Pizza with Salami and Mushrooms recipe (Pizza Capricciosa)
Pizza Capricciosa
I love making my own pizzas, and with a little time and effort, you can easily make your own at home. The investment is well worth the effort, because a home made pizza is much, much better than a delivery pizza. Just try it a couple of times and you will never reach for the phone to order pizza ever again.
You can, if you prefer, use a ready made pizza dough, but I prefer to spend a little extra time making my own. It’s not hard, and once you have the basics down, takes very little time. The great thing about making your own pizza is you know exactly what has gone into it. You can use your own preferred ingredients, and with all things food-related, buy the best ingredients you can find/afford for the best results. When I am short of money (most of the time) I would rather use a small amount of good quality ingredients than a lot of poor quality ingredients any day of the week.
ngredients:For the dough:
- 8 oz plain flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon sugar
