Homemade Pizza Dough

This is my momma’s recipe for homemade pizza dough. I’ve always thought that it’s the BEST homemade pizza in the world! I have so many fond, childhood memories of us both making and decorating our pizza’s together. This dough is fluffy with a crispy golden base, no pizza oven required, all you need is your oven! It’s so budget friendly and easy to make, you won’t buy takeaway pizza anymore once you make it yourself.

Ingredients for Pizza Base (for one base only - multiply to your liking)
1 teaspoon yeast
¼ teaspoon sugar
¾ cup (185ml/6 fl oz) lukewarm water (or a little less)
1¼ cups (190g/6¾ oz) plain (all-purpose) flour
½ teaspoon salt

Method:

Place the yeast, sugar and water in
a bowl and mix to combine. Set aside
in a warm place for 10 minutes or until
bubbles appear. Place the flour and salt
in a bowl. Add the yeast mixture and stir
until it starts to come together, then use
your hands to mix until a dough forms.
Set aside in a warm place for 20 minutes
or until the dough has doubled in size.
Top with sauce and your choice of toppings then bake at 220 degrees Celsius for approx 15 minutes or until golden brown and delicious! For secret crispiness, place your pizza unto the rack around half way through cooking - once it’s strong enough to stand on its own. This will give you the most beautiful golden base!
