For The Pizza Base Main Toppings Optional Toppings

1. Start by boiling water in a kettle, leaving to cool.
2. In a large bowl, combine the flour, salt, yeast, and butter. Using clean hands or a wooden spoon, mix the ingredients until they are evenly combined and resemble coarse crumbs.
3. In a separate bowl or jug, whisk together the water and milk (water should be lukewarm by now). Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until a dough forms.
4. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 5-8 minutes, or until the dough is smooth and elastic.
5. Leave the dough to rise slightly for 10 minutes.
6. Weigh the dough, then split into individual portions depending on your serving size.
7. Roll the dough out until thin and pizza shaped (you can use an upturned plate as a sizing template)
8. Preheat the oven to 220°C (428°F) and spread the tomato puree over the base, followed by the cheese and any additional toppings.
9. Cook for between 12-15 minutes and serve immediately.
