Homemade Pizza Dough Recipe
This is the most tried and tested recipe from my kitchen! It is simple to make and it is so versatile. I use the same recipe for bread, filled buns, chicken bread, naan and of course, pizza!
- 2 cups all purpose flour
- 1.5 teaspoon instant yeast
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1.5 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 cup warm water (no warmer than 60°C)
Mix the first 4 dry ingredients together
Add 1 tablespoon of the oil and mix in until dough is crumbly
Add your water and knead into smooth dough ball (about 5-8 minutes)
Add 1 more tablespoon of oil at the end to coat the dough and bowl in oil
Cover the bowl and let the dough rise for 1 hour in a closed space (I use my oven – turned off!)
After one hour, your dough should have doubled in size
Separate the dough into 2 balls and place one back in the covered bowl
Grease your baking tray or pan with some oil
Roll out the dough into a 8-10" round circle and add your favourite toppings
Repeat above step for the second pizza
Let your pizzas rise for 20-30 minutes
Preheat your oven to 450°C (convection)
Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the crust is golden
