Pizza dough
Step 1:
You will need
• 180 g plain white flour
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 tsp dried yeast
• ½ tsp caster sugar
• 1 Tbsp olive oil
• 120 ml warm water
• polenta for dusting
• 2 bowls
• 1 spoon
• some cling film
• 1 rolling pin
• 1 measuring jug
• 1 sieve
• 1 circular baking tray
• Step 2:
• Sieve the flour
• Place the sieve over a bowl, add the flour and gently shake it through.
• Step 3:
• Make the dough
• In the medium bowl, combine the salt, yeast and caster sugar. Make a hole in the centre, add the olive oil and warm water and mix in well. Give it a quick, final mix by hand to create a rough paste.
• Step 4:
• Knead the dough
• Remove the dough from the bowl and place onto the chopping board. Knead the dough for roughly 3-4 minutes, using the heel of your hand. Keep kneading until it has formed a smooth ball.
• Step 5:
• Leave dough to rise
• Transfer the dough into a large clean bowl, cover with some cling film, and leave it to rise for approximately two hours or until it has doubled in size.
• Step 6:
• Roll the dough
• Uncover the bowl and sprinkle the dough with flour. Remove it from the bowl and place onto a flat surface. Sprinkle some more flour over the dough and roll it into a circle. Dust with flour again, turn it over and roll the other side.
• Flour the base of the circular baking tray. Place the dough over the tray and push it outwards into a rustic circle.
• If you aren't going to bake it straight away, it needs to be wrapped in cling film and kept in the fridge, for a maximum of 24hours. -

hi there
plz let me know how 2 make pizz a dough at home??? i appreciate varieties....include mini pizza for kids as well.
regards





Mine's really simple but very yummy:
Self raising flour, luke warm water, some olive oil and a pinch of sugar : mix it all together (quantities depend on how many pizzas you want really but I use about 300-500g flour, enough luke warm water to make the dough firm not sloppy) Kned the whole mixture (add a little flour if it is still too sticky) until you get a nice piece of dough, cover that up and leave to rise for about 40 mins.
Voila - pizza dough!! It sounds plain but once you've added the tomato sauce and toppings it's lovely. IHome made pizza is one of my dd's favourites
