Everyone likes their pizza their own way so in this recipe I show you how to make the just the dough. You can make your pizza thin and crispy or even thick and soft and that’s what I love about it. Skip the next delivery order and try out to make your own pizza with just 6 ingredients.

You can also prepare a bunch of pizza doughs and leave them in plastic bags formed into balls in a freezer. The recipe down below is for approximately three individual sized pizzas.

Ingredients
Instructions
-
In a bowl add in the water, sugar and yeast and whisk with a stand mixer for 3 minutes. Cover and allow to rest for 5 minutes.
If you don’t own a stand mixer, you can simply use a large mixing bowl and mix the dough with a wooden spoon or rubber spatula. -
Add in the olive oil, flour and salt. Whisk them on a low speed until the dough is formed. Then use your hands and knead the dough for 5 minutes.
If it bounces back slowly it's ready, if not keep kneading. -
Cover the bowl with a towel and let it rest for 1 hour.
-
Pre-heat the oven at 180. Divide the dough into 3 pieces. On a floured surface shape the dough. Then transfer each pizza dough to a pan.
-
With the use of your fingers, push dents into the surface of the dough. This will later prevent it from bubbling.
-
Lastly add your favourite toppings.
My own favourites are tomato sauce, mozzarella cheese and prosciutto. -
Cook for 12-15 minutes at 180°C.
