BUTTER BUNS

1 pkg. or cake yeast 1/4 c. water 1 c. warm milk 1/2 c. sugar 2 eggs 4 c. flour 1/4 tsp. salt 1/4 c. melted butter Dissolve yeast in 1/4 cup warm water, 1 teaspoon sugar and let stand a few minutes. Beat eggs well. Add milk, butter, salt, sugar and yeast. Add 2 cups flour and beat very well. Add remaining flour and knead. Put in a warm place to rise. Shape into rolls and let rise again. Bake at 350 for 1520 minutes.

EASY BUTTER BUNS

1 pkg. dry yeast 1 c. warm water 2 tbsp. sugar 2 1/4 c. flour 1 tsp. salt 1 egg, beaten 2 tbsp. shortening (soft or melted) Stir all ingredients together. Let rise 30 minutes in bowl. Punch down and stir. Put in 12 small muffin tins. Let rise 30 minutes. Bake at 400 degrees for 15 minutes.

CINNAMON BUNS
Rolls:

4 cups all-purpose flour 1 package active dry yeast 1 cup warm milk, scalded and skimmed 1/2 cup granulated sugar 1/3 cup butter, melted 1 teaspoon salt 2 eggs

Dissolve the yeast in warm milk and set aside for 5 minutes to proof (foam). Combine sugar, butter, eggs and salt. Stir in flour and yeast mixture. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured board and knead until smooth. Sprinkle lightly with flour, as needed, to keep dough from sticking (dough should be slightly sticky). Add as little flour as possible; the more flour that is added, the heavier the bread will be, and the goal is to have very light bread, so if the dough is sticking rub a little oil on your hands. Place in a lightly greased bowl and turn once to grease top. Cover, let rise in a warm place free from draft about one hour or until dough has nearly doubled in size. Punch down, and roll the dough on a clean surface lightly dusted with flour. Roll out to a rectangle shape until it is

approximately 21 inches long and 16 inches wide by 1/4" thick. If dough begins to resist, stop working and allow it to rest for 15 minutes. Preheat oven to 400F. While oven is preheating, mix ingredients for filling.
Filling:

1 cup brown sugar, firmly packed 2 1/2 tablespoons cinnamon 1/3 cup butter, softened Mix brown sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl. Spread the softened butter evenly over the surface of the dough, then sprinkle with the cinnamon sugar mixture.

Starting from the long side, begin rolling the dough down to the bottom edge, jelly roll style. Cut the rolled dough into 1 3/4" slices and place into a lightly greased baking pan, allowing about 1 inch space between each. Put the rolls into a warm place and allow to rise again until nearly double in size (approximately 30 minutes). Bake for 10 to 15 minutes or until lightly golden. While the rolls are baking, mix ingredients for icing.
Icing:

8 tablespoons (1 stick) butter, softened

1 1/2 cups confectioners' sugar 1/4 cup cream cheese 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract 1/8 teaspoon salt Beat well with a rotary mixer until light and fluffy. When the rolls are done, drizzle generously with the icing while still warm.

method
This is a fantastic, reliable, everyday pizza dough, which can also be used to make bread. Its best made with Italian Tipo 00 flour, which is finer ground than normal flour, and it will give your dough an incredible super-smooth texture. Look for it in Italian delis and good supermarkets. If using white bread flour instead, make sure its a strong one thats high in gluten, as this will transform into a lovely, elastic dough, which is what you want. Mix in some semolina flour for a bit of colour and flavour if you like. Sieve the flour/s and salt on to a clean work surface and make a well in the middle. In a jug, mix the yeast, sugar and olive oil into the water and leave for a few minutes, then pour into the well. Using a fork, bring the flour in gradually from the sides and swirl it into the liquid. Keep mixing, drawing larger amounts of flour in, and when it all starts to come together, work the rest of the flour in with your clean, flour-dusted hands. Knead until you have a smooth, springy dough. Place the ball of dough in a large flour-dusted bowl and flour the top of it. Cover the bowl with a damp cloth and place in a warm room for about an hour until the dough has doubled in size. Now remove the dough to a flour-dusted surface and knead it around a bit to push the air out with your hands this is called knocking back the dough. You can either use it immediately, or keep it, wrapped in clingfilm, in the fridge (or freezer) until required. If using straight away, divide the dough up into as many little balls as you want to make pizzas this amount of dough is enough to make about six to eight medium pizzas.

