Pizza

Ingredients (serves 4)

1 cup plain flour

1 teaspoon dried yeast

Pinch salt

2 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil

5 tablespoons warm water

Extra flour for dusting rolling pin

140g tub pizza sauce

1 cup grated cheese (1/2 cheddar, 1/2 mozzarella, or just mozzarella)

Method

1. Combine the flour, yeast and salt in a bowl. Make a well in the centre of the mixture. Add the oil and water and use a wooden spoon to combine until a dough almost forms.
2. Turn the mixture out onto a lightly floured surface. Use the palm of your hand to knead the dough for 2-3 minutes or until smooth. Place into a lightly oiled bowl, cover with plastic wrap and set aside for 1 hour, or until the dough doubles in size.
3. Preheat oven to 240°C. Use your fist to punch down the dough. Knead until smooth. Using a lightly floured rolling pin, roll the dough out until big enough to line a lightly greased 27cm pizza tray.
4. Spread pizza sauce over pizza, then sprinkle with cheese and any other toppings that you desire. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until cheese is golden and the base is crispy.
