Pizza Dough

Pizza with skordalia and onion topping
This little  pizza is extremely easy to make, and just as easy to adapt. It uses a quick home-made pizza dough that literally only takes 5 minutes to make - nearly as quick as pulling a frozen one out of the freezer!


Ingredients
1 1/2 cups warm water
2 tsp  dried yeast
1 tsp of caster sugar
4 cups plain flour
Place all ingredients in a bowl. Combine, then knead into a dough. Set aside while you assemble the topping. When ready roll out to fit into your pizza dish, then top and cook in a hot oven (215 degrees C).

Onion Topping
store-bought or home-made skordalia or garlic dip
1 tsp salt
60ml (1/4 cup) olive oil, plus extra for brushing
1 onion 
Slowly caramalise the onion in olive oil to bring out the sweetness of the onion. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
smother the pizza base with skordalia/dip
cover with the caramelised onions.
Bake until the dough is browned through.
