Hey folks it is Barry welcome to my virgin kitchen little bit of edible nostalgia for
you today I am thinking of doing more nostalgic recipes any ideas you have let me know down
below today is a baked bean pizza now when I was growing up these were absolutely amazing
it is such a simple thing a baked bean pizza but it tastes phenomenal I think they did
a sausage one too so I am going to bring it back and show you my version if you would
like to have a go hit pause on the video now write down the ingredients the full ingredients
and method are on my website myvirginkitchen.com so right here that I am playing with for no
reason is some strong bread flour, this is dried yeas about seven grams of that, we pour
that in first of all and then take a pinch of salt little mix together, alright that
will do so we will just make a little well, sorry force of habit not doing giant foods
so will carry on normally, this is some lukewarm water, 300ml of that and then this is a tablespoon
of olive oil, so get the fork in the well we made and work it together, creating our
dough, when you first get it like this it may look ripped and like ribbons that is fine
just get it to that stage and now we can knead away.
So I have got some more flour on the board and all we are going to do is knead it for
a good five minutes we need to knead.
It actually feels quite warm because of the water it is like warm playdoh in your hands,
alright happy with the dough so lets get cling film on the top, this is going to take a while,
I hate this, alright so this is a damp cloth we will put that in a warm space for an hour
and it will double in size.
Now of course waiting for it to rise for an hour you have some time to kill, so walk your
pug, tidy or just have a nap if you want, yeah.
Alright it is time to reveal look how big that has risen it is more than double I reckon
and you can see the bubbles in there lets get the cling film off and we are going to
have to knock it back so it will go down a bit.
Sticking the flour in half so have half the dough and get more flour on it, then we can
start to roll it out and shape it into a pizza base, it will move pretty well as it is warm
and flexible right now but go a little larger than you want it to be as it will shrink back
in.
So once happy with the pizza shape give it a brush of oil if you like it does not have
to be a perfect circle it would be cool to make it rustic I am sitting on my shovel so
I can stone bake it but if using in an oven on a baking tray sit on your oven right now
to make it easier for your toppings.
We get a good layer of grated cheddar cheese on first of all, next up we take our baked
beans and spoon it on, now I have drained off the tin slightly because you do get quite
a little bit of sauce in every tin, you do not want it too wet so get the beans on there
and spread out nice and evenly, just a few slices of mozzarella ball on there and if
you like you can add herbs but for me it is oven time.
My oven has a woodfire oven mode it is sat on a pizza stone so should be ready in about
4 minutes, but if baking on a standard tray give it about 15 minutes.
Alright then folks straight from the oven that stone is super hot, so give it a minute
before transferring to a board.
Check that out.
The smell in here is incredible and I hope you agree it is looking gorgeous the other
thing is when you used to bite into these it would be like putting a furnace in your
mouth so take your time and it will be worth it.
Oh all sliced up lets have a taste.
Words cannot express how excited I am to try this right now, I am almost as excited as
the day I had my two children, almost.
Here we go oh my gosh.
