Pizza Dough

2 HRS 30 MINS
serves 8
  • 300mls warm water
  • 1-2 teaspoons active dry yeast
  • 450g white bread flour, preferably '00'
  • 1 teaspoon salt

You will need:

1.

Sieve the flour and salt together onto a bench and make a well in the center.  Pour in the water.  Mix until you have a soft ball of dough (add more flour or water as necessary). Knead the dough by hand for 12 minutes until smooth and bouncy.

2.

Lightly oil a bowl and roll the dough around in this until it is coated. Cover lightly with plastic wrap, tea towel or a plastic bag and leave to rise in a warm, draught free place for 1.5 hours.

3.

You can use the dough now, or for more flavour development, punch back, knead a few more times and leave to rise again for another 40 minutes.

4.

Divide into 4 to 8 pieces

5.

Stretch and roll out the dough on a floured/semolina board, add toppings and bake until crisp and bubbling.
