Homemade pizza dough

Ingredients 1 3/4 cups of water 1 tbsp active dry yeast 1 tsp salt 2 tbsp sugar 4 cups of flour 1/2 tsp baking powder 1/4 cup oil

Directions For the dough Pour 1 1/2 cups warm water into a large bowl; sprinkle with yeast and let stand until foamy, about 5 minutes. Whisk sugar, oil, and salt into yeast mixture. Add flour and stir until a sticky dough forms. Transfer dough to an oiled bowl and brush top with oil. Cover bowl with plastic wrap and set aside in a warm place until dough has d8oubled in bulk, about 1 hour. When the dough has risen, transfer it back to the again lightly floured surface and knead lightly to knock out the air. Roll carefully with a floured rolling pin before transferring to the cooking pan line wid parchment paper Now remove the dough to a flour-surface and knead it around a bit to push the air out with your hands – this is called knocking back the dough. You can either use it immediately, or keep it, wrapped in clingfilm, in the fridge (or freezer) until required. If using straight away, divide the dough up into as many little balls as you want to make pizzas – this amount of dough is enough to make about six to eight medium pizzas

Happy cooking :)
