Pizza base recipe?
Has anyone a fool proof pizza base recipe?
There's so many on the net I don't know which to chose? |

What kind of base do you want though?
Big difference between the best one for a deep crust compared to a thin n crispy IMO

I doubt you'll find a truly foolproof recipe as it depends on how you like it.
How are you cooking it? How hot is your oven? Do you have a pizza stone or other device to crisp it up? Do you have a bread maker or mixer or are you doing it all by hand? Saying that the Jamie Oliver recipe seems popular. |

It depends on the oven I guess.
I can never get my electric oven to a sufficiently high temperature for pizza crust. The rayburn manages it though - I just have open the flues and get a real roar going, till the top oven is at about 280 degrees, then cook it on the very top set of runners. |

I've used Jamie and a similar one off t'internet.
The key thing is to add the semolina, not just use 100% strong flour. It really makes a difference to the ease of rolling, and the texture once cooked |

Thank you!
I find Jamie Oliver most irritating but will give his recipe a go My oven goes to 220 plus fan, and I will try leaving the combi grill on as well. |
