First attempt

So seeing all the pizzas on here gave me inspiration to start something. It was Friday and I needed something productive to do. I followed this recipe which I saw on here https://www.kingarthurbaking.com/recipes/artisan-no-knead-pizza-crust-recipe.

I've got a normal oven and no other equipment, just one of those round trays you cook frozen/chilled pizzas on. I didnt even have any mozzarella so I just grated some cheddar, added pepperoni, jalapeños and red onion. The tomato sauce was a tin of chopped tomatoes (not sure if we have "crushed" tomatoes in the UK?) but it seemed way too watery so I simmered it down and added oregano and fresh garlic. Same day dough and cooking.

It was incredibly difficult to shape into a circle, the dough was very sticky, even with well floured surfaces. Sort of managed it, then the oven seemed hot enough but I was worried about burning the cheese at such a high heat. When it came out I thought the crust was under-done, the whole pizza was cooked but just looked quite pale. Same as underneath, it didnt have those black bits but i forgot to take a picture of that. It was quite crispy though. In the end it was probably the nicest pizza ive ever cooked at home compared to instant pizzas I normally buy. Or maybe I just convinced myself. It was fun though and I think I learned alot, I will definitely be trying again soon. Next time i will ferment the dough and bring it to room temp before building. Also I got some semolina to help with the sticking. Thanks everyone who post great looking pizzas with recipes as well as people showong the dodgy looking pizzas which reminds us we all have to start somewhere.
