Homemade Pizza base recipe

Shivtara
Cuisine American, Italian

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
