Pizza Dough
for 6
440g water
25g fresh yeast
1 1/2 tsps sugar
400g plain flour
400g strong flour
60g olive oil
1 1/2 tsps fine salt
extra flour or better still fine polenta for rolling
-
Place water, yeast and sugar in the Thermomix and whizz 10 seconds speed 5.
-
Add the flour, salt and oil.
-
Knead for 3.5 minutes
-
Place in a VERY large oiled bowl and cover with cling film. If it starts to rise to the top before you are ready to use it then punch it back down and cover again.
-
About 30 mins before you are going to make the pizzas you should divide the dough into 6 portions, form them into nice balls and leave on a nice floury sheet covered in oiled cling film to relax a little.
-
When you are ready to use the dough roll out the first 2 a little, leave a moment, then roll fully, (it is good to do this in 2 stages as the dough resists being stretched at first but if you give it a moment to recover it will be easier). Be sure to have tons of flour or fine polenta to stop it sticking to the table and the pizza peel.
