt
- 15g yeast
- 400mls tepid water, divided
- olive oil for greasing
- for the pizzas
- pizza sauce
- mozzarella cheese, grated
- toppings of your choice
Method:
for the pizza dough
Place the flour, salt and yeast into a stand mixer bowl
Add 300mls water and using the dough hook, mix for 3 minutes on a low speed
While still running on a low speed, slowly add the water
Mix for 8 minutes on a medium speed
Do not panic - the dough will come together!
Oil 2 glass bowls generously
Divide the dough between each bowl (455g per bowl)
Cover with lightly oiled cling film and leave to prove until doubled in size
Knock bag and place into the fridge until you are ready to use
for the pizzas
Preheat the oven to 200° Celsius - if you are using a pizza stone, place the stone in the oven
Divide the dough into 4 equal portions, leaving the dough you are not using in the fridge until needed
Turn out onto a lightly floured surface and roll and stretch until the dough will fit your pizza pan / stone
Bake the pizza base for 5 minutes
Spread 2 tablespoons of the pizza sauce onto the base, quite thinly
Add a sprinkling of mozzarella cheese
Add your toppings
Bake for 20 minutes for a thin base, and 25 minutes for a thick base
Cooks Notes:
Once you have baked the pizza bases for 5 minutes you can set them aside to use as needed, or freeze them to use later. Cool on a wire rack before placing them onto a board or into freezer proof packaging.
