Pizza dough step by step

1. Take about 5 cups flour in a bowl and create a hole in the centre.
2. Add the yeast, sugar, salt and oil in the centre of the flour.
3. Slowly and gradually add the water to the flour to form a medium hard dough. Dont worry if it's hard since it will soften as the dough rises.
4. Knead the dough for about 10 minutes to make a smooth texture then cover with a plastic.
5. The longer you leave the dough the better it rises when cooking. Best is overnight for better results.
6. Roll out the dough to preferred size and add ingredients as desired.
7. Preheat the oven to 220-230°C for about 10-15 mins.
8. If you add semolina to the base of the pizza before cooking it helps avoid sticking and adds a great taste to the pizza.
9. Then cook the pizza for about 10-15 minutes until the dough rises and the cheese melts.
10. You can also freeze your pizzas to eat it ready whenever you feel lazy to cook.
11. All you have to do is cook it for 5-7 mins until the dough rises but not fully cooked.
