Pizza Dough
Ingredients
I4 teaspoons yeast
1 teaspoon caster sugar
1¾ cups warm water
4 cups durum flour
1 teaspoon sea salt
2 tablespoons olive oil for oiling bowl
Method
In a small bowl, combine the yeast, sugar and water and mix well. Leave for 5-10 minutes until foamy.
Sift the flour and salt into a large bowl and make a well in the centre. Pour the wet yeast mixture into the flour and form into a dough with your hands.
Transfer to a clean, floured surface and knead for 5-8 minutes until smooth and elastic. If too sticky, add a little flour; if too dry, add a teaspoon of water.
Place the dough in a clean, lightly oiled bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Leave to rest in a warm place for about 45 minutes or until doubled and puffed up.
Remove from the bowl and knead again for 2-3 minutes, then quarter the dough and shape into pizza bases.
