Pizza Dough Recipe

 This recipe makes enough dough for two Pizza's

Ingredients.

330g Eureka Stone Ground White Bread Flour

200ml warm water (40 degrees C).

1 teaspoon Instant Yeast

1 teaspoon Salt

1 teaspoon Sugar

1teaspoon Olive Oil plus more to coat the dough

Method.

Stir the sugar into the warm water in a jug until it is dissolved.

Add the yeast to the water and whisk or stir until it is well mixed in.

Let the yeast mixture stand for 10 minutes or so. It should start forming a layer of foam on top when it reacts to the sugar in the water. If after15 minutes there is no foam then your yeast is dead and no good. You will need to repeat all this with a fresh packet of yeast.

Mix the flour and salt together in a mixing bowl.

Add the Olive Oil and the Yeast mixture and combine together using a wooden spoon or silicone spatula.

When combined, turn out onto a floured surface/counter and knead for 10 minutes.

Clean the mixing bowl and add some Olive oil and smear it around the bowl. Add the kneaded dough back into the bowl and turn it over to cover with a film of oil.

Cover the bowl with cling film (I use a plastic shower cap from the Crazy Store) and place it in a warm spot for an hour or two to rise until it is doubled in size.

Divide the dough into 2 and roll into balls. I let these rest for about 15 minutes to relax.

Roll out each ball using your fingers and a rolling pin into a thin Pizza base. I never get mine quite round but that's o.k.
