Ingredients

  • 300 g Plain Flour
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • 1 tsp Sugar
  • 1 tsp Yeast instant
  • 1 tbsp Olive Oil
  • 150 ml Water warm

Instructions

  • Add the Plain Flour to a large mixing bowl.
  • Add the Salt, Sugar, and Instant Yeast to the bowl, then mix all the dry ingredients together until well combined.
  • Pour in the Olive Oil, followed by gradually adding the Warm Water in small increments. This helps bring the dough together smoothly and prevents it from becoming too sticky.
  • Gently fold the flour into the wet ingredients using your hand or a spatula, working from the outside of the bowl inward.
  • Once the mixture starts to come together, begin kneading the dough with your hands. Knead for at least 5 minutes to properly activate the gluten, which gives the dough structure and elasticity.
  • Shape the kneaded dough into a smooth round ball, ensuring there are no cracks or dry patches.
  • Lightly oil the inside of the bowl to prevent the dough from sticking, then place the dough ball back into the bowl.
  • Cover the bowl with a lid, plate, or damp cloth to trap the warmth and moisture inside.
  • Set the bowl aside in a warm place and let the dough rest for at least 1 hour.
  • After resting, the dough will have doubled in size and become light and airy, ready to be shaped.
  • This amount of pizza dough is enough to make one large pizza or two small pizzas.
