BASIC PIZZA DOUGH
(Makes 2 Large Pizzas, or Four Thin Pizzas)
•
2 Packages yeast (or ½ oz. or 4½ tsp of yeast)
•
2 tsp sugar
•
4 cups of flour or more
•
1 tsp salt
•
¼ cup olive oil
•
1½ cup of warm water
Mix yeast and sugar in a bowl. Add ½ cup of warm water and mix well. The water should be
between 100ºF - 110º F. Let stand for some 5 min. for yeast and sugar to activate. In a large
mixing bowl, add flour, salt, olive oil, 1 cup of warm water and the yeast mixture. Mix this
with a fork to get all the liquid absorbed by the flour. Place a handful of flour on a mixing
surface. Dust your hands and spread out the flour.
Empty the contents of the bowl on to the flour. Knead the dough until the texture is
smooth and uniform. If the dough seems a little sticky, add a little more flour. Cut the
dough in half. Dust a rolling pin with flour and gently roll out on a floured pastry board until
the dough is the desired shape. Keep using flour, as needed so the dough doesn’t stick.
Dust corn meal on Pizza Peel, pick up pizza dough and garnish with your favourite tomato
sauce, ingredients, vegetables, meats and cheese. Place pizza directly on Pizza Stone (dust
also lightly with corn meal) in a pre-heated oven. Set Temperature setting and Timer and
cook until crust is golden colour.
