Pizza Dough {Donna Hay}

Basic Pizza Dough

1 tbsp dry yeast

1 tsp of caster (superfine) sugar

1 cup (250ml) of lukewarm water

2½ cups (375g) 00 flour

1 tsp of sea salt flakes

1 tbsp olive oil

Place the yeast, sugar and water into 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 into 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 dough is smooth and elastic.

Divide the dough into equal-size balls. Place on a lightly floured tray under a clean damp tea towel 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 a roll out on a lightly floured surface to the desired size.

To Freeze...Roll out the dough and layer between sheets of non-stick baking paper, cover well in plastic wrap and freeze for up to a month. When ready to use them, heat up a tray, top the frozen base with your favourite toppings and pop into oven.