Timing-wise, its a good idea to roll the pizzas out about 15 to 20 minutes before you want to cook them. Dont roll them out and leave them hanging around for a few hours, though if you are working in advance like this its better to leave your dough, covered with clingfilm, in the fridge. However, if you want to get them rolled out so theres one less thing to do when your guests are round, simply roll the dough out into rough circles, about 0.5cm thick, and place them on slightly larger pieces of olive-oil-rubbed and flour-dusted tinfoil. You can then stack the pizzas, cover them with clingfilm, and pop them into the fridge.

Jamie Oliver is the bomb! Can the man do no wrong? Another fab recipe, I'd still prefer ti if he cooked it for me. Are you there Jamie?
3.by Jefe de la Casa on Sat 18 Feb 2012 @ 17:26

Straightforward, simple recipe. Of course, you have to know what you are doing. Different flours, different liquid absorption. Cooler ovens - adapt technique. Wetter toppings - (like mushroom - or loads of toms pre-fry in a little olive oil to remove excess moisure) (you'll still get the taste - in fact even enhanced). Don't grumble about no feedback - it's only us visitors who read this.... grrr....

This recipe worked the first time I tried it and the result is just awesome!!! Thanks Jamie!!
5.by Matthias on Tue 24 Jan 2012 @ 21:07

Thank you very much for the comprehensive information on this site. The pizzas were a success, everybody said they liked it. Cooking time was 10 minutes at a temperature of around 300 Degrees. Thanks as well to the participants that gave feedback for example about the flour volcano - I mixed my dough in a bowl, it worked like a charm. Finally, I especially liked the lemon and rocket sauce that Jamie adds after the pizza is baked.
6.by Peter on Fri 20 Jan 2012 @ 17:36

I made this dough today, and it was fantastic. So easy to make and so perfect for a really good pizza crust. I made the dough using bread flour and semolina flour. All ingredients weighed on a scale to the recipe's specifications. The dough was a perfect consistency. I made four large dough balls, cooked two 19 inch pizzas and froze the remaining two dough balls for another day. The first pizza I cooked on the second to bottom shelf in my gas over @ 500F for about ten minutes. The second pizza was cooked on the bottom shelf. I thought the bottom shelf created a better crispy crust.<br /> <br /> Fantastic Recipe. Much simpler than the one I had been using, and it tasted ten times better! Thank you Jamie.

I too had the exploding volcano! The video really helps, my mistake was a very little well.
8.by mike on Sun 08 Jan 2012 @ 18:26

Important! My attempts to mix it on the side resulted in a big floury volcano collapsing and cascading on to the floor, I'd recommend mixing the flour with the water/oil/yeast in a bowl

Got a tip from an italian friend, who told me he'd always make<br /> the dough in the morning, use less yeast, and let it sit through<br /> till after work, knock it back, and then let it sit a couple more<br /> hours before making the base.
13.by Mee` on Sun 11 Dec 2011 @ 19:53

Where is the sauce recipe? I saw Jamie make this pizza on tv years ago and I made it. It was the best pizza I ever ate in my entire life! And it's not soggy like someone posted. They must have done something wrong. Anyway, Jaime made a sauce for it on tv and I can't find the recipe. I had it written down somewhere but lost it.<br /> <br /> It went something like:<br /> <br /> saute garlic with rosemary and basil and I think he added tomato paste from a tube but I can't recall. Does anyone know or have that recipe? Thanks! YUMMY!
14.by Tom on Sat 10 Dec 2011 @ 14:02

Temperature?<br /> <br /> As hot as you can get your oven! I use a pizza stone, preheated to 250 degrees. Lovely crisp base with none of the soggy pizza issues mentioned above. Do it!
15.by Jules on Fri 09 Dec 2011 @ 18:29

Fantastic recipe! I used half strong white bread flour and half plain flour as that was all I had left. I used a floured rolling pin to make very thin pizzas, I lost count of how many I made, I also made some garlic dough balls. About 3 minutes cooking time in our homemade pizza oven in the garden, fantastic! When used for cheesy garlic pizza bread, everyone said it was the best they had ever had!
28.by Jessica on Sat 29 Oct 2011 @ 12:57

Jamie, you are amazing. I caught the tail end of the Pizza episode of Jamie at home with my 4 year old daughter. and she said mum we have to make those pizza's I already had the book (amazing Guinness and beef pie) so we did, and will continue to from now on. thank you far this easy delicious recipe.
29.by Cressie Scott on Thu 27 Oct 2011 @ 11:03

