This is the recipe I use for dough except I spray the pizza pan with coconut oil .

• 450 grams (3 cups) flour
• 2 teaspoons (1 packet) instant yeast
• ½ tablespoon (1 glug) olive oil
• ¼ teaspoon (2 pinches) kosher salt
• 1⅓ cups warm water
• Cornmeal

1. In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine all ingredients. Leave out a small amount of the water.
2. Using the dough hook from the mixer, stir until a loose dough forms. If a dough doesn't form, add the rest of the water. If the dough is extremely wet and sticky, and a pinch of flour.
3. Attach the dough hook to the mixer and start on a low speed. Gradually increase the speed to medium until a ball forms. This should take about 30 seconds. If the dough does not release from the sides of the bowl, add a pinch of flour. If the dough is very dry and floury, add a small amount of water.
4. Once the dough forms into a ball, allow the mixer to knead for 8 minutes at medium-high.
5. After the kneading is finished, divide the dough in half. Using floured hands, gently shape each dough into a boule. Set each boule on a floured surface and dab with a little bit of olive oil to keep moist. Cover with a damp towel and allow to rise for 45 minutes to 1 hour.
6. To stretch the dough, pick up the risen dough and gently shape it into a circle. Do not over-work or fold the dough. Drape the dough over both of your knuckles and rotate it around, allowing gravity to stretch it into a circle. If the dough starts to resist stretching, put it down and allow it to rest for a few minutes, at which point it will stretch more easily.
7. Sprinkle a little bit of cornmeal onto a pizza peel or rimless baking sheet. Place the stretched dough onto the peel and quickly add toppings. Cook at 500° for 5-7 minutes until browned. Enjoy!

yep cinnamon...!!!!

the first italian cook book was written by a chap called Scrapelli. this was from the 17th centuary.. and in literally every receipie he put Cinnanmon and sugar!!!!

Cinnamon and sugar was the bling of the times...!!!!!!

I will put a touch of sugar in the dough next time to make the yeast more effective....!!!!

Thinking of making my own pasta!!!!!!

I was thinking of making the suace from tomato... but the aim here is to get my children to eat it... Both boys loved it.. asked wife to buy mopre 00 flour from a specific store

Yes Wahalla ... I think it has to do with Canadian wheat. Even the bread machine guide indicates you don't need bread flour. I might add a Tsp of wheat gluten next time and see if it makes a difference. (I add gluten to my dough for most things when using 100% wholewheat.

I do want some of that 00 flour to make ravioli.

[Peasie]

You made me look up '00 flour'

[Wahalla]

when u said Canada flour it clicked....on a baking website of Italian origin they said use Manitoba flour... no clue..looked it up and they said the equavalent is 00 flour... that canada flour was high in protien... Gluten.... which according to the psuedo science of marketing is bad for you...stuff and nonsense.... only less than 1 % have a gluten issue....high protien flour better quality.....

look at the amount of sugar and fat in Gluten free alternatives.... and salt...

[Wahalla]

Daughter comment i need to grate the chesse... i think slice... less sauce... brilliant dough....
