Product Information

Water. The water should be warm (not hot). It should be about the temperature you would have for a baby’s bath water. Take the bread out of the bowl using the baking paper and drop into the hot Dutch Oven (please be very careful and use oven mitts). Score the top using a knife. Cover and bake for 30 minutes. After an agreed few seconds of thinking time, someone shouts 'go' and the Modellers begin modelling their word, i.e. Modellers are modelling at the same time. Lift the paper by the edges and place in a bowl to rise for a further 30 minutes. Meanwhile, place your cast iron pot in the oven and preheat to 220°C (420°F). This is a great game particulary where there is a mix of all ages. We started being very polite and it rapidly descends into mayhem. We laughed alot. Its not complicated, the rules are straightforward and anyone can play. Fab fun"

Sometimes, one team is on fire and it’s clear who’s the winner as one team doesn’t have enough playdough left to model when it’s their turn whereas the other team has a huge pile. Other times, it’s pretty close and we have to weigh the piles to confirm who the winner is! You might like to set a timer so you don’t end up playing all night! Just like most pizza dough recipes, the process for this one is as simple as mix, knead, rest, bake. The only difference is the time involved during the “rest”- in this case, you will only need 10 minutes. Salt: Salt can kill yeast if added at the same time. Don’t add the salt until after it’s rested and you’ve added in the flour. Salt is needed for flavor and structure. Do not stress about forming perfect bases. Patch tears with extra dough. Wonky and bumpy = hidden once baked. Rustic = authentic!The pizza bases can be par-baked then stashed in the freezer for handy pizza-on-demand! Just stretch out the pizza bases per this recipe, and bake for just 2 minutes at 275°C/530°F (all oven types), or as high as your oven will go if it won’t go that high. Use a sweet dip such as Nutella, chocolate spread, chocolate sauce, strawberry coulis or raspberry sauce.

I usually place the dough in the microwave or the oven with a pot of boiling water. The steam will speed up the proofing process. To use the frozen dough, let it thaw completely by keeping it in the fridge overnight. Set the thawed dough on the counter for about half an hour before rolling it out for pizza. You will need a Dutch Oven to bake this bread. A smaller cast iron pot will create a taller loaf while a large one will make a wider loaf.Also, this bodes well with kids because if there’s anything we can all agree on, it’s that when kids are hungry, you have got to get food on the table FAST! There can be as many people in a team as you like and it is not necessary to have exactly the same number in each team, so everyone can play! CONTENTS