This pizza dough is bloody fantastic! I'm 15 and I've cooked it many times and all the pizzas have always turned out amazing. Its not that hard to make, and it looks great when friends come around. My dads favourite is lots of melted cheese, cheddar and mozarella, then quickly fry some bacon lardons before sprinkling on top of pizza as it goes in to the oven. Delicious!!!<br /> I'm doing his little fried pizzas for my food technology project at the moment, these are just tinier, simpler versions which also taste great!
30.by Ashleigh on Wed 26 Oct 2011 @ 18:11

Hi Jamie, I have used this recipe a number of times now, and it IS SIMPLY THE BEST one around! I don't think that I am the best cook but everyone who has had the Pizza's think that I am brilliant...but I do give you all the credit and them your recipe. You make me a very happy girl.
31.by Julie on Sun 23 Oct 2011 @ 14:02

I used this recipe last night and it worked out a treat! All the ingredient amounts seemed to be perfect. I did add a little more flour as I was kneading the dough but I presume this is the norm. I used bacon and mushroom toppings and baked it on Jamie's JME Pizza Tray and served it on the JME Pizza Plate. Perfect! I left enough dough in the fridge to make another one today for lunch and I have 4 more balls of pizza dough in the freezer for future use :) Thanks Jamie!<br /> <br /> <br /> <br />
32.by Claire on Sat 22 Oct 2011 @ 19:49

Thank you Jamie,<br /> I quartered the recipe, and found that the amount of water was fine even though it seemed at lot at first so I put half in the well and added bit by bit until it was all included.<br /> I cooked the base on 200.c for 5 mins, then added my toppings and put it back in the oven until it looked cooked. <br /> I used an oiled pizza tray to cook it, and the base was very crisp yet still chewy so perfect really! <br /> I will be using this recipe again.<br /> Great :-D

Excellent pizza dough recipe but surely far too much salt and water?
40.by Gordon Ramsey on Sun 02 Oct 2011 @ 13:22

You should try using shoelaces in the pizza dough, this will stop the pizza disintegrating while you boil it.

42.by jammal on Tue 27 Sep 2011 @ 05:01

greets.. i have a problem with my dough, it is soggy and sticky, maybe i added to much water to the yeast, or somethin else? i added extra flour and it didnt do nothin to make it firm. can it be improve or should i just throw it away? what should i do mate :)
43.by Simon on Fri 23 Sep 2011 @ 14:40

Why not try adding some finely chopped herbs to the dough? Dried will also suffice!<br /> <br /> I add a tablespoon of chopped rosemary and a well smashed clove of garlic to my water before making the dough. Give it a try!
44.by Joe on Wed 21 Sep 2011 @ 13:22

The water is fine for this amount, as you will always be adding more flour to roll, moving in and out of bowls ect. Anyone wondering about the temperature, make the oven as hot as possible and add the pizza's. I cooked a very thin Margarita and it took around 2 minutes. Now trying stuffed crusts and pesto bases.
45.by Melanie on Tue 06 Sep 2011 @ 09:50

I'm surprised that nobody has mentioned it, but probably the best "tipo 00" flour out there is the Caputo Molino brand that is milled in Naples, Italy. I've been told that 80% of the pizzerias in Naples use this flour. There are a couple of varieties: The Caputo Pizzeria which is sometimes referred to as "Caputo Blue" because it comes in a blue bag. Caputo Rinforzato (sometimes called Rosso or Red because it comes in a red bag), and the "Chef's" flour, which comes in small 1 Kilo (2.2) pound bags. Google for caputo 00 flour and you'll find places that sell it. It's difficult to find locally, unless you're in a fairly urban area with a heavy Italian population.<br /> <br /> Some Italian 00 flours are low in protein content because they are used by pastry chefs. Caputo is still ground extra fine (00), but it's protein content is higher than all-purpose flour (12.5%)

Hi, I was looking for a pizza recipe and came upon Jamie's. I was delighted to find that it used olive oil and not 'vegitable oils or seed oils' Since my beautiful sister died last year of cancer our family have read books ,articles etc as you do when this happens and one of the most striking findings has been that despite the prevailance of vegitable oils and seed oils in all our food no one seems to care that vegitable oil is rendered toxic by heat and that most manufacturers use this heat process to extract or produce the vegitable oil.I now scan everything I buy in the supermarket and there is practically nothing that does'nt have vegitable oil in it. I feel like I am systematically poisioning my family with the very food that should sustain them.So thank you Jamie I will now be making my own pizzas with this recipe. Patricia

