Cuisine: Italian
Serves: 4 Pizzas
Ingredients
- 2 x 7g Sachets Dried Yeast
- 1 tablespoon Golden Caster Sugar
- 325ml Warm Water
- 500g Strong Bread Flour
- 4 tablespoons Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- 1 tablespoon Salt
- Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- Tomato Passata
- Additional Toppings
Instructions
- To make the pizza dough mix the yeast and sugar with the warm water in a small jug then leave for a few minutes.
- Sift the flour into a large mixing bowl along with the salt then make a well in the centre.
- Slowly pour the oil into the centre of the well, followed by the yeast mix. Using a spoon slowly bring the flour towards the middle from each side and you form a dough.
- When the dough is fully combined, continue to mix well then place onto a floured surface and knead for 10 minutes until smooth. The dough will be ready when you stretch it out and it appears translucent.
- Next put the dough into a clean, slightly floured bowl. Cover with a tea towel and leave in a warm place to rise for around 1 hour or until doubled in size.
- Once the dough has risen punch out the remaining air and then place back onto a floured surface and knead for a further 2 minutes. Wrap in cling film if you don't plan on using it right away.
- If using now, divide the dough equally into 4 pieces (if making 2 pizzas, freeze the other pieces for another time). Roll out the dough out onto a floured work surface until it is the size of your frying pan.
- Pre-heat the grill to medium, as well as place a frying pan on a medium-high heat with a little oil. Add the flattened dough onto the frying pan and cook the base for 4-5 minutes or until crispy and slightly brown on the bottom.
- Spread the passata over the pizza and add the toppings of your choice, then place under the grill for 5-8 minutes.
