We had sardine pizza for yesterday's lunch. It was not in my plan to make pizza but I had to make something that is easy to make since my baby boy wouldn't let me be out of his side.Many may think making pizza is time consuming. Yes of course. It is because you have to let the dough to rise first before topping it and before tucking it into oven. I made two square pizzas. Yes, my pizzas are square. But, who cares? There are my pizzas. Aren't they?Let's check out the recipe.
Ingredients for pizza dough:
2 1/2 cup all purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 teaspoon dry yeast
1 teaspoon sugar
1 1/4 cup water
Topping:
2 cans of sardine in ketchup - small
1 tablespoon cooking oil
4 shallots - sliced
4 cloves garlic- minced
1 ripe tomato - quartered and sliced
2 tablespoons minced coriander leaves
2 slices cheddar - shredded
Salt and pepper
Preparation:
1. For dough, mix all the ingredient well and knead to form a soft dough and n longer sticks. Set aside for at least 45 - 60 minutes or until it has doubled the size.
2. Once risen, separate the dough to two equal portion. Knead or roll with roling pin to desired thickness. Transfer to a greased pan.
