serves: 4 | prep: 1:20 | cook 0:10
ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups (375ml) warm water
- 1 tsp honey
- 2 tsp (7g sachet) yeast
- 4 cups (600g) plain flour
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/4 cup (60ml) olive oil
- 1 cup tomato pasta sauce
- 250g pkt shredded pizza cheese
- 1 carrot
- 28 black olives
method
- Combine water, honey and yeast in jug or bowl. Set aside for 3-4 minutes until foamy. In the bowl of a stand mixer with a dough hook, combine flour and salt. Add yeast mixture and olive oil and knead for 10 minutes until dough is soft and elastic. Place in a large oiled bowl, cover with a tea towel, and set aside in a warm place for 1 hour until doubled in size.
- Preheat oven to 250C (230C fan-forced). Knock back dough, turn out onto a floured surface and divide into four even portions. Working with one portion at a time, divide it in half, and then divide one half again into two uneven pieces, approx one-third and two-third. Roll these three balls out into three circles. Line a large tray with baking paper. Place the largest circle on the bottom half of the tray. Place the medium-sized circle just overlapping. Place the smallest circle on top to form the head.
- Spread some of the tomato sauce over the three circles of dough. Sprinkle with cheese. Cut carrot into four even wedges.
- Place two olives for eyes and five more for buttons down the body of the snowman. Place one carrot wedge for the nose. Bake for 8-10 minutes until cheese is golden and bubbly, and base is cooked through. Repeat with remaining ingredients.
notes
- If you don’t have a stand mixer, you can knead the dough by hand. Combine flour and salt in a large bowl, form a well in the centre, then add yeast mixture and oil and bring together to form a sticky dough. Turn out onto a floured surface and knead for 10 minutes until soft and elastic, adding a little more flour as required.
- If you don’t wish to make four pizzas, roll out remaining dough and par-bake for 3-4 minutes. Allow to cool, then wrap well and freeze until needed.
