Millet-based Pizza Dough RecipeOrigin: African Fusion Period: Modern |
|
This is my own attempt at re-creating a pizza dough using that staple African grain, millet and flavoured with the other West African staple, chillies. Typically for a dough to raise the ratio of millet flour to wheat flour needs to be 1:4, as it is here. Ingredients:
70g whole wheat flour 
Millet-based Pizza Dough Preparation:Method:Combine the whole wheat flour, millet flour and dried yeast together in a bow. Meanwhile, combine the water, salt, olive oil and sugar in a medium saucepan over low heat, stirring continually. Once lukewarm add the chilli powder (if using) and the millet flour mixture and beat until smooth. Immediately take off the heat then beat in enough of the strong bread flour to form a moderately stiff dough. Knead this until smooth then cover and allow to rest for about 10 minutes. Shape the dough into a bowl and place in a lightly-greased bowl, turning it to coat in the oil. Cover and set aside in a warm spot to rise until doubled in volume. Knock the dough back then roll on a lightly-floured work surface until about 28cm in diameter. Cover and allow to rise for 10 minutes then top with your desired toppings. Place in an oven pre-heated to 200°C and bake for about 18 minutes, or until the edges of the base are golden and crisp. Cut into wedges and serve immediately. |
