Ingredients

  • 400g Plain Flour
  • 2 tsp dried yeast
  • 2 tsp salt
  • 1 cup warm water
  • 3 tbsp olive oil

 

Method

  1. Place flour, yeast and salt in a bowl and mix.
  2. Gradually add the water and olive oil then knead by hand for 7-10 minutes until the dough is smooth.
  3. Place dough in a lightly oiled bowl and cover with cling wrap. Set aside in a warm place to rise for 30 minutes to an hour until it doubles in volume.

FRESH TIP

For a delicious crunchy base, sprinkle polenta onto the kitchen bench instead of flour, when rolling out the pizza dough.
