Home made pizza



I made home made pizza on Saturday night. I love the way the house smells on home made pizza nights. Anton wasn't home on the night so it was only for us two. We watched a movie and went out for ice-cream afterwards. We were caught in the rain but didn't matter cause it was a hot night!

Pizza dough recipe:

1.2 kg of plain flour
3 sachets of dry yeast
1 tablespoon olive oil
5 teaspoons of salt
warm water

Method:

1- In a bowl sift flour and mix in salt.
2- In a cup pour in the dry yeast and add warm water to dissolve, add 1 teaspoon of sugar and mix. Put on stove to keep warm (next to an on burner). When it starts to bubble and raise, pour into the bowl.
3- Mix in the oil with extra warm water and add to the mixture stirring in well with a wooden spoon.
4- Keep adding warm water until all the flour is mixed. The dough should feel soft and moist.
5- Roll into a ball and put into a previously oiled big container (I use a big saucepan). Put a lid on and bring to the stove, again I leave a burner on and place the saucepan nearby to keep warm.
6- Leave there until the dough has doubled or tripled in size.
