Steps

1

Mix all the dry ingredients and the oil, then slowly start adding the luke warm milk a little at a time.
2

Get it to a soft dough, the softer the better, knead it very well for at least 10 minutes or more if possible.
3

Dab a touch of oil all over the dough, then cover it and place it somewhere warm.
4

Leave it to rise to double its size, takes about 40 minutes to an hour depending on the weather.
5

Once risen, punch it down, give it a quick knead and then roll it out to about 12 inches diameter and place on your greased pizza pan or pizza tray.
6

Cover the tray with a light cloth and let the base rest/rise slightly for about 15-20 minutes.
7

In the meantime, preheat the oven at 180C.
8

Make small slits on the base using the tip of a sharp knife. This helps prevent the pizza base from puffing up too much.
9

Apply a thin layer of pizza sauce, then sprinkle a handful or more of the grated cheese.
10

Next spread out the minced meat, onions, red and green bell peppers carefully.
11

Do not overload the pizza as too much weight from the toppings could stop the base from rising/cooking well during baking.
12

Sprinkle the remainder of the shredded cheese over the toppings and then drizzle a bit of ketchup or chilli sauce for a spicy kick.
13

Bake for about 45-50 minutes or until golden and bubbly.

The more I learn about nutrition the more I’ve come to realize that the most important factor for healthy eating is to avoid processed food and focus on using real ingredients. And the best way to do this? Cook for yourself as much as you can.
