Servings: 8

Ingredients

  • 300 g Strong white bread flour
  • 7 g Fast action yeast
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • 1 tsp Caster sugar
  • 150 ml Warm water
  • 1 tbsp Olive oil
  • 150 g Softened butter
  • 50 g Garlic cloves finely chopped
  • ½ Bunch of fresh parsley finely chopped
  • 50 g Gruyere
  • 75 g Semolina

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 220℃. Make sure to have two large oven trays in the oven so that they are hot for when the time comes to bake the breads.
  • In a large mixing bowl add the strong white bread flour, fast action yeast, salt and caster sugar. Mix well.
  • Pour in the tepid (warm) water and olive oil, then use a wooden spoon to mix it until a flaky dough starts to form.
  • Bring it together with your hands, then tip the dough out onto a floured surface and knead it for about ten minutes.
  • After 10 minutes the dough should be soft and not sticky.
  • Place it into a bowl and cover it with cling film. Set it aside in a warm place for about an hour or until it has doubled in size.
  • Once it has doubled in size, knead it again for a minute or so to knock all of the air out.
  • Cut the dough into 8 equal sized portions then use your hands to form each portion into a smooth ball.
  • Use semolina to roll each piece out to about 15 cm, the semolina will give it a nice crisp.
  • Place the rolled out dough onto baking paper and set aside for 20 minutes.
  • Meanwhile you can prepare the garlic butter. In a bowl add the softened butter, chopped garlic and chopped parsley. Mix well until it is well combined.
  • Spread the garlic butter over the middle of each piece of dough leaving a 1 cm border around the edge.
  • Grate gruyere over the top of each one.
  • Place the breads onto the hot trays from the oven and bake for about 10 minutes until they are golden and crisp.
  • Enjoy! You can reheat these later on by covering them in tin foil and placing into the oven for 4-5 minutes.

    This is my go-to pizza base recipe. Lovely and crisp and chewy and so versatile. It works fantastically as a recipe for individual garlic pizza breads, of course, but now I like to divide the dough into 4 and make full-on pizzas with homemade sauce. This recipe is on my weekly rotation now….ok maybe more than once a week but who are you to judge me! Anyways full stars from me. Thank you!
