Ham Bacon and Cheese Pizza



I am someone who likes cooking and dont mind taking pictures but then to write a post and blog about it, well that is totally a different matter.
When I make something and if I think it will be a good food to post I click the pictures, download to my computer and it stays there without me touching it for months.
I even have things to post from last year.
I made this pizza and took a picture fast as the pizza was delicious. While hubby and daughter was enjoying their first piece I went to the kitchen with my plate and took some 3 pictures and came back to the table to enjoy the dinner with them.
I made two pizza one with tomato and mushrooms and one with Ham and bacon and you can imagine which one disapeared first the latter one.
The other day I was talking to my sis and telling her about the delicious pizza I made and the dough she was like you should post it so I can also make and that was two weeks back and I am only posting this because she was telling me yesterday she want to make this weekend, so here I am lazily writting a post about pizza.

The recipe for the dough is from Taste Italia Magazine I am always looking forward to get my Magazine in the post and I love the magazine, the recipes and pictures are so good.

Put the yeast , salt and water into a small bowl and whisk intill combined.
Gradually whisk in olive oil, then leave in a warm place for 10 minutes, untill the mixture starts to bubble.

Add the flour and knead for 15 minutes ( if you have a machine use it ), untill the dough is ealstic..
Rub the inside od a bowl with oil, roll the dought around the bowl to coat, then place the bowl, cover and leave for 1- 1 1/2 hours, untill doubled size.

Punch down the dought to release any trapped air, then place on a baking tray lined with grease proof paper .
