Tasty Tuesday - Apple & Cinnamon Individual Pizzas

 I had a magazine page that I'd pulled out yonks ago with this recipe on it. They looked delicious but every time I looked at the recipe I got scared of the fact you had to make your own pizza dough. That's why I feel so chuffed to share this recipe, I made my own dough! Oh, and they were super scrummy. Enjoy xox


Perfect Pizza Base
1 cup warm water
8g dried yeast
1t caster sugar
2 1/2 cups plain flour
1t salt

1.  In a small jug, combine water, yeast and sugar. Stand in a warm place for 10 minutes until mixture is frothy.
2. Sift flour and salt into a large bowl. Blend in yeast mixture to form a soft, sticky dough. Knead dough on a lightly floured surface for 5-10 minutes, until it's smooth and elastic.
3. Place dough in a large, oiled bowl. Cover with plastic wrap. Leave to rise in a warm place for 1 hour, until dough doubles in size. Knock down dough to remove air. Knead into a smooth ball. Continue as required.

Apple and cinnamon individual pizzas
1 quantity pizza dough (recipe above)
2 apples, peeled, cored and thinly sliced
1/2 cup brown sugar
1t ground cinnamon
50g butter, melted
Icing sugar and ice cream to serve

1.  Preheat over to 200 degrees celcius. Lightly grease 2 baking trays.
2. Divide dough into 8 equal portions. Roll each portion on a lightly floured surface into 10cm rounds. Place on prepared trays.
3. Arrange apple over bases. Sprinkle with combined sugar and cinnamon. Drizzle on butter.
4. Bake 25-30 minutes, until golden. Dust with icing sugar and serve with ice-cream.
