And here's the recipe...

Dough:

Yeast: 2 ¼ tsp

Bread flour: 2 ½ cups

Sugar: ½ tsp

Salt: to taste

Olive oil: 1-2 tbsp

Warm water: ¾ cup (about 150-180 ml)

Cornmeal + extra olive oil for dressing

 

Cheese Sauce:

Whole milk: 2-4 tbsp

Milk powder: 1-2 tsp

Cheese singles: Devondale 2, President 2

Butter: 1 ½ tsp

Hot sauce/cayenne pepper- ½ tsp

Salt and pepper to taste

Italian herbs

 

Topping:

Tortilla wrap: 1

Pizza sauce (ready-made): 2-3 tbsp

Mozzarella cheese: ½ cup

Cheddar cheese- 3 tbsp

Fresh basil: 6 leaves

 

 

METHOD

1. First of all, preheat your oven to about 200 deg C. (pls Google the right temp for your oven).

 

Dough:

1. Dissolve the yeast and sugar in your lukewarm water and let this stand for about 5 mins.

2. Mix flour and salt. Make a well in the centre and add your lukewarm water to it gradually.

3. Bring your dough together first, by folding in the flour to the wet ingredients. If it's too dry, then you need to add more regular water, but gradually and keep mixing until you get a soft and well-combined dough as shown in the video.

4. Knead your dough until smooth. This should take about 5-10 minutes.

5. Rub a little olive oil on your dough and place it to proof in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until well risen.

 

How to Proceed:   

1. Knock back dough after it has risen and get all air out.

2. Stretch and roll to desired shape. Keep aside.

3. Grease the back of a baking sheet with a bit of olive oil and sprinkle cornmeal. Place this into the hot oven and let the tray get a bit hot. This should take about 5-10 mins.

 

 

Cheese Sauce: NOTE- PREPARE LAST AS IF PREPARED AHEAD, THEN IT WILL COAGULATE AND GET HARD.

1. Warm your milk in a saucepan or microwave and mix in your milk powder. Mix till a little thick.

2. Tear up your cheese slices and add them to the milk. Increase the heat a little and mix well until soft and well combined.

3. Add a little butter, hot sauce, salt, pepper and Italian herbs.

 

 

How to Assemble Pizza: 

1. Take your pizza base and spread your cheese sauce on it.

2. Top this with a flour tortilla and spread pizza sauce on the tortilla.

3. Top the tortilla and sauce with mozzarella cheese, cheddar cheese and basil (or your fav toppings :P)

4. Bake pizza for about 5-10 mins or until cheese is melty.
