Ingredients

  • 1 and 1/2 cups all purpose flour/ maida
  • 1 teaspoon instant yeast
  • 1/2 cup warm water
  • 1/2 tablespoon sugar
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 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

    • The dough shouldn’t be sticky…if so then your dough is watery so add in a little more flour. The dough shouldn’t be very tight, if it is then the pizza will be hard.
    • If you are using it at once then proceed else you can wrap it a cling film and refrigerate it. Else you can store in a big box(having enough space for the dough to grow in size) and refrigerate it. Take and keep the dough outside at least 30mins before making pizza.
    • The resting time totally depends on the type of yeast and the climatic conditions. I usually place the bowl near my stove.
    • The name of the instant yeast I used here is Falcon, my friend got this from a  whole sale shop.
    • If you are using instant yeast no need to proof it, add it along with water and just mix it. But if you are using active dry yeast then you need to proof it then add. Check here for more details.
    • It is again a no fail recipe. The only thing to keep in mind is the measurements and the yeast activeness.
