DRAMATIC MUSIC ENDS

-So, Jake, we're going to make a

-pizza. Brilliant.

-From scratch.

-From scratch?

-In under half an hour.

-You mean it's not frozen?

It's not frozen.

Do you know what? It's going to be quicker than picking up a phone

and phoning for one and it coming to your house. It's that quick.

Serves four people and it's really, really easy.

Easy Margherita pizza.

400g tin of chopped tomatoes,

one teaspoon of dried mixed herbs,

one clove of garlic, a pinch of caster sugar,

300g of self raising flour,

one teaspoon of baking powder,

half a teaspoon of salt,

300g of natural yoghurt,

200g of mozzarella.

-Key equipment that you need are scales...

-Mm-hmm.

..a saucepan for your sauce,

a rolling pin and some baking trays

that are already in the oven, cos they've got to preheat.

-The oven's preheated to 220 so it's a really hot oven.

-OK.

And, the baking trays need to be in there already.

-So, first of all, we're going to make the sauce.

-OK.

So, just, the can of tomatoes into the pan.

-How are your cooking skills?

-Terrible.

-Completely terrible?

-Yeah.

Absolutely never even put this in here.

Well, do you know what, today, everything's going to change.

-So, put your...

-I'm literally going to copy you...

-..tin of tomatoes in.

Then, we've got a little thing of garlic.

Just squidge it down so that you've got...

Just so that the skin comes of it and just peel the skin off.

On this side, the fine side of the grater,

you're just going to grate it.

-And, into there.

-In there, yeah?

-Yeah.

Stir with my spoon, I guess.

-And, then we've got some mixed herbs here.

-OK.

-A nice sort of handful.

-A bit of salt.

-Bit of salt.

Nice bit of pepper. That's it.

-We're doing all right cos it looks the same.

-Yeah, exactly the same.

Mine probably looks better than yours actually, already.

-It's already a competition!

-It's going to be...

Can you imagine if mine turned out well better than yours?

-Well, it might well do.

-You're going to be well embarrassed!

-So, you've got a little thing of sugar.

-All right.

And, just put in

-a nice couple of...

-Fingers.

-..pinches.

And, then we're going to let that boil away.

It's going to bubble down and get thicker.

-I don't have any scales.

-Do you not?

-No.

-Do you know what?

This is what... I just don't measure up. So, I read it and I go...

"I guess that's about that"

Get your flour. It's about 300g.

-Do you know that you can pick up scales for less than a fiver?

-Right.

So, they're not expensive.

-So, 300 of flour.

-OK.

-Self-raising flour.

And, then a nice teaspoon of baking powder.

-Just one?

-Yeah.

Like a tip of a teaspoon of salt.

And, just stir it in.

-Like that....

-So it's almost... Yeah, perfect.

And, then, on your scales,

we need 300 of yogurt.

Right, so that's all into here.

Just start mixing it and then we're going to get our hands in there.

Just grab those bits of flour all around the side, can you see?

-Yeah.

-That's it.

You've got it in an incredible ball and mine's just all over my hands.

That's fine, you're... It will go like that in a minute, honestly.

Keep going.

And just push it round the edges.

So, we're going to...

get some flour on to our board. Roll it around.

Knead it a bit so it's nice and soft, a nice, soft ball.

And, so, once you got a nice ball of dough, cut it in half,

and then into quarters.

And, it doesn't have to be accurate. It doesn't matter.

Roll it into a little ball

with your rolling pin.

-Now, roll.

-Here we go.

And, it doesn't matter if it's not a full circle,

it's fine if you're making a rustic pizza.

So, that's done. Lovely. OK?

-So, now, we're going to go to the oven.

-Ah!

Right, and then, just get your pizza.

-So, just whack that on there, yeah?

-Yeah.

There you go. And, into the oven.

There we go. That's in for about 2-3 minutes.

So, what we do, turn it around that way

and you take your sauce.

-As you say, bang it on.

-Just bang it on.

-Just bang that on.

Then we've got our lovely cheese.

I'm actually really impressed with myself already.

You can put a little bit of black pepper.

That's cos I like it.

A few more herbs.

That just goes back in the oven for about five minutes and you're done.

Perfect!

So, that's it. Five minutes.

-And, then we eat them?

-Yeah.

-Boom!

THEY LAUGH

They've been in the oven for five minutes, so you think about that.

You've phoned up, you've looked at what you want on the pizza thing,

you've phoned it and you're still waiting for it.

Ours are out, and hot, and fresh and healthy.

-So, shall we cut it?

-Yeah.

-Do you want to cut yours pizza-style?

-Do you want to try mine and I'll try yours?

-OK.

There's your bit. All right?

-It's brilliant! It's delicious!

-Oi-oi.

-Jake, it's ace! Good, isn't it?

-Mm-hmm.

So, there you go.

-Less than half an hour. Really fresh, healthy

-pizza. Delicious.

Yeah, for you and your mates.
