I know being in the kitchen is supposed to be a woman's job but to be honest we men can do a much better job at making food taste nice. -

I think it's more because he doesn't keep enough change to tip the delivery driver.Originally posted by d000hg View PostYes we heard you made your own pizza. We're not interested, please stop telling us how amazing you think you are.

I make my own pizzas now. The final straw came as the cost of the pizza bases alone approached £1 at Sainbury's. Feeble little things they are too. Had I known how cheap pizzas were to buy at Aldi, I may not have invested the time spent learning how to make them myself, but it's actually relatively quick and easy:
- A bag of bread making flour @~50 pence/kg. A 1kg bag is enough to make five 200g pizza bases. 10p.
- A packet of sliced German salami from Adli, these are sliced into squares for the pizza topping. A 99p packet provides enough to make about 10 toppings. 10p
- Cheese. Cheese is around £5/kg if you avoid mainstream supermarkets (not sure about this though, I do know it's bleeding expensive) and the most expensive ingredient since I use far more cheese than you'd get on a supermarket or pizzerier pizza. £variable based on taste.
- Tomatotes, sliced then squared. A £1 bag provides 6 tomatoes, enough for 6 pizzas. 16p
- Onion. These go quite a long way and am not sure of the cost. Say 10p
Method:- Add 115g of warm water to 200g bread flour after having mixed the flour with 1/3 teaspoon of yeast, sugar and salt
- Kneed for a minute or two. This base-making stage takes 10 minutes all told. Leave to rise for a while, say 30 minutes
- Add topping ingredients
- Cook for 10 minutes. At a power setting of say 1kW will cost 1/6 of a kWh at whatever the going price is per kWh. Say 10p
Total time spent preparing: about 20 minutes, though this can be cut if multiple pizza bases are made simultaneously.
Total cost: about 50p + cheese cost.
It takes me longer than that to walk to the shops to buy a horrendously overpriced, cheese deficient thing coated with a veneer of red looking and vomit tasting stuff that has never set eyes on a tomato and was probably made with a chemistry set.
