Okay so the premise is this: I cannot make bread.

Long ago I accepted that combining flour, water, yeast and salt just wasnt meant to be. I have wasted kilos of flour trying to make bread and everytime it has fallen flat <literally> until today!

The recipe below is WORKS. Just try it and you will not be disappointed.

Obviously any toppings you like will do, I used:

Pesto, cooked sausage, cheese and sweetcorn

Ingredients:

500g bread flour 

350ml warm water

packet of easy blend yeast <7g>

25ml olive oil

1 tablespoon of sugar

1 teaspoon of salt

Method:

Mix the water and oil with sugar and salt and stir.

Put the yeast and flour in a mixing bowl, add the water mixture and using a wooden spoon stir until it forms a dough then turn out onto a floured surface and knead for 10 minutes. If you're using a machine then a dough hook should take about 8 minutes. 

Place in an oiled bowl, cover with clingflim and leave it alone for an hour until it's balloned and is alien looking.

Preheat the oven to the hottest it will go.

Turn out the dough onto a floured surface and divide into four balls,  then roll out and add whatever toppings you like. 

Takes about 8 minutes in the oven and eat.
