For a delicious crunchy base, sprinkle polenta onto the kitchen bench instead of flour, when rolling out the pizza dough. To freeze pizza dough, let it rise first and then divide it into pieces for single pizzas. Wrap in cling film. Thaw in the fridge overnight before using it.

Ingredients

  • 3 tbsps. (1/4 cup) olive oil

  • 2 tsps. salt

  • 400 g (2 2/3 cups) plain flour, plus extra to dust

  • 1 cup (250 ml) luke-warm water

  • 2 tsps. (7 g sachet) dried yeast

Method

  • 01
    Whisk yeast and water in a heatproof jug. Stand for 5 minutes or until frothy.
  • 02
    Place flour and salt in a large bowl. Make a well in the centre. Pour in the yeast mixture and oil. Using your hands, mix the dough until it comes together and is smooth. Turn out onto a lightly floured work surface and knead briefly.
  • 03
    Place dough in a lightly oiled bowl and cover with cling wrap. Set aside in a warm place to rise for 30 minutes to an hour until it doubles in size.
  • 04
    Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently for another 5 minutes or until smooth. Divide dough and roll out pizza bases to desired size. Sprinkle a little flour on the bench before rolling to prevent dough from sticking. Your dough is now ready for your favourite pizza topping.
