PIZZA DOUGH
Ingredients:
• 500 g bread flour
• ½ tbsp sea salt
• ½ tsp ground black pepper
• 1x7g dried yeast
• ½ tbsp clear honey
• 2 tbsp virgin olive oil
• 325 ml warm water
Utensil:
• A bowl
• A glass/measuring jug
• Oven tin
• Oven
• Spoon
• Fork
METHOD
1. In a jug, mix the yeast into the water and leave for a few minutes
2. Sieve the flour/s, salt and pepper on to a clean work surface and make a well (circle) in the middle.
3. Add the honey and olive oil into the yeast mixture. Then pour into the ‘flour well’. Using a fork, bring the flour in gradually from the sides and swirl it into the liquid. Keep mixing, drawing larger amounts of flour in, and when it all starts to come together, work the rest of the flour in with your clean, flour-dusted hands. Knead until you have a smooth, springy dough.
4. Place the ball of dough in a large flour-dusted bowl and flour the top of it. Cover the bowl with a damp cloth and place in a warm room for about an hour until the dough has doubled in size.
5. After covering the dough for about an hour, take the dough out of the bowl and cover your work surface with some flour. Knead the dough again to push the air out of it.
6. After kneading the dough, shape it into a ball with your hands. Then, prepare the oven tin. Powder the oven tin with some flour
7. Put the dough on the oven tin and push it with your hands into a shape that you want on top of it (the oven tin). It doesn’t have to be a round shape.
8. Pour some olive oil & tomato sauce on top of the dough, spread it out. Then, put some toppings on top of it (cheese, mushroom, beef, etc.). Put it into the oven.
9. After about 12-15 minutes, your pizza is ready. Leave it for a dew minutes to cool down before eating.
