A bit like burnt, except spelt differently.

Screw the shape!, that pizza looks like it would have been a top feed and is what home cooking is all about. Did you do the base yourself and if so, any tips for those of us with zero ability when it comes to working with dough?.

and for our Atlantic cousins.... carmelized

Can't green you Charley, but I agree with HW, that looks the business.

Gravey is a fool

It's Gravey's pick on Nige week.

Seems like it.

Great food all. I have a ragu & spaghetti, Lasagne, Seekh kebabs and vindaloo to upload on this thread. I also have a brooch bouquet to make, because I'm getting married 3 weeks today. Stress!!!
Food posts will be up soon

Nige. That gravy reminds me of my dear departed mum's.
A lot of my Yorkshires used to turn out like those, still tasty but I couldn't understand why they weren't 'rising.'
I then realised that the batter was too thick...Less flour and hey presto!
Get the Missus' to give it a go.

For HW and Arbers.

250 gm bread flour
250 gm plain flour
pinch or two of salt

Sieve flour into large bowl.

325 ml tepid water
tsp sugar
Add 5 gm powdered yeast.
Stir and leave for 10-15 minutes.
The yeast should now be activated (foamy looking)
Add 1 tbs of olive oil, mix and pour onto flour.
Mix with wooden spoon (I'm sure all TDers have one!)

Get your hands in and bring it all together.
Cover with damp cloth and wait for about an hour.

It should look something like this...

Thanks Charleyboy, much appreciated. I'll buy the necessities to give this a go over the weekend and try to bake a few bases with no toppings first in case it all goes wrong!. Pics may or may not follow

HW. The hardest thing I found was...Getting the right temp to activate the yeast. If it foams, it will work!

Cheers, I'm gonna try it too!
