Basic pizza dough recipe
Makes 4 pizzas
400g plain flour
3g dried yeast
1tsp salt
1tsp honey
1 - 1/2 tbsp olive oil
200ml lukewarm water
Method:
In a mixing bowl, place the flour; yeast, salt, honey, olive oil. Mix well until all the ingredients are incorporated. Pour the lukewarm water slowly into the mixture until it forms a soft dough. Knead the dough for 5 minutes until smooth.
Place the dough into a clean dry bowl cover with greased plastic film and leave to rest in the fridge for 30 minutes. Roll the dough into four balls each weighing approximately 150g cover and keep cool until ready for use. Do not roll out the pizza dough until a few minutes before you intend using.
Top with tomato sauce or pesto and your favorite toppings and bake in a pre heated oven heated as hot as possible 240c/ 475F Bake for 10 minutes or until the edges turn golden brown.
suggestion : roll the dough and cut it using a cookie square or even round cutter into small pieces of dough top with your favorite sauce and toppings and bake and serve at gatherings or as party food.
