This homemade pizza dough is easy to make when you’re craving a tasty pizza and only uses a few ingredients. Make it your own with all your favourite toppings!
Serves: Makes: One large 12" thick crust base
Preparation Time: 45 minutes
Cooking Time: 15 minutes
We used the Hand Mixer with dough hooks to make this delicious pizza base but you can knead by hand if you'd rather.
Ingredients
- 400g bread flour
- 1 x 7g pack of dried yeast
- 1 x tsp salt
- 320ml of warm water
- 30ml of olive oil (optional)
Method
- Place flour, salt, yeast and olive oil into a large mixing bowl.
- Very slowly pour in the warm water and mix with a Hand Mixer, or your hand, until the mixture forms a ball.
- Knead in the bowl for a few minutes with one hand, holding the bowl with the other, or use the Hand Mixer with Dough Hooks.
- When a smooth texture is formed, leave the dough in the bowl and cover with a damp tea towel or cling film and allow it to double in size.
- Punch down the risen dough to release air bubbles and then roll out (or press out with fingertips) on a pizza stone or a baking sheet.
- Allow the dough to rise again for approximately 15-20 minutes (use this time to prep your toppings)
- Top with passata or our pepper pasta sauce, grated cheese and toppings of your choice.
- Bake at 180-200C for 10-15 minutes.
Top Tips
- Try adding mixed dried herbs or chopped sundried tomatoes to the dough for a twist on the classic base.
- Pizzas don't have to be round, so why not try making a large square base and allocate each quarter for different toppings.
- Coat the base with a thin layer of cheese before the sauce, this makes the base crispy.
- Try using a cheese sauce as a base instead of tomato for an indulgent pizza.
