Easy Pizza Recipe

Just thinking about pizza brings a smile to my face. It’s one of the best meals to eat and share with your family. You can just about use any sauce or toppings and the smell of pizza straight out of the oven may just be the best thing ever! Tonight I made 2 large pizzas from scratch following this simple recipe. Let’s begin!

What you will need to make your base:

• 2 cups plain flour
• 2 tbsp of dry yeast
• 1 tsp sugar
• ½ tsp salt
• ¼ cup olive oil
• ¾ cup warm water

How to make it:

• Combine sifted flour, yeast, sugar and salt
• Mix thoroughly then add the oil and warm water to form the dough
• Knead on a floured surface until soft or use an electric mixer with a dough hook
• Spread a thin layer of olive oil or cooking spray inside of a large bowl and place the dough in it
• Cover the dough with a clean wet tea towel or plastic wrap and let it sit in a warm place for about 2 hours or until it doubles in size
• When it has risen, knead the dough again for about a minute then divide into two
• Roll the dough and top with your desired pizza sauce
• Add a thin layer of shredded cheese and any topping of your choice
• Preheat oven to 220 degrees celsius
• Bake for 10 minutes, then rotate trays between the upper and lower shelf and bake for a further 5 to 10 minutes or until golden brown
