Are you craving a delicious homemade pizza but intimidated by the thought of making the perfect pizza base from scratch? Look no further! In this guide, we will walk you through a foolproof recipe to create an easy, fluffy pizza base that will elevate your homemade pizza game.
Ingredients:
350mls warm water
1 tbsp sugar
1 tsp active dried yeast
500g plain flour, plus extra for dusting
1 tsp salt
Drizzle of oil
Instructions:
In a large bowl, combined the flour, sugar, yeast and salt. Create a well in the center of the mixture.
Pour the water into the well. Gradually incorporate the flour from the sides until a dough forms.
Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 2-3 minutes. This will be a sticky dough. To work with it easier, wet and only use your finger tips.
Place the dough in a greased bowl, drizzle with oil and cover it with a cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about an hour or until it doubles in size.
Punch down the dough to remove air bubbles and divide it into portions for individual pizza bases.
Drizzle and work each portion into a round shape. Work from the centre outwards to capture the air bubbles in the crust for a fluffy, crispy crust. Add your favorite toppings, and bake at a 220C fan-forced until the base is golden and the toppings are bubbly.
Enjoy your homemade pizza with the perfect, fluffy base!
Let's get baking and enjoy a slice of comfort and satisfaction with a homemade pizza that's bound to impress your taste buds.
