Pizza

A pizza base is simply made with a bread dough using strong white flour. You can, of course, use brown or wholemeal flours but I find that these stronger-flavoured flours compete too much with the toppings, and also they do not produce the thin, light and crisp Neapolitan-style crust which is ideal. Many commercially bought pizzas have a thick doughy base of bread, but, personally, I much prefer the original Neapolitan crust. Since part of the point of making a pizza is that it is quick and easy, I always use easy-blend dried yeast.
