Pizza Dough
2 cups (240 g) maida (refined flour)
1 tsp dry yeast or 10 g compressed (frozen) yeast
½ tsp sugar
½ tsp salt
1 tsp olive oil
Water to mix the dough
Method
1. For the dough, dissolve sugar in 1/2 cup of lukewarm water. Sprinkle dry yeast over the water, and if using compressed yeast, dissolve it in the water. Leave in a draught-free place to froth. It should froth within 10-15 minutes. In case it does not, you know that your yeast is ineffective, hence, change your packet.
2. Add the salt to the maida and rub the oil into it. Pour the yeast solution into it, along with some water. Mix the dough and knead it into smooth, but not stiff dough, using water as required.
3. Place the dough in a greased, deep utensil. Cover the utensil with a thick, damp cloth or cling foil. Place in a warm draught-free place to rise.
4. When the dough rises, punch it in the centre, smoothen it and leave to rise once again. The second rise will take a much shorter time. To test, press into the dough lightly and the impression should fill up gradually.
