How to Make an Easy, Fluffy Pizza Base: A Fail-Proof Recipe

Updated: May 30

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.
