MUThis is the perfect pizza dough for beginners. If you don’t have a pizza oven or stone you need to try this frying pan method for the crispiest base and the fluffiest crust.
(makes 4 small or 2 large)
350ml lukewarm water
7g instant yeast
Squeeze honey (about 1 tbs)
500g Strong / Bread flour
1 x tbs salt
Add water to the bowl and mix in the yeast, add honey and mix again. Add the flour and salt and mix well till combined. Cover and rest 30 min.
After 30 min wet your hand and do 4 stretch and folds (you can wet your hands in between each fold) cover and rest 30 min
After 30 min repeat 4 stretch and folds and cover and rest for 1 to 1.5 hours.
Flour the work surface generously and the top of the dough and turn it out. It may take a minute or 2. Sprinkle a little flour on top of the turned out dough and cut into 4 portions or 2 if you want them big.
Slightly stretch each piece and fold them inwards to create a round shape. Pinch the top closed turn them over and shape into a ball. Add to a heavily floured dish, sprinkle more flour on top (a lot so they don’t stick) cover with a damp towel for 45 min. If you want to prepare the night before you can cover airtight at this stage and before resting and store in the fridge.
Once ready heat a frying pan with some olive oil and turn your grill to high.
Shape the dough gently stretching it out. Make sure both the frying pan and the grill are really hot. Add your pizza dough to the pan and drizzle and brush some olive oil around the edges. Once the dough starts puffing up add the toppings and check the base is coloured and crunchy. (This will take 5-7 min) transfer to your grill (top shelf) or another 6-8 min until cooked.
If you want to cook in the oven heat to maximum temperature with your baking dish inside, transfer the pizza to the hot dish and cook till ready.
