Ingredients
Dough Ingredients
- 1 1/3 cups bread flour (or plain/all-purpose flour) You can use all-purpose flour as an alternative.
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 3/4 tsp salt
- 3/4 tsp sugar
- 2 tsp olive oil (or any other oil)
- 1/2 cup water (cold tap water)
- 1 tbsp extra flour (for dusting)
- 2 tsp vegetable oil (optional, for brushing crust) Can be canola or other neutral oil.
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 250°C / 480°F (230°C fan) and place the shelf in the top quarter of the oven.
- Lightly spray a pizza pan or baking tray with oil to prevent sticking.
- Prepare your pizza sauce and toppings beforehand.
Making the Dough
- To make the dough using a food processor: Combine the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar in the processor. With the motor running, add the olive oil and water, mixing until the dough forms a ball (approximately 40 seconds).
- If you prefer hand kneading: In a bowl, mix the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar. Gradually add the olive oil and water, stirring until the dough comes together. Knead for about 3 minutes on a floured surface until smooth.
- Roll out the dough to your desired thickness, usually around 1/4 inch for a thinner crust.
Baking
- Once rolled out, place the dough onto your prepared pizza pan. Add your sauce, cheese, and toppings.
- Bake in the oven until the crust is golden and delicious, typically about 10-15 minutes.
Notes
For a crispier crust, pre-bake the rolled-out dough for a few minutes before adding toppings. You may also add herbs or garlic powder to the dry ingredients for extra flavor.
