One Bowl Basic Pizza Crust step by step
- In a large bowl, combine the flour, yeast, salt and sugar..
- Make a dent in the middle and add olive oil, and water warmed to the touch..
- Use a spatula to quickly combine the ingredients..
- Using the palm of your hand, knead by pushing down on the dough and push out. After about 5 to 6 minutes, when the dough stretches, form it into a ball..
- Cover with plastic wrap and place in a warm spot. Allow to rise for about 1 hour until doubled in size..
- Use your hand to punch the dough releasing any air, then divide into 3. Cover with wrap to prevent drying and leave for 5 to 10 minutes..
- Making sure that the dough doesn't stick, use your hands to spread out the dough on a pizza pan greased with olive oil..
- Adjust the shape so the center is thin and create a lip around the edge. (This is easily done if you work on the spot closest to you while turning the pizza pan)..
- A crust stretched to about 25 to 26 cm in circumference will be crispy. Roll out the crust with a rolling pin if you prefer..
- Brush the entire crust with olive oil (olive oil on the edges will produce a beautiful finish). Spread on pizza sauce and your favorite toppings..
- Bake at 250°C for 6-7 minutes. The picture shows a Margherita pizza with mozzarella and basil. It's my favorite..
- Make it more authentic by preparing with Herb infused Olive Oil.
- This is a variation I made for a Christmas Party "Salad Pizza". https://cookpad.com/us/recipes/154283-salad-topped-pizza.
