Make a dough?
You can get some mixes that you just add water to.

You can't buy them. They are ''authentic'' because they make them from scratch. Why don't you have a go? It doesn't take as long as you'd think.

I've used the packet stuff before and it's been fine, just add water.
Really nice crispy thin base, as nice as you'd get in a resturant.

Two hours??? What the hell are you doing???

I think it takes me (including kneading the dough) around 1/2 hour start to finish. That's including 15-20 mins in oven...

Buy the ready mix packets.

I avoid ready mixes as they tend to be full of e numbers, flour enhancer,monosodium glutamate and nasty poisons.

It takes two hours to prove the yeast.

Just having a look on the back of my Sainsbury's Pizza ready mix:

Ingredients

Wheat Flour, Hydrogonated and Non Hydrogonated Oils, Yeast, Dexrtose & Salt...


That's it, no E numbers, No MSG (which I am allergic to)...


I approve of this and I am Italian.....That's got to count for something here....

Just go to any pizza house or Italian restaurant that makes their own and ask for a lump of their dough. They'll either give you some or charge you a couple of quid.
Admittedly i've only ever done this in the States but I can't see why you couldn't do it over here?

bollocks!
It takes 10 minutes to let the yeast, sugar and oil ferment. It take 10 minutes to mix the yeast mixture and the flour and water.
It takes atleast 10 minutes to kneed the dough.
It takes about 1 hour to proof the dough.
It takes another couple of minutes to knock back and need the dough again.
It takes a couple of minutes to roll out the dough into bases.
It takes another 30 mins to let the dough re-proof
It takes between 5-20 mins to cook the pizza - depending on size/thickness of base and the cooking method.

Try the Pilsbury Pizza Kit

Here's one of my experiences using it
