Lighthouse Pizza Recipes
Artichoke & Pancetta Pizza
Ingredients
1 x Lighthouse Pizza and Focaccia Bread Mix Sachet
1 x Lighthouse Yeast + Sachet
300ml lukewarm water
4 tbsp tomato paste
100g mozzarella
300g marinated artichoke hearts
140g pancetta
40g baby spinach
Shaved parmesan
Method
Place bread mix and yeast in a large bowl. Add lukewarm water and mix with a fork to form dough. Mix further with hands and bring dough together.
Turn out dough onto a well-floured surface and knead for 8-10 minutes until soft and elastic. Add extra flour to prevent dough sticking.
Move dough to a lightly greased bowl, cover with a clean, damp cloth and leave in a warm place until dough doubles in size (approximately 45 minutes). Alternatively, the dough can be prepared in a bread machine using the dough setting.
Preheat oven to 220°C (200°C fan forced).
Turn out dough onto a well-floured surface and knead gently for 1 minute. Divide the dough into two portions and roll each piece to desired thickness.
Spread 2 tbsp of tomato paste on each pizza base. Evenly divide the mozzarella, artichoke hearts and pancetta. Scatter the toppings over the pizza bases and cook for 10-15 minutes.
Remove pizzas from the oven. Garnish with baby spinach and shredded parmesan before serving.
Notes:
Proofing time may vary depending on where the dough is placed. This step is critical in bread making to ensure the yeast produces sufficient aeration so that the bread develops a light, even texture.
