RECIPE NOTES & TIPS
For the fluffiest crust, always check your yeast is active before mixing. Frothy yeast = perfect rise.
Store yeast in the fridge once opened for a longer shelf life.
Always use lukewarm water – never hot.
Grease your rising bowl well to prevent sticking.
To speed up rising, place the bowl near a sunny window or in a just-warmed (then switched-off) oven.
For a slow rise, refrigerate the dough overnight (up to 3 days) in a ziplock bag.
Freeze raw dough for up to 1 month. Defrost overnight in the fridge, then bring to room temperature before rolling.
Freeze baked bases (without toppings) for up to 3 months – perfect for super-fast dinners.
One batch makes 2 large pizzas, 4 medium, or 8 mini bases.
Conventional method: Combine yeast, water and sugar in a bowl and let it foam. Add to flour, oil and salt, then knead by hand for 5 minutes before resting and baking as above.
