Solar Powered Pizza Recipe

Below is my favorite pizza recipe. I use the electrical oven on board, which is solar powered via the inverter. When making this pizza in Norway, it would be hydropowered pizza, and be just as good. No Pizza stone required.

Ingredients (serves 4):

For crust:

1. 400 gram whole wheat flower (e.g. Number 110)
2. Package of yeast
3. pinch of salt
4. 30 ml olive oil (optional)
5. 150 ml water
6. baking paper

For sauce

1. Canned tomatoes
2. jar of pesto

For Toppings

NB. Toppings shown below are a mere suggestion. Go wild here with your favorite toppings.

1. Feta cheese or blue cheese
2. mushrooms
3. tuna or anchovies
4. bell pepper
5. union

Preparation

I usually make the crust in the bread machine, or the kitchen machine. Add the flower, yeast, salt, optional olive oil and water and knead the dough. You are looking for a consistency where the dough does not stick, and there are no lumps. If the dough sticks too much, add flower, if there are lumps and it does not mix, add water. Now separate the dough in two lumps, and roll out on the kitchen paper. If you did not add olive oil, the dough will be a little bit sticky, so use some flower between the baking paper and dough, and dough and bread roller (nb wine, whiskey etc bottle will work equally well). Roll the dough out in round, pizza sized shapes and leave to rise. If you are a fan of thin crusts, as little as 5 minutes can be sufficient, or if you like tick crusts, you may have to wait up to 40 minutes. For a thicker crust, consider adding a little bit of honey to the crust, to help the yeast. Bake the crust for 5 minutes at 175 degrees, flip the crusts and bake on the other side for an additional 5 minutes.

Mix the tomatoes and pesto together for the sauce. Prepare the toppings by slicing them thin. Now all you need to do, is spread the sauce on the crusts, and add the toppings. Bake in the oven for an additional 10 minutes at 175 degrees or until the cheese melts.
