Homemade Basic Pizza Dough from Scratch

Ingredients

All Purpose Flour (Maida) or Bread Flour – 2 Cups
Dry Active Yeast – 1n1/2tsp (If using Instant Yeast pls convert accordingly)
Salt – 1/2tsp
Sugar – 1tsp
Water + Milk – 1 Cup (half cup each)
Olive Oil – 1 Tbsp

Method I

• Warm the water +  milk mixture add Sugar, Yeast stir well and keep aside for 10minutes.
• Forms a foamy substance, mix well and now add this to the flour.

• Add salt and knead like a chapathi dough by adding 1tsp of olive oil in halfway.

• Now roll with rolling pin make even layer as you prepare chapathi and place in the oil greased or warm pan(So the dough won’t shrink in size).

• The dough preparation is same as first method. Instead of rolling immediately, allow the dough to sit in warm place.
• Preheat the oven to 200° F for 2 mins(just warming up) and keep the dough for 1-2hrs to raise.
• After fermentation the dough will double in size, very soft and bit sticky, apply more flour/oil to roll.
• I have used round 8″ inch cak pane and prepared a thick crust.
