PIZZA DOUGH
Makes two 30cm pizzas
INGREDIENTS
¾ cup + 2 tablespoons warm water
1 teaspoon sugar
2 teaspoons instant yeast
500g unbleached plain flour
1 teaspoon salt
METHOD
1. Combine the water with sugar and yeast
until well dissolved. Allow to stand for
3 minutes.
2. Mix together the flour and salt. Pour the
yeast mixture into the flour and mix to
form a ball.
3. Transfer the dough to a work surface
and knead for 7 to 10 minutes, or until it
is smooth and elastic.
4. Grease the inside of a medium bowl with
olive oil. Place the dough in the bowl,
turning it to coat all sides. Cover the
bowl with plastic wrap and place it in a
warm, draft-free area. Allow the dough
to rise until doubled in size, about
30 minutes.
5. Punch down the dough and divide it in
half. Shape each half into a ball. Spray
each ball lightly with cooking spray and
cover loosely with plastic wrap. Let rest
for 10 minutes.
6. Stretch the dough to fit a non-stick pizza
pan and top with your favorite toppings.
7. Position the wire rack in the middle
rack height position and turn the
FUNCTION dial until the indicator on
the LCD screen points to the PIZZA
function. De-select the FROZEN and
CONVECTION settings and leave the
default temperature and time settings.
Press the START/CANCEL button
to activate.
8. When preheating has completed, place
the pizza pan on the wire rack and cook
until the cheese is melted and the crust
is golden brown.
TIP
For a crispier crust, cook for an
additional minute or two.
