Ingredients
- 400g Plain Flour
- 2 tsp dried yeast
- 2 tsp salt
- 1 cup warm water
- 3 tbsp olive oil
Method
- Place flour, yeast and salt in a bowl and mix.
- Gradually add the water and olive oil then knead by hand for 7-10 minutes until the dough is smooth.
- 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 volume.

- Divide dough in two and roll out pizza bases. Sprinkle a little flour on the bench before rolling to prevent dough from sticking.
FRESH TIP
For a delicious crunchy base, sprinkle polenta onto the kitchen bench instead of flour, when rolling out the pizza dough.
