Naribu

Went for dinner on Thursday at an unnamed Hollywood location in London. I'm afraid a lady never eats and tells where..
Apart from glitz and glam, pizza was on the menu. Dave and Chris are constantly evolving their dish so rather than deja dough this is Puff Pastry: Part Deux.

Dough. 1kg strong White bread flour. Full works. Just over a pint of tepid water. 3x 1.5 sachets of yeast. Level table spoon of salt. Same of brown sugar. Plus 3 tbls olive oil. Put the yeast on the water and leave it to stand for a min. Make a volcano of your ingredients. Let's hope there's no planes flying round my kitchen!

Create a crater in the volcano and pour in some of the water, mix with a fork to create a yeasty lava. Keep adding the water and slowly bring it together to make a dough. Knead for 5 mins vigorously until it turns elastic and silky. Put into a bowl. Cover in clingfilm. Leave to prove in a warm cupboard until it DOUBLES in size! Then knead again and shake it out to whatevs you desire.

Dave chopped all the toppings up to throw them on a base of puree.
I think you probably do need a boyfriend for this meal as there was a lot of team work. Anyone want to make one with me?


Most of the ingredients went on as they were but he par fried the bacon and par boiled the asparagus. Then cracked a few eggs on it and set it off.

They managed to keep going me with crisps till it was ready. Top tip: Keep crisps cold in fridge! Apparently it adds an extra dimension to them so you don't eat as fast and thus as many. Didn't stop me!
