Make your own lunch homemade pizza Ingredients: 375ml (1 1/2 cups) warm water 2 tsp (7g/1 sachet) dried yeast Pinch of caster sugar 600g (4 cups) plain flour 1 tsp Australian Natural Sea Salt 60ml (1/4 cup) olive oil, plus extra for brushing Your choice of pizza toppings Method: Step 1: Combine the water, yeast and sugar in a small bowl. Set aside for 5 minutes or until foamy. Combine the flour and salt in a large bowl and make a well in the centre. Add the yeast mixture and oil. Use a round-bladed knife in a cutting motion to mix until the mixture is combined. Use your hands to bring the dough together in the bowl. Step 2: Brush a bowl lightly with oil. Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 10 minutes or until smooth and elastic. Place in the prepared bowl and turn to coat in oil. Cover with plastic wrap and set aside in a warm, draught-free place to rise for 30 minutes or until dough doubles in size. Step 3: Divide dough into thirds. Flour the bench and roll out each piece into 2530cm rounds. Place each base onto either a pizza stone or a baking tray lined with baking paper.
