THIN CRUST DOUGH


Ingredients Required

  • 1 3/4 cups of unbleached plain flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon of salt

  2. Combine 1 3/4 cups of unbleached plain flour with 1/2 teaspoon of salt in a bowl or food processor.
  3. Pour the water combination into the bowl (or food processor) and mix until ready to knead (around 30 second in a food processor). If using a bowl, mix with a spoon until you have a neat ball.
  4. Prepare a lightly spinkled surface with flour. Turn out dough and knead for around 2-3 minutes. Lightly cover your finger tips with flour if the mixture is a little sticky.
  5. Roll out by hand for a 12'' base.
  6. Place in 12'' lighly oiled oven pan. Press out dough to form a slight lip.
  7. Prepare and apply your sauce and topping or choice.
  8. Cook in a pre-heated over (500F) for 8-12 minutes (times may vary based on different ovens. Fan assited oven will be quicker!).
  9. Remove from oven, slice and share with your favourite friends and/or family members :)

Additional Information



  • As stated above, fan assisted ovens tend to cook pizza's quicker than traditional ovens.
  • You can usually reheat your pizza in around 5 minutes. But beware that it's not advisable to reheat pizzas with a meat topping.
