Pizza Dough

This is my go-to pizza dough recipe. It makes about 3 or 4 pizza bases.

Ingredients

  • 1 sachet dry active yeast
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 250 ml warm water
  • 50 ml warm milk
  • 450 gram all purpose flour
  • 1 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon Italian herbs (optional)

Instructions

1

Warm water and milk to lukewarm

2

Mix yeast, warm water, warm milk and sugar together in the bowl of stand mixer. Leave for 10 minutes for the yeast to activate.

3

Add flour, Italian herbs and salt in a separate bowl

4

Once yeast is foamy, add the oil and give it a quick mix. Then add the flour mixture.

5

Knead the dough with dough hook for about 5-10 min until you have a smooth ball of dough.

6

Lightly oil a clean bowl and shape the dough in to a ball

7

Put the dough in the bowl and cover with plastic wrap.

8

Place the bowl in a warm space and let it double in size. This takes about 1-2 hours.

9

Once the dough is doubled in size, deflate the dough and divide in 3 or 4 equal pieces.

10

Shape the pizza base and add your toppings

11

Bake the pizza on a pizza stone on 230 degrees Celsius for about 7 minutes or until the crust has a nice golden colour.
