Pizza dough... How do you add stuff?

7 replies

DD wants pizza and i have a basic recipe but DH likes chillies in his dough and DS is requesting cheese in his dough and a cheese crust. Do i just add them to base mix or do i need to recalculate something to make it still prove correctly?
Can u tell i am not good at this cooking business?

I would just tell them to add chillies/cheese in their topping. What are you? Their personal pizza chef!?

Hmm. Or else I would mix the dough and then add the various fusspot ingredients in portions of the dough. I expect it will prove fine.

I would just put the chillies in and hope for the best but I wouldn't be making a cheese crust. That will be tricky as it will have to be sealed really well or it will just ooze out.

I make a lot of pizzas, but wouldn't mess with the base. I would also just add their extras as toppings.

My kids want a cheesy crust - I am going to try making the crust wider than it needs to be sprinkle cheese around the edge and roll it over.

Chilli in the base - I would sprinkle them in the dough as I was shaping it. Any complaints and he would be making his own.

I wouldn't mess with the base either. Just add chilli and more cheese as a topping.

Thanks for all your replies.
I added some sundried tomato and chillies to the base and it was lush. A bit of a palava though and next time will just add to the base. I decided not to make a cheese crust.
You are right upto, i have many talents but pizza expert aint one. Although it did taste quite nice.

add cheese to the dough!
I often add herbs / tomato puree / pesto to good effect. have tried cheesy crust but it is a bit of faff.
