Homemade pizza dough

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine : the yeast, sugar, 80 ml of lukewarm water & 50g of flour (quantity for 1 pizza dough). Set aside for 15 min.

Step 2

In a second large mixing bowl, combine : the remaining water (50 ml for 1 pizza dough) & 1 teaspoon of salt. Pour in the oil & mix again.

Step 3

Pour in the yeast mixture into the second bowl. Mix using your hands - the texture will be quite liquid.

Step 4

Add in the remaining flour little by little, mixing in between each add-in, until a dough forms.

Step 5

Knead the dough for about 15 min, until smooth & supple. Form a dough ball.

Step 6

Place the dough ball in a clean mixing bowl. Cover with a clean & damp cloth & leave to rise in a dry warm space for at least 1h. The dough should double or triple in size.

Step 7

Once the dough has risen, degas it. On a clean surface, remove the air bubbles by gently kneading it fo 1-2 min.

Step 8

Preheat the oven to 240°C. Lightly dust your countertop & add the pizza dough. Shape it.

Step 9

Place the pizza dough onto a baking tray & garnish the pizza with the toppings of your choice.

Step 10

Bake in the oven for 10 mins at 240°C. Once golden & crispy, remove the pizza from the oven & enjoy !
