Pizza Bulgaria

If there is such a thing. We don't have take a ways here, we have the ability to take home food from VT but only when we are there shopping as its a 45 min drive. So no fast food deliveries to our house, which is great as it stops us being lazy & means when we eat out it is out & a treat. Even so sometimes the equivalent cooked at home is a treat too. Hence Pizza.
We love this thin crust pizza & I made two for a friends BBQ party & it all went before we had a chance to grab a slice. It generated lots of compliments too. Obviously this is pizza so use whatever you fancy.
Pizza Dough   I use a bread machine to make my dough.
To make A medium size pizza
5fl oz Water
1 tbsp Extra virgin Olive oil
8 oz Bread Flour
1 tsp Salt
1/2 tsp Granulated sugar
1/2 tsp Dry yeast
Place the ingredients in the machine in list order, put the sugar & salt in seperate corners & the yeast in a well in the centre. Set machine to dough only.Topping


Tomato passatta, puree, paste etc. I use passatta as I don't like it too strong!
Garlic crushed & chopped or/& onion sliced 
Mozzarella cheese
Spicy sausage or salami, sliced
Cirene/feta cheese, crumbled
Red & Green Peppers, sliced or diced
Yellow or Cheddar cheese, grated
Tomato slices
Olive oil
Dried Basil
Can add sliced mushroom
When the dough is ready knock it back gently on a floured surface. Roll out the dough & putting your hand in the center hang the dough over it & stretch it. As you can see from the photos it doesnt have to be a nice shape, round or square lol.
Place on an oiled oven pan. Spread a thin layer of tomato paste over the dough.
Sprinkle over garlic/onion. Crumble over cirene/feta cheese, peppers, then meat, mozzarella, tomato & cheddar. Sprinkle over basil & drizzle with olive oil.
 Bake in pre heated oven 220c (200c fan) for 15 - 20 mins till cheese has melted & dough is cooked.
