A Very Fast Soda Bread Pizza!

Summer time, gardens, children, friends, barbeques & Pizza are some the main ingredients for a great day with the family! Pizza is so easy to make but some people are put off by the thought of getting the yeast, proving the dough and all that - so here is an alternative bread dough that you can make in five minutes and works just as well!

It is based on a traditional white scone bread mix with a wee twist and works perfectly every time. 

My ingredients:

For the dough -makes two 10” pizzas

800g plain white flour

½ tspn baking powder

2 tbls olive or rapeseed oil

A few twists of ground black pepper

A few twists of ground sea salt

125ml cold water

You can buy Pizza trays cheap in any hardware or discount shop.

My Method:

Heat your oven to 160ºC.

1. Put all the dry ingredients into a large bowl and stir with a whisk to mix well. Add the oil and stir.
2. Now add ¾ of the cold water and with your hand pull the mix into a dough. Add a little more water if you need to. When the dough comes together in the centre dust it with a little flour and turn it out onto your table.
3. Cut in half and roll out into two thin circles the size of your pizza trays. Place in the oven and bake for 5 minutes. Remove and leave aside.

 For the topping

1x jar of Tomato Sauce for Bolognaise

Thinly sliced peppers, Salami, onions, olives, bacon or any topping of your choice

Chopped fresh herbs

150g Mozzarella cheese sliced

Grated Irish Cheddar or Goats cheese of your choice

My Method:

Spread the sauce on the half-baked pizza base. Place your sliced meats, vegetables & herbs on top and finish with the mozzarella and grated cheese. Pop into the oven for another 8 minutes and serve. It couldn’t be quicker than that!