This is my favourite pizza dough recipe! I always try to stock up on Tipo 00 flour when I see it because my supermarket doesn't stock it, but I've used Allinson strong white bread flour for this recipe too. <br /> <br /> It makes a great pizza but I also like to add some rosemary and dried oregano to the flour, bake it without any topping, spread it with Jamie's flavoured butter and serve it warm. Its good for party nibbles with antipasti, or as an accompaniment to pasta. Makes a nice change from doughy supermarket garlic bread.
74.by Alex on Sat 23 Apr 2011 @ 15:21

Bread flour is easy to get in Australia and makes beautiful dough. A 6 minute kneading, proofing and then another but shorter kneading makes a great dough. Make sure your yeast is not old and dead otherwise you'll notget a rise. Bellissimo mate!

Hi Jamie,<br /> i love this pizza dough and tried to make it as bread last night but had to guess the cooking time i cooked half the mix for 30mins on gas mark 8 top was well browned but a bit doughy in the middle and bottom. i have the other half in the freezer to try again but wondered if you could give some advice on the cooking time.<br /> P.S This is a great recipe for a lactose intolerant child only have to watch the yeast ingredients my daughter loves it.<br /> Thank you

79.by iain macphee on Mon 04 Apr 2011 @ 15:48

to get the base nice and crispy, you need to pre-heat your oven to what ever temperature your recipe say's, and put a tray upside down on the bottom rack, when you put the other tray with what ever is on it on the top rack in your oven, your base should be all nice and quite a bit more crispier on the bottom! enjoy!!!!!

Hello Jaime<br /> A warm hello to you and your family.<br /> Many thanks for this pizza dough recipe. It is wonderful and absolutely easy to make.I did not have golden caster sugar, so i made it with just white caster sugar; still turned out beautifully!<br /> This pizza dough recipe was a fantastic delight and a great help to a new cook like me! ~ Angel from Singapore

The best soggy pizza I ever had

85.by vitalia on Wed 15 Dec 2010 @ 22:03

If you do not want soggy pizza, the key is to brush on a thin layer of olive oil onto your pizza dough before putting on the wet ingredients.

This pizza dough was amazing! I had to add a bit more flour, because my dough kept getting very sticky, but with a bit of work it was perfect. I don't understand why people are getting soggy pizzas, mine had quite a few toppings (Sauce, zucchini, tomatoes and loads of cheese) and it wasn't soggy at all. The only thing that is bothering me a bit is that I left it to rise for more than an hour, kneaded the air out, then I kept a small ball of leftover dough in my fridge, and over night it popped a hole in the cling film and started growing all over the fridge. I wrapped it up again, but it is still growing. I hope it stops soon! Another amazing recipe that I will definitely use again!
88.by boris on Thu 11 Feb 2010 @ 04:37

if you want the dough to be cooked properly without a soggy middle: just put the base (with nothing on top) in the oven on the highest temp for 4 or 5 minutes. then put your toppings on, and then put it back in for around 2 minutes.
89.by nisan on Tue 13 Oct 2009 @ 00:26

hello Jamie, the dough is incredible. me and my boyfriend, we spent our saturday afternoon preparing it, we made six pizza bases and put some of it to the refrigirator. we added toppings of our choice and the result was really more than just delicious. it is the best pizza ever! thank you very much. nisan
90.by Mr Bee on Sat 18 Jul 2009 @ 18:19

Ive been using an almost identical recipe which my grandmother used for many years, the only real difference is we use some lukewarm milk and less (about half the volume here) sugar to get the yeast going and we always use cornmeal in the mix and to roll the dough. Its a very good reliable everyday recipe and never fails to produce very good quality dough and super tasty bread. If your pizza is soggy in the middle, then either your oven is not hot enough or you have too much topping, you should really only put 2-3 toppings on and dont go crazy on the cheese either or the bread wont rise properly, especially if your oven doesnt do high heat. If your having trouble with even cooking get a pizza stone it will improve your pizza no end.

