Pizza dough

Makes 2 pizza bases 

Ingredients :

250g 01 Flour Blend

200g water (body temp)

10g olive oil

6g salt

2g instant yeast

Method :

-Mix together dry ingredients and water until dough forms (can use spatula or stand mixer).

-Add the oil and mix until all combined.

-Rest dough in fridge for 20 minutes.

-Divide in half (235g per piece)

-Wrap individually in cling film and return to the fridge for a minimum of 4 hours. (12 to 18 hours is the perfect window to bake the pizza dough).

-Remove from fridge 30 mins before baking.

-Use rice flour to gently shape your ball into a pizza base, taking care not to deflate the crust. (This takes some practice but it’s worth it!)

-Top however you like and bake in your pizza oven.
I can’t give baking times or temps as pizza ovens and personal tastes vary wildly. A little trial and error will get you the best results.

 

To bake in a normal home oven I would recommend…

-Brushing the crust with a little oil before baking.

-Preheat the oven and baking surface for at least 30-40 minutes before baking.

-Use a pizza stone/pizza steel or just direct on a baking tray. All will yield slightly different results but all will result in delicious pizza!

-Bake at around 260/240C fan for 8-12 minutes. Keep an eye on it as ovens vary a lot at high temperatures and depending on the moisture in your mozzarella (if using) it can burn quite quickly.
