Above yeast mixture |
Pour in most of the liquid and mix with a metal spoon, adding just enough liquid to bring the mixture to a single dough ball. |
| Pastry board and 12" pizza trays lightly oiled
1..Knead the dough on a floured board for 5 - 10 minutes. 2..Lightly oil the surface of the ball, return to a clean bowl, cover and leave to rise for one hour. 3..With oily fingers, knock back to remove large air bubbles, (the dough should now be smooth and silky) divide into three and roll each into a ball, leave covered for another 20 minutes. 4..Flatten each ball, dip in some flour on a side plate, then roll out very lightly until the dough roughly fits the 12 inch pizza tray. 5..Place the pizzas on the lightly oiled pizza trays and squeeze the dough out to the tray edges. 6..The dough is now ready to receive a layer of tomato sauce followed by crumbled mozzarello cheese and a choice of toppings. Bake in a 240 C pre-heated oven for about 15-20 mins until the edges are baked crisp.
