Want to turn your basic pizza dough into something fancy and interesting? Try this – squid ink!

Not really much for the flavor, though squid ink adds a subtle amount of umami, but rather to make the dough uniquely interesting with its deep black tint.

Lets' start with a basic pizza dough recipe. We'll be using some yeast to make this dough light and airy.

Next would simply be to measure out some all-purpose flour and a pinch of salt. Going for half all-purpose and half semolina would also be good to give your dough much more stretch.

Make a well in the center of your dry ingredients and stir in the wet ingredients – olive oil, active yeast, and your squid ink.

You may as well add any additional flavoring at this point from chopped herbs, spices, cheese. . . anything you fancy actually.

Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and give it a good 5-10 minutes of kneading. It'll start out pale but should darken as you work on the flours further.

Set the dough in a lightly oiled bowl and leave it to rise for about an hour – covered with a kitchen towel in a warm area.

Stretch your risen dough into a crust and get the toppings on.

Thinking of color contrast moreover flavor, I've chosen a mix of cream cheese, chopped scallions, and flakes of fish Kabayaki. Turned out tasting excellent nonetheless.

    Very good, I substituted Squid Beak for the squid ink and it didn’t turn out great. Wow.
