Served off with parsley, salt and pepper, and a spoonful of sweet, hot jalapenos, and two rounds of burnt toast.

Making pizza.

Dough has risen once, now going back under the cling film to rise again.

Used wholemeal bread flour as I didn’t have any of my usual white. Didn’t use as much semolina flour as usual, either, but what was leftover. Mainly pasta flour and some white rye.

Salt, sugar, honey, olive oil all added to the mix (along with yeast and hand hot water, obvs).

A round ball of dough rests in a mixing bowl, showing some surface cracks.

My first attempt at a very simple recipe my Mum used to make fifty years ago.

Little kid: “I like onion and cheese [crisps]!”

Me: “Cheese and onion pie?”

Little kid: " Eugh!"
