No. 2 Recipe - Garlic & Parmesan Pizza Bread

A favorite with pasta but also great to use as a thin pizza base! Again use whatever you like to flavour the bread. You could add rosemary.... cheddar instead of Parmesan etc.

Krystle's Garlic & Parmesan Pizza Bread

Ingredients:
  • 1/2 cup warm water
  • 2 tsp dried yeast
  • 1 tsp caster sugar
  • 1 1/2 cups plain flour
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 2 1/2 tbs olive oil
  • Olive oil spray
  • 1 Dessert spoon crushed garlic, fresh is best.
  • 1 Dessert spoon of parmesan, i use the packet variety as it's easier to spread and gives a nice texture.
  1. Preheat oven to 220°C. Combine the water, yeast and sugar in a jug. Set aside for 5 minutes or until foaming.
  2. Sift the flour and salt into a bowl. Make a well in the centre. Add the yeast mixture and 1 tbs of the oil. Use a round-bladed knife, then your hands, to mix until a soft dough forms. Turn onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 5 minutes or until smooth and elastic. Divide dough into 2 equal portions.
  3. Spray 2 baking trays with olive oil spray. Roll out 1 dough portion to a disc and place on prepared tray. Repeat with the remaining dough.Drizzle with remaining oil, scatter garlic and parmesan. Bake in oven for 10 minutes or until garlic is golden and base is crunchy.
TIP: Keep the oil you have left over from jars of sun dried tomatoes... it is great to cook with and you can use it to drizzle on this pizza instead of olive oil. Great Flavour!
