Pizza Dough

We wanted a dough that anyone could make and that could be prepared with the minimum of fuss. We used it for mini pizzas, as a base for some canapes and even as a savoury pie crust, when it behaved very much like a kind of brioche.

Here's how easy it is:

Ingredients

1.5 cups water
3 tbs olive oil
1 tsp salt
1 tsp sugar
4.5 cups bread-making (strong)flour
2.5 tsps dried yeast

Put these ingredients in a food mixer in the order given and blitz on high until a ball of dough forms.

Turn the dough out into a lightly floured bowl, cover with a clean cloth and leave it in a warm space to rise. It will double in size.

Turn out onto a floured surface and roll out as required.

Bake in a hot oven, which means around 220°C/425°F, until lightly browned.
