Dominos is actually quite tasty... provided you collect it yourself ::) adding extra toppings is no biggie either :y

Certainly no shame in adding a bag of grated mozzarella and smoked bacon and an egg to a freezer bought meat feast though ::)

I'm with you on this Your Grace!!  :y

My favourite is Pizza Express Sloppy Giuseppe from the supermarket with a bit of extra cheddar chucked on! Yum!!!  :y :y :y

+1 for that!

I usually buy the Farmfoods "3 for £3" "pepperoni"(supposedly) but I add ensona hot chilli sauce, BBQ sauce, extra mature cheddar, salami, pepperoni, chicken, bacon, mixed peppers, ham, onion, more cheese, and sometimes donner meat (which I buy, once a year from a local, reasonably high class wholesaler, as a whole lump - then slice, slow oven cook, and freeze).

Donner meat pizza!! Mmmmmm!  :-* :-* :-*  Have to be really pissed for that one though!  :o  :D  ;D

We have a whole different class of Yoof round here ;D put it this way, whenever we try and get Dominos delivered here it is usually free as by the time said yoof has failed to find the address and taken the pizza back to the shop, I have to go and fetch it, and it's barely luke warm ;D breakless retards ::)

Thec speeds they fly around town at, the pizzas should be burnt from re entry >:(

Four breadmaker cups of wholemeal flour.
1.5 teaspoons of fast acting yeast.
3 tablespoons of sugar.
1 tablespoon of unsalted melted butter.
1.3 breadmaker cups of water.
Use the doe setting on your breadmaker which will take about 1.5 hours.

Use wholemeal flour to stop it sticking and roll out to make two 16" pizzas. I use the back of a circular steel bar tray for this which is perfect. Cover the pizzas bases with a cloth to allow them to rise a bit while you prepare the rest of the ingredients.

Put your pizza stone in the oven at set it to the highest setting on mine that is 240degC to pre-heat the stone and oven.

Take one tub of tomato passata and place in a bowl add basil, mixed herbs and crushed garlic to taste and heat in the microwave for 3 minutes. This makes enough tomato base for 6 pizzas.

Briefly cook chopped mushrooms in olive oil with crushed garlic and (optional) finely chopped chillies.

(Optional) finely chop a red onion. This adds a subtle onion flavour and slight crunch to the pizza which I like.

Prepare other toppings, I usually use three thinly slice large tomatoes per pizza.

Grate cheese, I usually use part of a 1kg block of mild cheddar.

Take the heated pizza base from the oven, add a pizza base, spread the tomato base thin and evenly over the pizza, add 1/2 the mushrooms, onion, tomato and grated cheese and cook in the oven for 13 minutes. Repeat with the second pizza or more if you have made more pizza bases.

To prepare the ingredients and cook the two pizzas takes about an hour. What you aren't going to use, leave to cool optionally quarter and wrap in cling film and place in your freezer. To reheat place the base uppermost and zap for 20 seconds and then turn over and zap the top for about 60 seconds.

Proper delicious homemade pizza at less than £1 each.

I'm sure your pastry chef will do a fine job M'lud.
Do we follow it word for word rod......We have the bread maker..but no pizza stone.....

Yes, make sure you prepare all of the topping ingredients, before you put the pizza base on a baking tray and then add them as quickly as possible and get it into the oven. You will probably need a slightly longer cooking time without a pizza stone, so try 15 minutes. The biggest advantage of the pizza stone where it starts heating the base as you put the topping on is that you can end up with the top of the pizza base being a bit doey using a baking tray. One of my refinements was heating the pizza tomato base in the microwave for 3 minutes as it is hot and it thickens up the sauce to also help minimise this.

Let us know how you get on and any innovations that you find as I'm always keen to try new ideas and toppings.

Don't make the mistake I did when I first went to use the pizza stone of adding the topping to the base and then trying to add the lot to the sone and ended up with a pile of pizza and topping in the middle of the stone.  :-[

If you find that making regular pizzas is for you, the stones are quite cheap:

I made my own paddle for transferring the pizza to a plate once cooked using a piece of surplus white faced hardboard with a beveled front edge and a piece of wood screwed on at an angle as a handle.
