Keep some pizza dough in your freezer for those nights when you don’t feel like cooking.
Ingredients
- 2 x 7g sachets (1 tablespoon) dry yeast
- 2 teaspoons caster sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 5 cups plain flour
- 1/2 cup olive oil
Method
- Step 1Combine yeast, sugar, salt and 1 1/2 cups warm water in a bowl. Cover and stand in a warm place for 20 minutes or until mixture is foamy.
- Step 2Place flour and oil in a large bowl. Stir to combine. Make a well in centre. Add yeast mixture. Mix until dough comes together. Turn onto a lightly-floured surface. Knead for 5 to 7 minutes, adding more flour if necessary, or until smooth and elastic. Place dough in a large, oiled bowl. Cover. Set aside in a warm place for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
- Step 3Using your fist, punch down centre of dough. Knead for 20 to 30 seconds or until smooth. Divide dough into quarters. Roll out to form four, 30cm round pizza bases. Place bases on greased baking trays.
