My next recipe is for delicious pizza dough, I have tried many different doughs but this one is fantastic and simple!
Makes 6 medium pizzas
Ingredients
- 1kg White bread flour
- 1 teaspoon of salt
- 14g of dried yeast
- 1 tablespoon of caster sugar
- 4 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil
- 650 ml of lukewarm water
Method
1) Sieve the flour and salt onto a flat surface and make a well.
2) Add the yeast, sugar and olive oil into the water and leave for a couple of minutes and pour it into the well.
3) Pour some of the liquid into the well and with a fork whisk the mix in slowly, gradually adding more and more liquid and drawing in more and more flour.
4)When the dough starts coming together, using floured hands knead the dough until it's smooth and springy. Place the dough into a floured bowl, cover it with a damp cloth and bob it in a warm place. Leave for and hour until it has doubled in size.
5) Knock out the dough by kneading it.
6) If you don't want to use the dough straight away you wrap it in clingflim and put it in the freezer or fridge depending when you want it. Otherwise roll it out 15-20 minutes before you want it.
Tasty Tips- In the pizza above the topping is made up of a mix herb tomato sauce, prosciutto, pepper, sun-dried tomatoes and mozzarella. IT WAS YUMMY! But you can do anything.
To cook it heat your oven to 220°C and it will take about 20 minutes to cook. Once it's cooked garnish with fresh basil.
Let me know how you got on and what you put on your pizza :)
