The cupboards start getting bare by the end of the week, but there's usually something left there to chuck onto a pizza. We always mix up the toppings for variety, but tonight I thought I'd try using spelt flour (rather than plain white flour) to make up the bases, and I must say I'll be using it again. This ancient grain is currently enjoying a resurgence in popularity due to it's nutritional qualities and appealing nutty flavour.
The kids topped theirs with ham and pineapple which went down a treat.
And they only take 12 minutes to cook in a hot oven - now that's what I call fast food. Do you have a regular Friday night meal?
Everyone keeps talking about these thermomixes, I think I need to check it out!

I am hosting a Thermomix demo party next week...I cannot wait to see what it can do!
ReplyDeleteAnd those pizzas look great!
I am so hungry right now and am thinking that a homemade pizza would really hit the spot!
Friday nights we always go to Toddler C's godmother's house...she lives right around the corner from us and always puts on a nice spread of nibbles which serve as our dinner!
I've had mine for just over 12 months now and I can honestly say that I use it daily - sometimes even 4-5 times a day! It's great for making dough for breads, rolls, pizzas - in fact I even make my own filo pastry with it. If you're into making meals using fresh ingredients (I try to avoid additives as much as I can, so I cook everything from scratch) you'll love it. Check out www.whatcarolinecooked.blogspot.com.au for a sample of the things I make with this machine. It's a little expensive, but it can perform the function of 10 appliances, so I don't use anything else. xx
DeleteNothing better than homemade pizza! Dan sometimes makes our bases by hand , otherwise we use flatbreads. I''m intrigued by thermomixes
ReplyDeleteHmm, that published before I was ready! Oops.
ReplyDeleteFriday night is generally pizza night for us as well and I'm very impressed with the results I am getting from the weber (on a pizza stone) at present since we are ovenless - sometimes a little burn on the bottom but generally great.
ReplyDeleteIf there was anything ever that I have read online to compel me to buy a thermomix - it's this post. Pizza bases in minutes!? The mind boggles. The pictures you have posted make it look nice and fluffy too :)
ReplyDeleteHi there, I must put this into perspective - you basically throw in all your dough ingredients (ie flour, water, yeast, salt, oil) and it kneads it for you in less than 2 minutes. You then have to let it prove and presto - best ever pizza bases! AND you can also make the tomato sauce for your pizza with the TM as well, AND it grates the cheese in seconds (never buy pre-grated cheese - it's full of anti-caking agents.) xx
DeleteYes, and we call it pizza Friday! Every week, everyone in the family should think of a new flavor that we can try. I’m into vegan pizza, and I always top my slices with some of my favorite herbs like rosemary and basil. And of course, tons of gourmet cheese inside and out.
