Free Pizza - Friday night #fakeaway
FREE Pizza - Toppings of your choice (we went for mozzarella, mature cheddar and basil leaves. Oh and the boys found some slice salami in the fridge to add) I had all the ingredients at home, so didn’t need to buy anything, hence the freebie pizza night. However, as a guess you could buy everything required for less than £2.50 for three large pizzas, which is cheaper than just one of the frozen ones you see at the supermarket. PLUS, you know everything that goes into it…… the healthier option for a junk food fix. With the little lady being at a friends house for dinner, it left just the boys at home, so it seemed perfect for a boys only pizza night! Now this isn’t as mean on my daughter as it sounds with her missing out on pizza. She doesn’t actually like pizza as it happens. So a perfect excuse for us to indulge. Firstly I made up some pizza dough using the recipe found on here.

Ingredients
FREE Pizza - Friday #fakeaway
- Pizza Dough (recipe here)
- 1 Tin chopped tomatoes
- 1 Handful Basil leaves

- 1 clove finely chopped garlic
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- Toppings of your choice, we went for mozzarella, mature cheddar and basil leaves. Oh and the boys found some slice salami in the fridge to add
Instructions
FREE Pizza - Friday #fakeaway
- Firstly I made up some pizza dough using the recipe found here. Whilst that was rising and proving and doing what dough does I started on the tomato sauce.
- After pouring a little oil in a pan, I chucked in the chopped garlic and let it sizzle for a bit without burning. Next in went the tin of tomatoes, some dry oregano and the basil leaves. I turned it down and let it simmer for 10/15 minutes, stirring occasionally to stop it burning.
- Unlike the last time we made this, I decided to blitz the sauce a little. So using my electric hand blender thing, I gave it a quick blitz, just enough to end up with a slightly lumpy paste.
- After splitting the dough into three and rolling to an odd non circle shape, we added some of the tomato sauce and our own toppings.
- After 10/12 minutes in a pre heated oven (180 degrees), we had three free delicious homemade pizzas that would give any takeaway a rub for its money!
TIP ONE :- don’t be fooled into putting too much tomato sauce on, you just need to smear it with the back of a spoon
TIP TWO :- don’t overload with toppings, you will regret it. Trust me…..
