Easy to make Pizza Dough


Here is our take on pizza dough - we like to use a Kitchenaid stand mixer with the dough hook for perfect results - but you can make this by hand or bread machine (dough cycle) - remember it can never be kneaded too much!

Easy to make Pizza Dough Recipe

INGREDIENTS:

  • 1½ tsp dried yeast (8ml)
  • 1/2 tsp sugar (3ml)
  • 1½ cup lukewarm water (375ml)
  • 3½ cups white flour (500 gm)
  • 1½ tsp salt (8ml)
  • 1 large egg
  • olive oil
    		•

    METHOD:

    Sprinkle yeast and sugar into warm water and mix.

    Allow to sit for 10 minutes until mixture begins to bubble.

    Combine flour and salt in large bowl, make a well in the centre, pour in yeast mixture and beaten egg and gradually work in the flour to make a dough.

    Turn out onto lightly floured surface and knead thoroughly until smooth and elastic - at least 5 minutes.

    Use only enough flour to prevent the dough from sticking to the surface.

    Place in lightly oiled bowl, turn dough to coat with oil and cover with a clean cloth.

    Allow to rise for 45 minutes, or until doubled in volume.

    Punch down and then use as directed in recipe. (Use rolling motion with fists to force-stretch dough to size of pizza pan)
