Ours is redundant in the spare room as there is a shop at the end of the street. Nah it stopped getting used since i was diagnosed as Coeliac. Few attempts of GF bread then gave up as they turned out shite.

I have made pizza dough/bases but, again, I found if I buy a good, but basic M&S one - mozzarella and basil - then primp it with Serrano ham and Kalamata olives it's a) less bother and b) quite nice. :D (They've revised the recipe and added the basil, you used to be able to freeze them but, I guess, the fresh basil has kiboshed that. Not that it matters, shop on Thursday, pizza night Thursday :thumbup: ).

Pizza is all about the bread though. People are always amazed by my home made pizza and I always tell em the same thing...make good bread and you're 99% of the way there!

Same here, GF bread seems to always turn out with a dodgy Madeira cake consistency.

Isn't it the gluten in dough that gives it its stretchability and elasticity?
