Heya Guys!
A quick and easy one for today.
CICI and I made this yummy snack a couple weeks back when we were craving deep-dish, meaty and saucy pizza! We were not intending to put the recipe up on the blog but a number of you asked for it, so here it is. On that account, forgive the lack of more detailed photography. 🙁
It is actually not that complicated to make your own pizza dough from scratch. The key thing is to have instant yeast (thank God for modern- day convenience!)
INGREDIENTS
Dough:
- 1 Tbsp of Extra Virgin Olive oil
- 2 cups of all-purpose flour
- 1 Tsp of Sugar
- 1/2 Tsp of Salt
- 2 Tsp of Instant Dry Yeast
- 3/4 cups of warm water
Toppings:
These can be whatever you prefer.
- Cheddar Cheese
- Homemade Pizza sauce
- Mozarella Cheese
- Green pepper
- Onions
METHOD
- Begin by mixing the warm water and olive oil then set it aside.
-
Combine the flour, sugar, salt and yeast in a large bowl. Make a well in the flour mixture and pour the water and oil mixture in. Mix until all the flour has been incorporated and the mixture turns into a dough.
-
Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface with your hands until it is smooth and elastic. Shape the dough into a ball and coat with a little oil. Place in large bowl and cover tightly with a warm wet cloth until it doubles in size (this should be about 30 minutes to 1 hour).
-
Punch the dough down to release the air. Roll the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and (attempt to) shape it into a circle. Ours wasn’t too bad, a sort of square-circle hybrid. Transfer onto a greased oven tray. Poke holes in the dough to prevent it from bubbling up!
-
Place your favorite toppings! Bake according to your oven type. (We baked it for 25 minutes in a pre-heated oven at 1800c)
- Serve hot and enjoy!
