Materials
1½cupsluke warm water
1tspsugar
1sachetEdmonds Instant Dry Yeastor 3tsp of Edmonds Surebake Yeast
4½cups00 flour
1tspsalt
3tbspherb infused olive oil
Instructions
Firstly you want to add your luke warm water to a jug
To your water add yeast and sugar, mix for 3 seconds with a fork
Add flour and salt into the bowl of your cake mixer and mix to combine
After 10 minutes your yeast mixture should be bubbly and have a yeasty aroma
With the mixer on, pour your yeast mixture into the flour
As soon as your dough has formed add your olive oil
Mix for 10 minutes or until you can press the dough without it sticking to your fingers
Place the dough in a bowl with either a damp tea-towel or glad-wrap over the top leave to prove until doubled in size
What I like to do next is portion the dough into roughly 280 gram balls then allow to rest under a damp tea-towel until doubled in size again, this will make rolling your pizza base a lot easier
Now your dough balls have rested, you're ready to roll those bases and create some beautiful pizzas. Enjoy!
