LOCAL CHEF RYAN BROKENBROW'S RECIPE
Prawn & Chorizo Thin Crust Pizza
If you prefer a thin crust follow this dough recipe. I tend to roll my pizza into random shapes but if you prefer it round than keeping turning and rolling when you shape your pizza dough to a thickness of ½ Cm. Crispy Pizza with a good topping is a delight, one using a classic tomato base the other a cream cheese base for a twist and good pairing to juicy king prawns.

Sift in the flour and combine info a dough for 10 mins.
Cover the dough and leave to prove for a minimum of 2 hours. Or you can make up to 48 hours in advance, just slow prove it in the fridge.
When you are ready to use knock the dough back, divide into 2 large or 4 small – roll out with a little extra flour and pop on a baking tray, ready for its toppings.
If you don’t have a stand mixer than sift the flour into a bowl, mix all the other ingredients together than slowly mix the wet ingredients into the flour. You can use a spoon but the best thing is to get your hands in there to combine, then have a little work out by kneading the dough by hand for 5-10 mins. Then follow with stage 3.

- Pizza is a fun way of bringing leftovers back to life and creating another delicious meal, experiment with bits you have left in the fridge, freezer.
