Pizza Dough!

So we all have to love pizza!!! I sure do! And here's a simple easy recipe for one.

Serves: 1 person
Cooking time: 10 minutes
Cooking temp: 200 degrees C/ Fan 180 degree C/ Gas 7
Keeps for: 
Average cost: 

Ingredients: 
  • 1 and a 1/2 cups of plain flour. (just use gluten free flour if you need to!)
  • 1 teaspoon of salt.
  • Just less than 1 teaspoon of dry active yeast.
  • 1/2 a cup of lukewarm water (you may need a bit more then this!)
  • 1 tablespoon of olive oil.


What you need:
  • Mixing bowl
  • Jug
  • Cup measurers
  • Teaspoon
  • Tablespoon
  • Cling film 

How to make it:
  1. Put all dry ingredients into a bowl and mix together. 
  2. Measure out oil and water and place into the jug.
  3. Add a small amount of water at a time, (DO NOT PUT ALL THE LIQUID IN AT ONCE!) mixing together with your hand.
  4. As you add more water the flour should start to come together into a ball of dough. 
  5. Flour the work top surface, and place dough on it and kneed for about 2 minutes or until its smooth.
    see all smooth now
  6. Now spread a bit of oil all over the bowl and place the dough in the bowl and cover in a small amount of oil.
  7. Put cling film over the bowl and leave the dough in the bowl to double in size for about an hour in the sun or in a warm room. (it actually only took about half an hour for mine to double, but it was sat in the very warm sunshine)
  8. Once the dough has doubled take it out of the bowl and kneed again a few times, and then roll out into pizza shape. (or you can do what my brother did, throw it in the air, like a proper pizza person)
    he then dropped it on the floor shortly after this was taken :L
  9. Oil a tray and place the pizza on.
  10. Add your desired toppings, don't forget to start with tomatoes on the bottom.
  11. Put in the oven for about 10 minutes or until golden brown and cheese is melted.
ENJOY!
