Homemade Pizza

This take minimum effort and gives maximum effect. Who doesn't love that!?

To make the pizza dough:

Dissolve a sachet of dry yeast in a small amount of warm water and allow to mix.

Place 4 cups of flour into a large bowl and add 1.5 cups of warm water with 4 tablespoons of olive oil and the dissolved yeast.

Mix these together with your hands until the mixture is combined and doughy, kneading the dough will also help you release any frustrations you may have had during your day! 

Now, the waiting game: once the dough has been well kneaded and makes a smooth neat ball, place the dough ball in the large bowl with a tablespoon of olive oil and cover with cling film - now leave for 2-3 hours and allow the dough to rise/expand.

Now the fun part! Toppings:

For my rustic margarita pizza, I spread a layer of tomato paste over the pizza base and added diced baby tomatoes, pesto, pulled mozzarella, red onion and freshly chopped basil. I then put this in the preheated oven (set to 200 degrees C) for 15 minutes, until golden. 

And you're done! Enjoy!
