Ingredients
Maida/All purpose Flour 2 cups
Olive Oil 3 tsp
Water 3/4th cup
Yeast 2 gm or 1/2th tsp
Salt 1/2 tsp
Sugar 1/2tsp
Method
- Put warm water into a bowl. Add yeast,salt and sugar and mix well. Leave it for about 10 minutes.
- Gradually add flour and 1 tsp olive oil and start mixing.
- Knead the dough until you have a smooth ball. If your dough feels more like batter, it is too wet and you need to add flour bit by bit. If you need to add water or flour, do it by small amounts.
- Coat the dough with olive oil, place it in a large bowl and cover it.
- Let the dough rise for about an hour in a warm place( heat the oven at broil for 5 minutes, switch off the oven and then keep the dough), then push it down again so it deflates. Let it sit for about another hour.
- Put the dough on a lightly floured surface, put a bit of flour on top and make it into the shape of a pie by stretching it out from the center outwards. Use a rolling pin until the dough is about 1/4" - 1/2" thick. Punch some holes in the dough with a fork to let the air escape while the pizza is in the oven
- Brush the top of the dough with olive oil
- Spoon on the tomato sauce or pasta sauce, sprinkle with cheese, and place your desired toppings(capsicum,onion, tomato,olives,mushroom,corn,pineapple etc) on the pizza.
- Bake the pizza in the oven at 425 - 450 degree F for about 20 to 25 minutes until the crust is light brown.
- Pizza is ready to serve, can prepare 1 large pizza
