For the show we had sourdough pizza bases, but I also really like the no-knead dough below and it’s much easier for the home cook. If you don’t have a woodfired oven, bake your pizza on trays in a covered barbecue to give the best chance of a lightly charred bottom.
 

Ingredients

270 grams plain flour
1/2 tsp salt
7 grams (1 sachet) dried yeast
200 ml tepid water (body temperature)
1/2-1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

Preparation

Place the flour, salt and yeast in a large bowl. Make a well and add the water, stirring to combine just until it forms a rough dough. Coat with the oil, cover with plastic film and place in the fridge overnight. It will rise, but slowly. The next day divide in two and roll into two evenly sized balls. It’s best to try to hand-stretch the dough to make your pizza bases, but rolling with a rolling pin is easier for the novice.

Spread your bases thinly with oil, smear with a small amount of passata, season with salt and pepper and add cheese if using. Less is more with the ingredients.

My husband is watching your shows religiously and has turned into the rustic gourmet chef of the year. He cooks the most delicous meals! Thankyou! He is out at the moment catching game! He has all his own cookwear and knives and is making a pigpen. Decided to check your recipies out myself and I think I'll try a few, just to keep up. He is also completely obsessed with moving to Tasmania! Not sure to thank you for this yet, will let you know once we're there, I guess!

Fatty casseroles

If you find that your goulash is too fatty either let it rest on the stove for a few minutes and then skim off the fat. If you have a little extra time place the goulash in the fridge and allow the fat to solidify on top of the dish. Remove fat before reheating.
