Tip 2
Pre make the pizza bases, pop them in the oven to pre cook and freeze.
3
Variation
Add some dried herbs like oregano or rosemary to the dough for a flavorsome twist.
Notes
1
In a small bowl, dissolve the sugar in warm water and sprinkle the yeast over the top. Let it stand for about 10 minutes until the yeast becomes frothy.
2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the strong flour and salt. Make a well in the center and add the yeast mixture and olive oil.
3
Mix until a dough begins to form, then turn it out onto a floured surface and knead for about 10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
4
Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm area for 1 to 1 ½ hours, or until doubled in size.
5
Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) and place a pizza stone inside.
6
Punch down the risen dough and divide it into 4 equal portions. Roll each portion into a ball and let it rest for another 10 minutes.
7
Roll out each ball on a lightly floured surface to your desired thickness and transfer to a sheet of parchment paper.
8
Spread your favorite sauce and toppings over the dough, and slide it onto the hot pizza stone.
9
Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly. Repeat with the remaining dough.
