Ingredients

  • 3 cups All-Purpose Flour
  • 1 packet Yeast (7gms) or (2¼tsps) or (¼oz)
  • 2 tsp salt
  • 1 tbsp sugar
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • cup warm water

Instructions

  • Add all the ingredients to the bowl of a stand mixer with a dough hook attachment and switch it on. I put mine on the Number 2 setting.
  • If mixing the dough by hand, mix all the ingredients and knead it till you get a nice firm dough.
  • After about 10 minutes the dough will form. Switch off the stand mixer.
  • Make a smooth ball out of the dough and put it in an oiled bowl to rise.
  • Cover the bowl either with cling film or a kitchen towel. Let it rise in a warm place for about an hour. I put it in my oven.
  • Once it's double the volume, punch it down and divide it into 2 balls.
  • Preheat your oven to 450°F.
  • Roll out your pizza base. I used a rolling pin to roll the base to about 1/4 inch thick.
  • Brush some olive oil on your baking tray or mat. Place your pizza on it. Brush a little olive oil on the base, add your sauce, toppings and cheese.
  • Put your tray in the hot oven and bake it for 12 to 15 minutes till the cheese has melted, and the crust is golden brown.
  • Take the pizza out of the oven, let it rest for 5 minutes, and then cut it with a pizza cutter. Enjoy your scrumptious Pizza!