@ the dude Mon 08 Jun 2009 Ever hear of this new technique called 'HALVING' the recipe? Do the math numbskull ... HALVE the ingredients and you'll make 3-4 medium pizzas! WOW! what a revelation. Guess what? DOUBLING the recipe will give you 12-16 pizzas! Madness!
92.by Julia from Sweden on Sat 11 Jul 2009 @ 16:01

This is an awesome pizza dough recipe. I use it all the time and have taught everyone I know how to make it. To make sure your pizza is not soggy in the middle, pre-bake the dough by itself for about 5 minutes, then go nuts with the toppings. It turns out perfect every time. Thanks Jamie, for all the fantastic recipes. Love everything you do :) and I think you should come to Sweden and do a show here.
93.by Stephanie Millar on Fri 10 Jul 2009 @ 12:50

I am making home made pizzas for some family tonight, so I made the dough and sauce last night. I made the dough exactly as the receipe required but it keeps on growing!! It virtually exploded in my fridge last night....whilst I was, ironically, at a Jamie At Home party (very good btw, I bought an entire crockery set and plan to have a big Greek party with my old IKEA set). I managed to knead a bit more air out - thought this might help - and then put it in the freezer to calm it down. It is currently sitting in my work's fridge but, frankly, it is growing by the minute!!

Have I done something wrong??

94.by laurie -florida on Wed 01 Jul 2009 @ 03:57

I made the pizza dough and sauce for Sunday dinner. It was GREAT! My family loved it. I halved the recipe as we have a small family, but I have enough dough to make another pizza later on in the week- I popped it in the freezer. The pizza sauce is the best!

96.by Nathalie on Thu 25 Jun 2009 @ 19:20

I have made this recipe more than I recall now, however i discovered this: use spelt flour and it gives your pizza dough a wonderful nutty taste. That flour makes a fantastic pizza, fully recommended! Thank you Jamie for the recipe.
97.by neetu on Mon 22 Jun 2009 @ 06:49

hi Jamie ! can you pls. tell me how to make pizza dough by using whole meal flour.
98.by Trev on Mon 22 Jun 2009 @ 06:24

WOW LOOK AT THIS You need a slab of stone in the oven . Oven temp as hot as you can get it . In a proper pizza oven temp is about 400. So my oven will only go to about 300 this will do . Do not over load your pizza thats why its soggy as well . After you made your base , About 2025 mm thick of your contents to go on it and it should be all ok . Hope this helps cheers Trev .
99.by laura on Sun 14 Jun 2009 @ 23:44

just tried this pizza dough out for dinner, it was great! we used a pizza stone in the oven as well and it turned out fantastic. make sure you roll the dough quite thinly and you won't have a problem with sogginess :)

We are now making this for the fourth time and its briliant pizza's are fantastic. just would like an idea on how to make a calzone because when i try using this dough it tends to go like pastry :~). Any advice would be brilliant many thanks Kev
101.by MOUSE on Fri 12 Jun 2009 @ 17:17

I have made this recipe twice now and about to make it for a third time. I use a pizza stone in the oven and my bases have turned out nice and crisp. I preheat the stone for at least 30 minutes prior to putting the pizza in and use quite a hot oven. First time I rolled the dough too thin and therefore my pizza collapsed, you need to have quick a medium thickness to the base.

Dear Jamie, I really think this recipie sucks.....not in a bad way no offense......but its all wrong. Why would you want to make 6-8 pizzaz?????????? and the base is too soft cant even pick it up once rolled out......you should see the state off my supper.........I do respect you as a cook but u need to sort that one out dude......BIG time.

105.by Andy L on Wed 20 May 2009 @ 14:59

Hell Jamie, Cause most dont have a pizza oven you could have mentioned so's they dont get soggy dough in middle to put the base of the pizza on tray when ready to cook ontop of the stove for a few mins turning it round constantly so's to brown the base and also get the middle cooking before finishing off pizza in oven. Keep the Recipes Coming dude!!!!
106.by SCOTT D on Mon 18 May 2009 @ 08:40

Best toppings ever 1) tomato paste, hot sopressa, chili flakes, red capsicum, tomato, povodoro cheese 2) rub pizza with olive oil, shreds of smoked salmon, fresh dill, dill pickle, crumbled goats cheese WOW
107.by Andy on Mon 11 May 2009 @ 14:01

I've tried this recipe several times. It's simple and fun to do but, like others leaving comments on this page, haven't been able to cook a pizza which doesn't have soggy uncooked dough in the middle. Others have suggested this may be because domestic ovens can't get hot enough to cook the pizza properly so I'm going to give up. My constructive criticism for this page is - 1) some guidance on cooking times and temperatures would be very helpful; and 2) it would be useful if Jamie (albeit unlikely) or his media manager would respond to comments (particularly when negative about the recipe) as this is what you'd expect from a comments section of a blog.

Hi! The pizzas look amazing on the show, but somehow the crust on my pizzas got way to dry. I was hoping that the edges would be larger with pockets of air. Does anybody know what I did wrong?
112.by Seb on Sat 11 Apr 2009 @ 16:36

I found it best to cook the dough (rolled out and in shape already) for a few minutes so the dough has risen a bit and is a little firmer before adding any toppings. Otherwise the topping burns before the dough has cooked fully, or if the base is cooked before toppings are added the base burns.

