Ingredients Used

  • 120 g bread flour
  • 3 g Easy Bake Yeast
  • 88 ml water (lukewarm)

  6. Keep kneading for about 5 minutes until your dough is firm and springy. If you put your fist into it, it should spring back out again
  7. Next pop into a container and cover with a clean dry tea towel and place somewhere warm to settle for about 20-25 minutes
  8. Now you are ready to roll our your pizza base. Re lightly flour your surface
  9. Put your dough onto your floured surface and roll out into a circle about 10" (25.5cm)

  11. Preheat your halogen for a few minutes at the highest temperature setting
  12. Place your dough onto the cooking tray and place into your preheated halogen
  13. Reduce your oven temperature to 180C
  14. Bake the base for 6-8 minutes
  15. Now add your toppings of choice

Recipe Notes

Note: For a firmer, more crispy thinner pizza use your dough straight away and for a lighter one allow to sit for longer
