Pizza Dough Recipe

Perfect Pizza dough - makes 2 large pizza or 4 small.

INGREDIENTS

1/2 cup warm water 

2 1/4 tsp Yeast 

4 cups or 20 oz of Plain flour 

1 tsp salt 

1 tsp dried oregano ( optional )

1 1/4 cup of room-temperature water

2 tbsp olive oil 

DIRECTIONS

1. Measure the warm water into a jug. Sprinkle the yeast on top so it develops. When developed it will bubble, add the rest of the room-temperature water.

2. In the bowl of your mixer add the flour, salt, and herbs if you use them. Mix in the yeast mixture slowly and the olive oil.  With the dough hook attached kneed on a low speed until smooth and elastic about 5- 10 minutes

3. Transfer to a lightly oiled bowl and cover with cling film , let it rise for 1 1/2 - 2 hours or until doubled. 

4. When risen, transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and divide into two equal balls, form each piece into a smooth , round ball. If you wish to freeze wrap your dough in cling film and place in the freezer *

5. If baking straight away let the dough relax for 10 minutes, then roll out onto a pizza tray leaving a thicker edge all the way around.

* To defrost remove from the freezer in the morning and leave it in an oiled bowl so it will relax ready to roll out.

 For Stuff Crust   

Roll out your dough and cut some Vegan Mozzarella into small strips - lay on the edge of the pizza and roll the dough in to cover the mozzarella.

 To Cook the Pizza 

We top our pizza with tomato paste mixed with garlic and herbs as a base. Then use Vegan Cheese Then whatever is in the fridge, so onions, mushroom, Quorn ham, Quorn Pepperoni, cherry tomatoes, peppers, sweetcorn if you have some - go wild :) 

Place Pizza in a hot oven (200 degrees C ) for 12- 15 minutes or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbling. 

Domino's eat your heart out - Cheap, cheerful and kids love making their own pizza so it is a great Friday night treat.
