Pizza Base

Ingredients


  • 2 cups flour
  • 1 packet (8g) dry yeast 
  • 1 teaspoon caster sugar
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 3/4 cup warm water


Method


  • Combine dry ingredients in large bowl, add oil and water.
  • Mix into soft dough, knead on a floured surface until soft and pliable, return to bowl and cover with cling wrap. Place in a warm spot for 30 mins, the dough should double in size.
  • 'Punch' dough to get rid of air bubbles, remove from bowl and knead gently for one minute, roll dough out to desired size and thickness and add toppings, cook for 10-15 minutes but keep a eye on it as it depends on how thick and the size of the pizza.



Toppings you might like


  • tomato sauce 
  • Mozzarella or Parmesan cheese
  • feta cheese
  • mushrooms, thinly sliced
  • Italian sausage, cooked ahead of time
  • chopped fresh basil
  • Pesto
  • Pepperoni, thinly sliced
  • onion, thinly sliced

  • pineapple- my favourite! Although hubby can't stand it on pizza he says i'm so Australian  to like it lol
