A basic pizza dough of flour, water, yeast, olive oil, sugar and salt, ready in about an hour and a quarter. Most of that time is waiting for the dough to rise. The yeast is first dissolved with the sugar in lukewarm water for 10 minutes, which shows it is active before it goes into the flour. It can replace shop-bought dough in any of the pizza recipes on the site, and it is vegan.
Ingredients
Preparation
Dissolve the baker's yeast and sugar in the lukewarm water, then let sit for 10 minutes until foamy.
In a large bowl, mix the flour and salt, then make a hole in the center.
Pour the yeast mixture and the olive oil into the hole, then mix until a rough dough forms.
Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 10 minutes, until smooth and elastic.
Shape into a ball, place in an oiled bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm spot for 1 hour, until doubled in size.
Press down on the dough to let the air out, divide into two balls, and roll out on a floured surface to your desired thickness.
Tips
Let the dough rise overnight in the fridge for deeper flavor and a crispier crust. Use it in place of store-bought dough in any of our pizza recipes.
