Quick and easy pizza dough ready in 20 minutes.

Ingredients

• 1 sachet of active yeast (2.25tsp)
• 1 tsp sugar
• 1 cup warm water
• 2.5 cups all-purpose bread flour
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tsp salt

To make your pizzas:

1. Preheat oven to 200 C
2. Put the warm water in a bowl and stir in the yeast and sugar.
3. Add the flour, salt and oil and stir until it’s mixed well.
4. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until the yeast is frothy.
5. The dough will be loose and a bit messy but that’s how it’s supposed to look!
6. Let the dough rest for 5 minutes.
7. Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface. If you’re making mini pizzas, separate into 4 portions.
8. Roll or pat it out into a round shape (or not, it can be whatever shape you like!).
9. Choose your toppings – anything goes! Start with the sauce, then add cheese and put the rest of the toppings on top of the cheese.
10. Bake the pizza at 220 C for 15-20 minutes for one large pizza or 10-15 minutes for the smaller pizzas.
