How To Make Pizza Dough

Instructions

1. To make homemade pizza dough we first get our yeast and sugar and add it to a bowl and pour in about half a cup of water. Mix well until yeast starts to dissolve then leave it to activate for about five minutes.
2. With this going on also dilute the salt in a little warm water and put the flour in a large (very large) bowl and create a well in the middle.
3. After five minutes or so the yeast will start to become foamy and now it is time to add this into our flour along with the salted water. Add in a dash of olive oil and start to mix well while slowly adding your water.
4. Once all the mixture is holding together well empty out onto a lightly floured surface and knead the dough until you get a smooth elastic feeling to the pizza dough mixture.
5. When this is achieved place the pizza dough back into the bowl and cover with a cloth and leave to rise for about 2 hours.
6. After this time your homemade pizza dough is ready to cut up into whatever size you require.
7. You may wish to divide your pizza dough up into even amounts and allow a further 30 minutes to rise. This is optional and you by no means have to do this.
   
   Thats it you can now start to make pizza margherita or pizza diavola and enjoy fantastic pizzas with your friends using your homemade pizza dough. Believe me you will never go back to frozen pizza again!
   
   Buon Appetito!
