Ingredients

  • 1 and ½ cups flour
  • 1 teaspoon instant yeast
  • ½ cup warm water
  • ½ tablespoon sugar
  • ¾ teaspoon salt
  • ⅛ cup olive oil

* Note : If you are using active dry yeast then use 1 tablespoon, see my notes

Instructions

  • Take warm water in a bowl, add sugar and salt.
  • Then add the yeast and whisk it well.
  • Then add maida.
  • Knead it to soft pliable dough.
  • Set aside to rest undisturbed for at least an hour in a warm place.
  • When you open and see after an hour the dough must have doubled in size.
  • Knock back the dough to release the air trapped and then use the homemade Pizza dough.

Notes

  • Use Lukewarm Water - Don’t use hot water. It kills the yeast. Use only warm water.
  • Don’t Skip The Resting Time - Letting the dough rise gives it that soft, airy texture and better flavor.
  • Oil Your Hands Before Kneading - Oiling hands before kneading helps from sticking and makes kneading smoother.
  • Cover The Dough Properly - Important to use damp cloth or cling wrap so the dough doesn’t dry out while rising.
  • Dust With Flour Sparingly - Don’t use too much of dry flour. It can make your crust dry.
  • Preheat Your Oven - A hot oven helps the pizza cook evenly and gives that perfect golden crust.
  • Don’t Skip Resting Time - Letting the dough rise gives it that soft, airy texture and better flavor.
