I have a little bit of a confession, even though I try to eat healthy - I am such a junk food junkie at heart! Why does everything that's bad for you have to taste so darn good?! lol.

And, of course, I love pizza! I get random pizza cravings every now and then that just won't leave me alone until I cave into them. Recently one such craving hit and I decided to try and make my own pizza - now, I've done this before, but I've always used the shop bought bases that come ready cut with tomato paste already on. But this time I decided to make it completely from scratch, and boy - am I glad I did! It was delicious! 

Here is the link to the recipe I used for the pizza base : http://www.taste.com.au/recipes/14433/pizza+dough and I used the tomato paste from this recipe : http://www.taste.com.au/recipes/7243/pizza+base+and+tomato+sauce

This is what the dough looks like before it rises:


After about 3 hours : (notice that *someone pinched off a little piece of the dough - I have another confession, whenever there is raw dough with yeast I simply must have a bite. It's gross, I know. LOL)


Then when I was rolling out the dough, I just HAD to throw the dough up in the air like all the Italian chefs do... But of course, I punched a hole in the dough when I caught it on my fist HaHa! And I had to start all over again. Eventually my masterpiece was complete:

Yummy! It was delicious. The only thing I will do differently next time is add even more cheese ;)

Let me know if you try this.
