Equipment

  • Oven
  • Bowl
  • Tea towel
  • Proving draw (optional)
  • Electric kneeder (optional)
  • Rolling pin
  • Pizza tray
  • Mixing spoon

Ingredients
  

  • 450 grams Plain flour Plus extra for dusting
  • 7 grams Packet yeast
  • 2 tsp Cane sugar
  • 1.5 tsp Salt
  • 2 tbsp Olive oil
  • 275 ml Warm water
  • 1.5 tsp Xanthan gum

Instructions
 

  • Add all dry ingredients to a bowl and mix with a spoon
  • Add the wet ingredients to the bowl and start to mix together using your hands until a dough forms in the bowl (optional: use an electric kneading machine)
  • Continue to knead the dough in the bowl (or on a floured surface) for 10-15 minutes and form into a ball and pop into the bowl
  • Cover the dough with a tea towel and place in a warm room or in a proving draw
  • Leave the dough to double in size (takes 1.5-2 hours)
  • Pre-heat oven to 180°C fan or 200°C conventional
  • Separate the dough into two to create two bases
  • Heavily flour a work surface and place one portion of the dough onto it

Option 1: Deep dish pizza

  • Using a floured rolling pin, carefully roll out the dough until about 2-3cm thick and shape into a circle with your hands
  • Place the dough onto a pizza tray and add on your toppings (I find using a spatula to help me lift the pizza base onto the tray helps)
  • Bake for 22-25 minutes (until golden)

Option 2: Stuffed crust pizza

  • Using a floured rolling pin, carefully roll out the dough until about 2-3cm thick and shape into a circle with your hands
  • Place thick slices of cheese (or other filling) about 1cm from the edge of the base
  • Fold the edge of the base over the filling and press down slightly with your fingers so the dough attaches to the inner base
  • Carefully place the dough onto a pizza tray and add on the rest of your toppings (I find using a spatula to help me lift the pizza base onto the tray helps)
  • Bake for 22-25 minutes (until golden)

Option 3: Romana style pizza (recommended)

  • Using a floured rolling pin, carefully roll out the dough until about 0.5cm thick and shape into a circle with your hands (this will create quite a large, thin base)
  • Carefully place the dough onto a pizza tray and add on the rest of your toppings (I find using a spatula to help me lift the pizza base onto the tray helps)
  • Bake for 16-20 minutes (until golden)
