Mix self-raising flour, salt and enough yoghurt to make a soft dough. It is not necessary to knead the dough when you have finished. Put it aside to make the topping.
To Cook:
Preheat your oven to 250°C. Roll pizza dough out very thinly. This can be in a large rectangle, or as a traditional pizza round, and place on an oiled baking tray. Spread tomato paste to cover the base. Add any toppings that you like: bacon, green peppers, fried mushrooms, tinned pineapple pieces, pitted black olives etc. Top with grated mozzarella cheese or crumbled feta cheese. Bake for 12-15 minutes until cheese has melted and base has browned.
This section is not for quick breads, but for breads that use yeast and you need to take the time to knead the dough, and allow it to rise and prove before baking. However, there is nothing nicer than the smell of homemade bread, and once you start, you will find that nothing bought after that quite smells or tastes the same!

2 cups warm water (110°C)
2 teaspoons active dry yeast
1 tablespoon melted butter
6 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon salt
Method:
Heat oven to 230°C (450°F). Prepare yeast mixture by taking a large bowl and dissolving the sugar in the water and sprinkling the yeast on top. Leave for 10 minutes until frothy. Add the butter to the yeast mixture and then add the flour and salt. Work the dough until the sides of the bowl are clean. Turn out onto a floured board and knead for about 10 minutes until smooth and springy.
Cover with a greased piece of cling film and leave to rise in a warm place until double in size. Remove cling film and turn out onto a lighty floured board. Knock out air bubbles and knead to a firm, elastic dough. Divide dough into two and place in two well-greased loaf tins. Cover with more greased cling film and leave to rise again in a warm place until dough reaches the tops of the tins. Remove plastic flim, and bake in a hot oven for 30 - 40 minutes. Loaves should be well risen and should sound hollow when tapped underneath. Turn out and cool on a wire rack. Slice when cool and butter.
