Finished off the new kitchen today (all but tiling splash backs) and, while moving the monster fridge freezer, found a couple of wild duck breast that had managed to come out a drawer into the bottom of freezer. They've now defrosted and don't smell, so will be going into my belly once they've been pan fried and spent 20 minutes in the over.

pure experiment that worked VERY well .. eaten with a simple salad, grated carrot, thin shredded lettuce, cucumber and tomato EDIT .. medium sized spud with skin on, equal volume of cabbage straight from the fridge and just 2 heaped teaspoons of peanut butter .. mashed together
Cracking job. Little Miss Idle makes a fabulous pizza dough, but we haven't been able to get hold of any yeast for a month.
That said, we used the mozzarella we'd bought for the homemade pizzas by putting half inside a split bake at home roll with a big spoonful of pesto before chucking in the oven for ten minutes, and they were LOVELY.

You can find recipes for yeast free pizza dough online but I would urge you try to make Piadina. Nowadays you can buy pizza all over Italy, but it originated in the south, Naples I think. Cuisine in Italy has differences by region. The Northern Italian equivalent, well the Emilia Romagna region where my dad was from, have a flat bread called Piadina.
There are a couple of ways to eat it. My favourite is just as a flat bread, hot from the pan with mortadella, prosciutto, or Milano salami in the middle of a sandwich made of a cut in half circle. You can also make a crescione which is similar to a pizza calzone. This would normally have mozarella and combinations of tomato, and italian hams or sausages. But you can fill it with what you want, including mayo, tuna etc...
Anyway to make the dough, you need the following ingredients:
In a medium bowl whisk together flour, salt and baking soda, make a well in the middle and add the lard or olive oil (lard is nicer, olive oil is healthier), mix with a fork, then slowly add the milk and mix.
When almost combined move to a flat surface and knead into a smooth ball. Place in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with plastic and let rest 20 minutes.
Divide dough into 3-4 balls, sprinkle a flat surface with a little flour and place balls on top, cover with a tea towel and let rest for another 20 minutes.
Roll out each ball to approximately 8-10 inches (20-25 cm)and very thin, just a bit more than paper thin. Prick the dough with a fork.
Brush bottom of medium size frying pan with a very little amount of olive oil (or use a non stick heated pan/surface, when hot place one Piadina at a time on pan flip when golden, flip each side two times.
Immediately fill cooked warm flat breads with desired fillings. Eat warm accompanied by a nice wine or cold beer. You can heat up previously made piadinas.
Very easy to do and a great alternative to Pizza. Great with chips on the side too.
Nothing as impressive as @mutleyCAFC's recipe above (which I am definitely going to try!), but after struggling to get hold of any yeast I made pizza bases using the following recipe and was pleasantly surprised how good they were! Basically just self raising flour, baking powder and yogurt. Incredibly easy so a good one to get the kids involved in too:

Sounds good I’ll give that a go , the thing I like most about this recipe is that you have given exact grams next to the cup/teaspoon/table spoon measurements, I don’t like the rough half cup of this , 3\4 tablespoon that it’s just not precise enough & a pet hate of mine I mean is it a level spoon or heaped spoon if so how heaped , as you have shown it’s perfectly simple to put exact amounts!
The lard just gives them a fantastic taste and texture. If you have a non stick pan, I wouldn't use oil but if you have to, use as little as you can get away with. My grandmother, Nonna Maria, cooked the best food I ever tasted. She would come over sometimes and stay with us in England when I was a boy and my dad rigged up a piadina hot plate to go over our kitchen cooker hobs and it was better than Christmas.