120.by Gibson on Fri 13 Mar 2009 @ 16:18

I used this recipie for the first time I ever tried to bake anything, and it worked great! I was surprised because I got a book of pizza recipies and all the different dough recipies say to let the dough rest in the fridge for "at least ten hours." I didn't have that kind of time, so I used Jamie's recipie instead, and it was really good.

127.by Very happy novice cook! on Tue 17 Feb 2009 @ 23:07

WOW!!! My first attempt at making any kind of dough and the instructions worked perfectly. I even rolled some mozzarella into the crust and made a stuffed crust (just like a well known pizza/pasta place!). No instructions on how to cook it so I just added my toppings, pre-heated my oven to 200C, put the pizza onto a baking tray (with some flour on it to stop it sticking), and left it in the oven for around 15 mins. Very easy to make, very tasty, very very happy Thanks Jamie!!!

I've just come up with a good recipe, very simple, give it a go: 2 cups of flour 2 desert spoons salt 2 desert spoons of olive oil 400ml luke warm water mix with water adding as needed until a soft dough is formed. If you add a little too much water and the dough is too sticky, dust with a little more flour and mix until the dough feels right. Lightly dust a board and roll out. Use a tin with high edges, and stretch the dough up over the rim of the tin all the way around. Cut up a mild block of cheese into 1cm thick long slices and put inside tin around edge. Fold the dough that's up on the rim over the cheese and onto the base. For base sauce use a mixture of tomato ketchup and bbq sauce, mix in a small bowl and place in the centre, then smooth out using the back of a spoon and then crack some black pepper over the base, finally add some mixed herbs. Grate cheese on top, then add toppings of your choice, mushrooms / ham etc. Finish with a final thin layer of cheese on top. Pre heat over gas mark 6. Put on top shelf for 15 minutes until golden. Serve!

Just did it and the family loved it! Cheers,

136.by Doughnutchef on Thu 29 Jan 2009 @ 04:05

I'm a doughnut/ bread maker and from my experience 00 flour really isn't necessary at all to a fine pizza dough.Any medium gluten(11-12%) quality bread flour will work good.In this recipe you posted ,the salt levels are too low and the yeast slightly high.Of course 00 flour is lower in protein and normally would lend itself to less salt,but non-the less it gives for bland flavor.Olive oil is good and gives a little crispness to the crust,but it has a low-smoke point and not neutral in flavor.The absents of sugar would tend to make a somewhat chewy and white colored pizza ,unless you own a high temperature(700-1000*f) professional oven.And you would indeed need such heat in order to gelatinize the starch granules and to brown this pizza dough using the shorttime straight dough method.I know i sound critical of this recipe,to the contrary,it is a good recipe for its purpose.But people who bake are always trying to improve things,or at least I have.Keep up the good work!

I put the oven temp as high as possible ,put the pizza in and let it cook till the cheese looks almost melted maybe 5 minutes ,then take it out and put olive oil on the edges put it back in till crust looks golden brown also i throw a hand full of ice in the bottom of the oven at the begining to create steam so the dough rises slower at first and doesn't get too brown

Hi all pizzalovers! I'm everytime astonished to see how simply delicious can/must be. For your dough Jamie you can add more flavour in using fine wholewheat flour. I'm sorry I'm Dutch and don't know if this is proper English. Anyway, it gives the pizza a grey color instead of white and more body. Delicious if the pizza is the only dish aside a fresh salade. Everybody loves my pizza, so give it a try...

Hello, Simplest yet BEST pizza: tomato sauce (one of Jamie's of course!), 4 or 5 thin slices of fresh tomatoes, 4 or 5 slices of mozzarella, olives if you like, and a handful of grated cheese (I prefer emmental, but cheddar will do). Bake. Out of the oven, a splash of olive oil and a few leafs of fresh basil. Enjoy. Martin
149.by Simon on Sun 21 Dec 2008 @ 16:19

No point expecting restaurant quality pizzas using domestic ovens (even fan assisted). I have tried for years. You just can't get the high temps needed to brown the toppings quickly and get a perfect evenly cooked base. You need to cook the pizza on a pizza stone for a start, not one of those pizza trays with holes in! If you want great results from home with no soggy bases, use something like 'ThePizzaMaker'. You can buy these from Amazon for under 50. I was amazed at the results.

