Whenever I ask family about dinner preferences, pizza frequently emerges as the easy favorite. The topping of choice is chicken, sweet corn, and BBQ sauce. Preferring not to purchase store-bought sauce due to its sometimes artificial taste, I enlisted my family's help to find an easy BBQ sauce recipe online. We experimented with various recipes and ultimately created our own unique blend. It was a hit with the family, and now it's our go-to sauce for pizzas.
Although I occasionally use pre-made pizza bases, I also enjoy making my own dough. My go-to recipe for quick pizza dough uses baking powder instead of yeast, eliminating the lengthy wait for the dough to rise.
Pizza Dough:
6 dl of flour
2 tsp of baking powder
1.5 tsp of salt
100 g of butter
2 dl of milk
BBQ Sauce:
1 cup of ketchup
1 cup of water
3 tbsp of balsamic vinegar (or apple cider vinegar)
3 tbsp of brown sugar
1/2 tbsp of fresh ground black pepper
1/2 tbsp of onion powder
1 tsp of garlic powder
1 tsp of smoked paprika
1/2 tsp of ground cumin
1/2 tsp of ground coriander
1/2 tbsp of ground mustard
1 tbsp of lemon juice
1.5 tbsp of Worcestershire sauce
Salt and pepper to taste
Topping:
Grated cheese,
Diced grilled chicken breast,
Sweetcorn.
Method:
1- Preheat the oven to 210°C.
2- Begin by combining flour, salt, and baking powder in a large bowl. Incorporate the butter and milk, starting with a wooden spoon and eventually using your hands to mix it into a dough. Adjust with additional flour or milk if necessary. Then, transfer the dough onto a floured surface, knead for a few minutes, and shape it into a round ball.
3- Lightly flour the surface and roll the dough into your desired shape. I typically shape it into a square for easy cutting of uniform pieces.
Although the photo below shows a pre-made base, I normally use this recipe for pizza dough.
Enjoy!
