Ingredients
- 450g strong white or plain flour
- 1 x 7g sachet fast action dried yeast
- 1 tsp fine sea salt
- 1 tbsp olive oil, plus more for the bowl
Step by step
Get ahead
If you don’t use all the dough at once, it will keep in an oiled bag or covered bowl in the fridge for 2-3 days or freezes well
- The night before, put 300g of the flour, the yeast, salt, oil and 300ml lukewarm water in a bowl. Mix well with your hands to form a claggy dough. Don’t worry if it looks sticky – it should be very wet rather than a stiff dough that you can knead. Cover with clingfilm and leave in a cool-ish place overnight (but not the fridge).
-
Shortly before you’re ready to make the pizzas, sprinkle over the remaining 150g flour. Knead for a minute in the bowl to combine, then knead for 10 minutes on a lightly floured work surface until smooth (you can do this in a stand mixer if you like). Transfer to a clean oiled bowl to rest for 30 minutes while you preheat the oven, prep the toppings and carry on with the pizza recipes.TipIf you don't have much time, try our quick pizza dough recipe - ready in 20 minutes.
