Recipe: DIY Neapolitan Pizza on the barbecue

Recipe: DIY Neapolitan Pizza on the barbecue

Neapolitan pizza on the BBQ

So what happened to the weather around here recently? There we were, having a lovely summer filled with sunny days and shorts and T shirts, then suddenly it’s all rain again. I know, so typically British to talk about the weather again, but seriously. Bring back that sun!

When we did still have some sunshine and warm sunny days, Ben and I managed to make the most of our barbecue for a few weeks. My parents bought us the barbecue last year as an early and joint birthday present – we’re both autumn babies but had been wanting a proper barbecue for a while so they bought us it early so we could make use of it during summer. So this year, we vowed we would use it as often as we could. And somehow, we did…at least in May and June!

We decided that there were plenty of meals that we cooked indoors on the hob or in the oven which would be just as good outdoors, and we started having grilled vegetables a lot more often – courgettes and carrots sliced on the barbecue are just so much more tasty. Then we saw happened to watch a programme which had a proper Neapolitan style pizza being cooked outdoors and heard someone say it could work on a barbecue if you had a pizza stone. And luckily we had a pizza stone.

Please believe me when I say that this was the Best. Pizza. Ever. Okay, I won’t take credit away from the originals, but let’s just say it was the best pizza we’ve ever made ourselves, and believe me, we’ve made a lot of pizzas. I’ve had plenty of pizza made in the traditional Neapolitan style with a thin and crispy base and basic but delicious toppings, and using this recipe, we managed to achieve this. You could have been sat in Italy with this pizza cooking fresh on the barbecue and the sun shining down!

So here’s how we did it – follow the recipe below:

Neapolitan Style Pizza on the BBQ

This Neapolitan pizza, inspired by the real thing straight out of Naples, has an unexpected twist: it’s cooked on a barbecue! This results in a light, crispy base with fresh, tasty toppings.
Print Recipe
Cuisine Italian
Servings 4 people

Ingredients
  

For the dough

  • 875 g “00” flour
  • 1.5 g fresh yeast
  • 500 ml cold water
  • 25 g salt

For the tomato sauce

  • 400 g Italian tinned tomatoes
  • Salt
  • Fresh basil
  • For the toppings
  • Parmesan
  • Mozzarella
  • Olive oil
  • Basil

Instructions
 

  • Dissolve the yeast in the water then mix into the flour before adding the salt. Knead for 10-15 minutes until smooth. Rest the dough for 10 minutes then knead for 10 seconds. Leave to rest for 8 to 24 hours.
  • Whazzy whazzy woo woo the tomatoes, basil and a pinch of salt in a food processor.
  • If you’re using gas, turn your barbecue up high. If you’re on coal, get that thing hot. And shut the lid to keep the heat in. Leave your pizza stone to heat up inside the barbecue for a good while, just that little bit longer than you think.
  • Stretch out the pizza dough by hand then add the tomato sauce, then the grated Parmesan first (important!), the basil and finally the mozzarella torn into pieces.
  • Use your pizza paddle to get this onto the stones in the BBQ then shut the lid quickly and let cook until the cheese is melted and the base is crispy. Serve with a glug of olive oil and maybe a salad, if you’re feeling healthy. Which I’m not.
  • Serve, and enjoy!

PS: We also made another pizza and topped it with parma ham and ricotta (pictured here too) which was also amazing, but not as good as the original.

I accidentally fell into the world of Scandi kids I accidentally fell into the world of Scandi kids clothing a little while ago, and last week, I decided to grab some bits in my first DUNS drop - eek! @dunssweden has wonderful, uplifting and unique designs that are not only GOTS Certified but are also unisex and even have clothes that are now known as “Mama Duns” – matching pieces for mums (and sometimes dads!). Emmy and I managed to snag matching Purple Meadow Baggy Pants and we're in love! Head over to the blog (link in bio) to read more about my journey into Scandi clothing and how I grabbed this pair of baggy pants (yes, they might be a size 134/140!). #organic #fashrev #dunssweden #schwedischen #scandinavian #shopdunssweden #morethanafling @shopdunssweden #organickidswear #kidsfashion #sustainablefashion #sustainable #gots #byttilleko #inspiration #ecokids #goorganic #unisexfashion #swedish #summer2020 #colorful #happykids #organickidsfashion #emiliajane #emmyjane #themodernmotherhood
[Ad] Hey Instagram, it's been a while! We all know [Ad] Hey Instagram, it's been a while! We all know things have been going on in the world, but in addition to that, I went back to work and also have a baby turning toddler - that really pushes the limits of how much social media I can manage!

But today I'm back with a post all about baby led weaning. Over on the blog (link in bio) I've shared 50+ tried and tested baby led weaning meal ideas that Emmy loves (this girl LOVES her food!). We were super lucky to be gifted some @littlefreddieuk pouches to try recently, and this Grass Fed Beef Lasagne with a pinch of parmesan pouch has been a big winner over here. Available at Sainsburys, organic ingredients and a commitment to real food and sustainability, what else could you want from baby food? We were really impressed at how this little pouch packs a punch nutritionally and with flavour too - we may have snuck a couple of tastes too!

Check out how we incorporated this pouch into a meal for Emmy over at the blog along with a lot more meal ideas for 1 year olds, as well as a link to the Little Freddie coupon page where you can claim your own coupons.

Remember last year when I visited our local pumpki Remember last year when I visited our local pumpkin patch with a teeny bump? This year we went back with a much bigger "pumpkin" in tow! Emmy's first time pumpkin picking was a huge success and I can't wait to make this a tradition year after year. She looks like she's going to be a Halloweeny kind of girl!

Words can't even describe the experience of the pa Words can't even describe the experience of the past 2 days! Yesterday Emmy went to her first ever play, and I'm so so proud that it was the wonderful work of @charley_smiles90 with There Are No Beginnings at @leedsplayhouse. 
Since it was a mother and baby performance yesterday, I actually went back again today with Ben this time (while Emmy chilled with Charley and Frankie) to experience it all over again and I can't even tell you how incredible it was, both times!
I'll have a full review on the blog soon but in short, this was the most powerful and passionate performance full of strong women. And even though I've seen it twice in two days, I wouldn't hesitate to see it again.

These gorgeously soft and cozy sheepskin baby booties are by my new client, @jacobsanddalton, who are soon to be launching their site where you'll be able to get your hands on these too, but head over to the blog to see our full review and some fabulously fall inspired photos amongst the autumn leaves!
