Basic Pizza Dough

Step 1

Place the yeast, sugar and water in a bowl and mix to combine. Set aside in a warm place for 5 minutes or until bubbles appear on the surface. This means the yeast has been activated.

Place the flour, salt and olive oil in a bowl and make a well in the centre. Add the yeast mixture and mix together with well floured hands to form a dough.

Kneed dough on a lightly floured surface for 3-4 minutes or until smooth and elastic. Divide the dough into equal size balls.

Place on a lightly floured tray under a clean, damp cloth and set aside in a warm place for 30 minutes or until the balls have doubled in size.

Press each dough ball into a round and roll out on a lightly floured surface to the desired size as per recipe instructions
