Pizza

At 5:30pm tonight I felt like making pizzas for dinner, but I decided this was a silly idea because the dough takes 2 hours to rise. So I thought - that's ok I will just make them tomorrow, so I looked up the recipe anyway.
I was amazed to see that the base had no yeast in and therefore did not need raising time, so I gave it ago. (i found this in an old edition of Food & Home magazine that I am borrowing from the library).
Pizzas were made in 15mins plus cooking time, and the base was amazing, more american style than Italian. So I thought I would share the recipe with you. Also so I don't forget and I can always look it up on this blog.

Makes 4 (I just halved everything, but this is for 4):

350g self raising flour
5ml salt
50g butter
250ml milk

1. Sift flour and salt in a bowl and rub in the butter with your fingertips until it resembles breadcrumbs. Add the milk and mix to form a soft dough. Turn out onto a floured working surface.
2. Roll dough into 25cm rounds on a lightly greased baking tray.
3. then throw on your toppings and cook.

Nice and quick and simple.
