Pizza dough and bread

[foodfiend]

dd has only one kidney, so we're supposed to watch her salt intake - amazingly difficult. She loves pizza, but ready-made bases are really salty, so I was really keen to try the pizza dough recipe that Jamie Oliver did on Channel 4 last week - it needed an hour to rise but NO KNEADING! Just a tiny pinch of salt - and the results were really great.

It was 1kg of strong flour, 550ml tepid water, 4tbsp olive oil, 2 sachets of dried yeast: mix in bowl, leave somewhere warm. for an hour. Make pizza.

This of course made enough dough for about five pizzas, so I chucked half in the freezer.

Will frozen (after rising) pizza dough be OK? And does anyone know whether you can do a similar bread recipe? I used to love making bread, but just don't have time for the kneading and messing about any more.

Yes best to freeze the dough before rising though.
I would think the very same recipe would make good bread too.

the "frozen after rising" dough will be ok too

it's just that you get more flexibility if you freeze it before rising.
sorry about multiple posts.....multitasking!

Thanks for that - next time I'll do the full kilo again but bung two lots in the freezer before rising it. Will try it for bread. I can't believe I spent all that time hammering dough around unnecessarily!

Oh but the hammering's the best bit

Know what you mean though, sometimes you just don't have the time.