I used 1kg strong white bread flour instead of the tipo flour (which I couldn't find) and ordinary caster sugar instead of tipo and golden caster sugar - the pizza base turned out absoloutely superb first time. I used two balls of dough straight away and and I've frozen the other four batches which will make things much quicker next time. Only thing to watch out for is to be very careful when pouring the yeast liquid into the well of flour!

I tried Jamie's dough in the past as well and it was always great! The problem I am having is with baking the pizzas. On my first attempt I did exactly what was suggested - got the oven as hot as possible (I have an electric oven) - 220 C. It dried the pizza very fast. The next time, while the cheese was melted on top and the bacon was almost burned I took it out only to find out that the dough was not cooked through yet. Since then I always go with the bottom tray at 180 C and slowly cook the pizza. It turns out excellent but it just take too long. Please help me out here guys! -Matty

162.by Nick on Fri 14 Nov 2008 @ 15:14

Tipo 00 is a grade of Italian flour. Its not so easy to get in the UK, and I imagine quite difficult in Australia too. Italian supermarkets should stock it though... or it is available online. Tipo 00 is an IDEAL ingredient, rather than a vital one.

Again, Golden Caster Sugar does exist (e.g Billingtons), although you may as well use normal if you can't find it.
163.by Kathryn on Sun 19 Oct 2008 @ 04:02

thanks jamie! i really wanted a white sauce pizza, and it turned out great on this fluffy pizza dough. i was a bit lazy and didn't use the well method, as i'm lucky enough to have a kitchen aid mixer with a dough hook :) in the past, i've had problems with yeast but i've learned to use yeast that hasn't been sitting in the cupboard for a year. i've also messed up the yeast by using water that was too hot and instantly killed the yeast. good luck with the ministry of food, and i will try to pass on the pizza dough recipe as well. cheers.

SUSAN, As hot as your oven can get! Most professional pizza ovens are set at about 800-900 degrees Fahrenheit. My oven goes as high as 550 F and it can cook a pizza in about 10 minutes. Don't rely on any time limits, just eyeball it. When the cheese is brown and bubbly and the edges of the crust are golden brown, it's ready.

Was amused by the idea of baking a pizza base blind... :) Am off to try the chickpea flatbreads now. The salmon with green beans and baby tomatoes was fantastic too. Have made it twice and was very well received both times. Loving your work Jamie.

Hi there, Trying this pizza out today (so fingers cross it goes well), just wondering once made do you have to blind bake it or just put the topping on straight away? If so how long does it take and what gas number is it? Regard Alix
185.by Nicki on Wed 23 Jul 2008 @ 09:28

I use this recipe for my dough all the time and always keep a supply in the freezer! just get it out the morning of the day you want to use it and it's absolutely fine.

I *just* watched this episode night before last, and my daughter was literally hysterical at Jamie's names for the calzone when he pulled it out of the oven. I had to replay it several times

until she could stop laughing and hear what he was saying, because she was actually interested to see the food. I'm just sorry he didn't chop it open so I could see the inside, with all the mushrooms and mozzerella. YUM!
188.by Danil [Holland] on Thu 10 Jul 2008 @ 19:53

Nice recipe, but I have got one question: Why don't you use fresh yeast from the bakery? I use it in Holland for Dough and Cookies. Greetings from Holland
189.by James McDonald on Tue 08 Jul 2008 @ 16:22

Yeah what a great receipe. Pizzas turned out wicked. We had some issues with vegos so just made basic magharita pizzas and then had lots of other ingredients ready to top individual slices as we went. This made it really social and everyone had a different tasting pizza each slice...and suited everyones needs. The next step is working out the gluten free receipe for some friend. Is it just a simple step of replacing the yeast and flour with gluten free substitutes? Have you any better soultions?
190.by Caroline Usher on Mon 07 Jul 2008 @ 19:10

We used this recipe quite a few years ago to make pizza bases for kids (in secondary school) I have been searching for it every where...at last I found it as its a 'works every time' combination thanks...and thanks from happy children
191.by Marta (Portugal) on Sun 06 Jul 2008 @ 13:05

This is a great recipe. I made a calzone with this pizza dough and it was a success! I only made half of the recipe, and just used half of it (1/4 of the original recipe) and it was enough for two big calzones. The rest is in the freezer and I'm really curious to see how the dough turns out when defrosted.
192.by Lisa on Sat 05 Jul 2008 @ 14:26

