I never thought making
Pizza was this easy. I started baking Pizzas only some months ago and I must
say eating Pizza is no more considered unhealthy (If its home baked) There are
so many things you can put in the pizza just customise it your way. Every time
I bake Pizza I try to add in different flavours. This Pizza dough I made it
with Bread Flour and this flour is amazing. The texture of this base is very
soft and just melts in your mouth. For very good base always use good quality
bread flour. I don’t think you get bread flour in India:( You can use Maida/ all-purpose
flour.
For the Base
1 full tspn yeast
1 cup warm water
2 cups (150g) flour
1 tablespoon Extra Virgin Olive Oil.
Pinch of salt1 full tspn yeast
1 cup warm water
2 cups (150g) flour
1 tablespoon Extra Virgin Olive Oil.
In a small bowl, sprinkle
the yeast on the warm water and stir to dissolve it. Set aside until the yeast
starts forming bubbles in about 5 minutes. Pour the flour into a large bowl or
on a work surface. Mold the flour in in a big plate with a hole in the centre. Pour
the yeast mix in the center then the olive oil and a pinch of salt. Then mix
with your hands to form dough, Sprinkle some flour on the work surface. Place
the dough on the floured surface. Knead the dough briefly with your hands
pushing and folding. Knead just long enough for the dough to take in a little
more flour, and until it no longer sticks to your hands. With your hand, spread
a little olive oil inside a bowl & put the dough inside.
Cover the bowl with a
kitchen cloth, and set the bowl aside for approximately 1½ – 2 hours until the
dough doubles in volume (I kept it just for 1 hour). The time required for
rising will depend on the strength of the yeast and the temperature of the
room. When the dough is double its original size, punch it down to eliminate
the air bubbles now you can shape it the way you want:)
