Kitchen Hero: 3L Food Processor with Dicing
Ingredients
- 300g strong bread flour
- 1 tsp instant yeast (from a sachet or a tub)
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tbsp olive oil plus extra for drizzling
- 100ml passata
- handful fresh basil or 1 tsp dried
- 1 garlic clove crushed
- 125g ball mozzarella sliced
-
handful grated or shaved parmesan (or vegetarian alternative)
- handful of cherry tomatoes halved
- handful of basil leaves (optional)
Method
- Add the flour, yeast and salt to the Hamilton Beach 3L Food Processor with Dicing. Add the warm water and olive oil, then use the appropriate setting to combine until a soft dough forms. Knead briefly on a lightly floured surface until smooth.
- Add the passata, basil and garlic to the food processor and pulse until combined. Season to taste and set aside.
- Divide the dough into two balls and roll each one into a thin round, approximately 25cm across. Place onto floured baking sheets.
- Spread the prepared tomato sauce over each pizza base. Use the dicing function to prepare the mozzarella and tomatoes, then scatter over the pizzas and drizzle with olive oil.
- Bake at 240°C/220°C fan/gas 8 for 8–10 minutes, or until the crust is crisp and golden. Finish with fresh basil and a drizzle of olive oil before serving.
