Fast Pizza Dough (no rise)

Makes a 10-12-inch crispy pizza base.

Double this recipe if there are two hungry eaters - eat it simply topped with Napoli sauce and buffalo mozzarella garnished with fresh basil leaves to take you back to Italy, or try my lamb souvlaki version to cover two countries in one bite (Greece and Italy). If you're of Irish heritage how about a thin spread of Napoli sauce, buffalo mozzarella covered with thin sliced cooked potato rosemary and caramelised onions. Really top it with whatever you please, the joy with this dough is that there's no waiting around. Just knead, roll, top and bake and you’ve got a tasty street style pizza in a flash.

Probably quicker than you can call the delivery man.

1/2 cup lukewarm water

1/2 tsp dried yeast

1/2 tsp honey

11/2 cups plain flour or bakers' flour 1/2 tsp salt

1. 2.

Mix your water, yeast and honey and leave to sit for 10 minutes.

After 10 minutes mix in your salt and flour. If you need more water add it a trickle at a time, or alternatively add a sprinkle more flour as you go. The aim is to get a silky dough.

Knead it for a few minutes and let it sit for 5 minutes or longer. If you're in a hurry, that's cool, but if you have time let it sit for an hour to develop a stronger flavour. but honestly, it's a super great versatile dough either way.
