• 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

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)
