Recipe for Make Pizza Dough
Ingredients
- 1½ tsp dried yeast (8ml)
- 1/2 tsp sugar (3ml)
- 1½ cup lukewarm water (375ml)
- 3½ cups white flour (500 gm)
- 1½ tsp salt (8ml)
- 1 large egg
- olive oil
Cooking Directions
Sprinkle yeast and sugar into warm water and mix.
Allow to sit for 10 minutes until mixture begins to bubble.
Combine flour and salt in large bowl, make a well in the centre, pour in yeast mixture and beaten egg and gradually work in the flour to make a dough.
Turn out onto lightly floured surface and knead thoroughly until smooth and elastic - at least 5 minutes.
Use only enough flour to prevent the dough from sticking to the surface.
Place in lightly oiled bowl, turn dough to coat with oil and cover with a clean cloth.
Allow to rise for 45 minutes, or until doubled in volume.
Punch down and then use as directed in recipe. (Use rolling motion with fists to force-stretch dough to size of pizza pan)
