Method:
Handy Tip: Prepare your dough earlier in the day so youcan enjoy your prosecco themed party celebrations later in the evening.
In a bowl, measure out the ingredients using our1024 WHDR14Digital Kitchen Scales with Dual Pour Mixing Bowl, then mix the flour and salt together and in a separatebowl, add the yeast into the water.
Save heaps of time when preparing your dough by using ourEK4245GUNMETAL stand mixerwhich has 6 speed settings and a dough hook or alternatively,knead by hand on your kitchen countertop.
Switch on your stand mixer to a medium-high speed and then pour inyour liquid. Watch as your mixture begins to form a ball. If you find that thebottom of your mixture is sticking, add in 1-2 tablespoons of flour, let yourdough knead for approx. 8 minutes until the texture is shiny but springy (maybetest this by removing the dough onto your kitchen counter and see if it springsback into place after pressing your finger into it). If making by hand, kneadyour mixture for 10 minutes until slightly sticky. Be careful not to add toomuch flour to your mixture as this will ruin your Pizzeria-style crust.
With oiled hands, remove your dough and gently place into another lightlygreased bowl, then cover tightly with clingfilm. Place in a draught-free areaand leave to rise; this could take between 2-4 hours. When risen, punch it downfirst and bring it together on a lightly floured surface. When complete, separateyour dough accordingly and roll each serving so that it forms a flat circularbase, this will then serve as a blank canvas for your pizza toppings. Separate each base with non-stick baking paperstacking them onto a plate and leave to chill in the fridge until you’re readyto eat/ your guests arrive.
For the toppings, melt two tablespoons of butter into a pan over amedium heat. Add the onions and stir so they are covered. Cook for 15 minutes andstir every 5 to avoid burning, if they begin to burn, add a tablespoon of waterinto the mix. Add 2 more tablespoons ofbutter and add the apple slices, then stir for another 10 minutes until soft.Remove from the heat when finished.
Cover the top of your pizza base with tomato paste, then add the goat’scheese and mozzarella along with the onion/apple mixture.
Get your pizza oven up to temperature (heatingup to 500°C in 10 minutes) by adding wood pellets or alternatively,preheat your oven to 200°C and add your pizza. Remove after 10-15 minutes.
When ready and fresh out to the oven, cut intogenerous slices using our high precisionBW11387EU7 pizza cutter.
With recipes THIS good, you won’t ever have to order apizza delivery again, but if for some reason this doesn’t tickle your tastebuds,turn your pizza into a Brooklyn-style feast by adding a meat of your choice forthe topping, i.e., pepperoni, BBQ grilled chicken or shrimp.
Finally, it’s time to make the party pop and not just with a cork!
Decorate your garden with fairy lights and get your ice buckets forthe fizz at the ready. If you’ve decided to host a party, avoid calling theevent ‘Pizza Mania’; this won’t attract anybody. Why not add a glamorous spin ona ‘pizza with bottomless prosecco themed party’ which is guaranteed to be asuccess? Ifyou’re entertaining guests, make sure to create a pizza topping station,whether out in the garden or in the dining room, lay out a variety of dipping sauces,chilli flakes, additional veg and garnishes i.e., basil, rocket or chives, for allto get involved.
