Pizza was this month’s Daring Bakers’ challenge and it couldn’t make me happier. Oliver and I have tested quite a few pizza dough recipes and we were glad to try out this one and compare it with the others. We found the dough quite easy to work with (although also quite delicate) and the end result great. We pre-cooked the dough until it started to slightly bubble, and then added our toppings. A simple homemade tomato sauce, fresh mozzarella and basil was our pick – simple, bold flavors.. delicious.
You can find the recipe on Rosa‘s blog who kindly put together this challenge.
