A recipe for traditional Italian style pizzas!

Pizza Base

Ingredients

• 925gm Pizza Flour (Caputo Nuvola Pizza recommended)
• 550gm Water
• 23gm Fine Salt
• 0.3gm Active Dry Yeast

Method

1. Melt butter in large pot over medium heat, add sliced onions, mix and then cover and cook slowly for 20-30 mins to soften.
2. Remove lid and continue to cook onions till they break down and start to caramelise, approx. 1 hour.
3. Securely tie herbs in a small square of muslin cloth and add to onions with beef stock. Bring to a simmer and continue cooking till stock has reduced by half or until thick, don't forget to mix well to prevent any caramelised onion from sticking to the bottom and burning.
4. Remove herbs and season with salt and pepper to taste.
5. Toast the baguette till golden and top with gruyere and melt. Serve soup in a wide mug or bowl and a side of gruyere baguette.
