Instructions

Step 1

To make the pizza dough

Step 2

Dissolve yeast and sugar in warm water in a bowl. Rest this until the yeast mixture forms a creamy foam, 10-15 minutes.

Step 3

Mix the flour and salt in a large bowl. Pour in the yeast mixture and mix well until the dough comes nicely together. Knead for 5 minutes or so.

Step 4

Allow it to rest for at least 30 minutes.

Step 5

Roll and spread the dough into an approximately 12-inch disk. Transfer to a greased pizza pan, a skillet or a sheet pan.

Step 6

Pizza assembly

Step 7

Spread the pizza sauce using a spoon and sprinkle all the toppings.

Step 8

Bake at 205°C OR 425°F for 15-20 minutes or longer. Bake until bubbly and hot, brown and delicious looking.

Step 9

This recipe provides measurements for a medium crust pizza base, if you would like a pizza with a heavy topping, it will be better to use a thicker crust.

Step 10

Here are the quantities for the thick crust pizza base (for 2 people)

Step 11

3/4 oz (25g) fresh yeast or 2 teaspoons active dry yeast* - see notes for yeast below

Step 12

3 cups spelt flour (450 g) plus some extra to dust

Step 13

1/2 teaspoon salt

Step 14

1 tablespoon of extra-virgin olive oil

Step 15

1 1/3 cup water (lukewarm)

Step 16

Yeast:

Step 17

for best results use fresh or active dry yeast

Step 18

instant or rapid-rise yeast is also good and for the latter, you do not need to let your dough proof.

Step 19

Make your own cheese blend

Step 20

My absolute favourite pizza cheese blend is equal parts of:

Step 21

cheddar

Step 22

mozzarella

Step 23

provolone (smoked even better if you can find it)

Step 24

Just get equal amounts of cheddar, provolone and mozzarella and throw them in your food processor. There you'll have a freshly grated pizza cheese, just the way it should be.
