Homemade pizza needn’t be difficult! Spend a mere 10 minutes making the dough and then load it with your favourite toppings. It easily beats any pre-made base you can buy in the shops!
This recipe is for a large, deep-pan style pizza. If you’d prefer a thin base, either half the required ingredients or split the dough into two and make two pizzas!
Add the sugar, yeast and warm water into a bowl and stir well. Let sit for 3-4 minutes or until the mixture looks creamy.
Add the flour, salt, oil and yeast/sugar mixture into another bowl and mix together. Add more water if it’s too dry. Likewise, add more flour if it becomes too wet.
Form into a dough ball and let it sit for 5 minutes.
Roll out the dough onto a lightly floured surface.
On a large oven tray lined with baking paper dusted with cornmeal (optional), transfer the base before topping with your favourite ingredients.
Bake on the top shelf for 15-20 minutes or until crisp and golden.