I tried making this yesterday nad it came brilliant!! the pissa remained really soft after cooking and didnt dry at all and it cam much better than store bought dough. I do suggest brushing the crust with a beaten egg before putting it in the oven to give it a golden luke after cooking though. I used an old family recipe if anyone is interested this is it: brush the pizza base with kunserva (tomato paste) and then spead on some caponata. Add tuna or ham, sweetcorn, egg and pineapple. grate some chedder cheese and over that some mozzarella. It has a sweet and salty taste and it really delicious!! Once again amazing recipe, Lisa (Malta)

My daughters like the shop "real Italian" pizza which I have always told them are nothing like the pizzas you get in Italy. We've just been to a summer festival and they have just had their first

ever real pizza and they loved it. I want to make this for them but what temperature do I cook it on?
195.by dean on Fri 27 Jun 2008 @ 08:13

I think this dough is absolutely great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I use it all the time and find it the best tasting dough recipe. I use it for pizza, calzone etc. Using strong flour or tipo '00' makes it have more flexibility and stretchiness. Chef dean

197.by Amos on Wed 25 Jun 2008 @ 07:35

I've been looking for a recipe made on one of the earlier naked chef programmes but can't find it. It was either a bread or a pizza dough filled with parma ham, mozarella,basil and sun dried tomatoes, rolled into a tube and formed into a ring then baked. I want to make it this Saturday, but could use some specifics. Thanks!

Can we get you on TV in the US for another half hour? I love the way you cook like most people-- no million dollar kitchen or appliances. Also, we regular people grow stuff in the garden, but rarely do we see them on television the way you show them. Thanks. You have renewed my so-far, frustrating attempts at cooking. I am serious about the extra half hour. Linda M. - New Jersey

OK OK , but is too much water no more then 500 ml for 1 KG of flour, and after u cut then into dough, leave then for at list 8 hours in to the frizer, then u open the dough by hend, to make the lips od pizza in the round. Doing this u keep the chezze in the pizza,

Hi Jamie, Tried your pizza recipes with this dough and it works beautifully. The touch of dough is so delicate. I've never seen dough ganing that much volume in so little time. I love the small amount of oil in your dough: I can use more (vegetal) fat in the topping like ilive oil , tuna, presunto (Portuguese), salpico( Portugeuse). My next experiment will be about a bacalhau-pizza! Xau, Rinus

Hi Jamie, We are living in Canada although we are Brits and have always been a big fan of yours, but I would like to try your Pizza dough recipe but I am a little worried as we are at altitude in Okotoks Alberta, so would I be able to work with this dough or do you have any suggestions. I am sure we are not the only ones who are interested. Lots of Love, Trudy xoxoxox
235.by Elizabeth on Wed 07 May 2008 @ 14:45

Fabulous pizza dough, way nicer than anything you can buy (!) and tomato sauce is really delicious as well. A good topping is thin slices of aubergine pre-roasted in the oven so that they go crispy at the edges and chewy in the middle. We took some pizzas made like this on a picnic once and they were wondrous.

237.by dukegus on Wed 07 May 2008 @ 11:10

I think this dough improves a bit if you use lukewarm milk than water. It becomes tastier and softer. You can use a bit milk and a bit water if you want to. The problem with this dough(with water), at least at my home oven which is not professional, is that the other part of the bread becomes quite rough but not crunchy. I don't know how to describe it. I think the problem come from the baking process than the ingredients, but I'm not sure... for this particular recipe, without being a chef or anything a think it has a bit more sugar for my taste.

Everyone! if you want to put fresh tomato slices on the pizza,try to cut them in advance and sparkle some salt on them,in this way they will get rid of all the water and when in the oven won't moist your dough! this is what we italian do since it's a pity not to use fresh tomatoes in summer.Try and you'll remember me!love to everyone!
244.by Keith Dixon on Sun 04 May 2008 @ 04:23

This pizza dough is amazing!!!!! I have tried many different recipes and this is just brilliant!! I made pizza using this recipes last week and my family loved it. I does take a bit of time to prove but I usually make bread sing Jamie's bread recipe anyway and that needed to be proved twice, so this is no biggy for me. I will recommend this recipe to anyone. Try it and you will love it. It is a bit difficult to get hold of bread flour, but it worked out great for me just using plain flour. Try not to use slice tomatoes on the pizzas though, it gets a bit too wet and soggy, I guess it will be the same if you try pumpkin or big chunks of pineapple. I am going to try and cook it a bit longer in the oven next time with lower heat so it is not too soggy in the the middle. But it is absolutely yummy!
