Homemade Pizza base recipe
Ingredients
Ingredients:
- 2 cups Shivtara Maida
- 2 and 1/4 tsp instant or active dry yeast
- 1 tsp of sugar
- 1 tsp salt
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1/2 cup warm water
Instructions
Method:
- Combine all the ingredients and gently knead with fingertips until a slightly sticky dough forms. You don’t need to knead too much, just until the dough forms.
- Place in an oiled bowl and turn the dough so the oil coats it.
- Cover with a damp kitchen towel and let it rise for about 20-25 mins or until doubled in volume
- Punch down the dough and knead lightly until it forms a ball
- Transfer to a floured surface.
- Roll the dough into a circle or rectangle, flouring it as you go.
- You can also transfer straight to your baking tray and flatten with your fingertips until the pizza crust reaches your desired thickness. Use oiled fingertips to make this easier
