uh oh what's going to happen to my pizza dough?

[Muscroj]

Just got everything out to make some pizza dough, only to discover I've not got enough bread flour & so I've had to use 250g of bread flour & 250g of self raising!!!!

I've set it going in the machine, but what's the dough going to turn out like? should I chuck it now & prepare something else?

DON"T PANIC!!!

I use plain flour for my pizza dough, always have.

It'll be fine.

[Muscroj]

I have used a mix of plain & bread four before & have even used a mix when I'm doing bread, but I've never used SR flour before

[Annpan]

It will be OK.

With something like pizza dough you don't need the strength or the elasticity of bread flour, you just need a bit of raising power... which you have from your yeast, and a little bit from your SR flour. It might end up a little bit more 'deep pan' than you are used to... or just a little bit lighter/ airyer (is that a word???)

Honestly it will be fine

OK, I'm calm, thanks Ann

I'm just about to get it out of the breadmaker, so shall let you know! you never know I may have discovered the best pizza dough recipe ever! lol

hi how did it go muscroj,

[Mr and Mrs luvpie]

Yeah come on, tell us, as many a time I've not had enough plain so not bothered making the base with the kids, but as we make loads of cakes we always have SR in the house so it would save the hassel of trying to think of a different tea on those occasions.

yup, it was all OK, wouldn't have known the difference. Dough was a bit stretchier & harder to handle but was OK once I'd got the air out of it & got plenty of flour on the board. It was about a 50/50 mix of bread & SF flour
