Ingredients for Ange S Awesome Pizza Base

  • 500g strong bread flour
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 7g active dry yeast
  • Hot Water

How to Make Ange S Awesome Pizza Base

  1. In a food processor, combine 500g strong bread flour, 1 tsp salt, and 7g active dry yeast.
  2. With the food processor running, slowly add 300ml of warm tap water (around 105-115°F).
  3. Once the dough forms a ball, turn it out onto a lightly floured surface.
  4. Knead the dough gently for a minute or two, then place it in a lightly oiled bowl.
  5. Cover the bowl with a clean tea towel and let it rise in a warm place for at least 1 hour, or until doubled in size. (Optional step - you can often proceed without this rise)
  6. Once risen (or after waiting period if skipped), gently roll out the dough to your desired thickness and shape for your pizzas.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
