Recipes for Home and Restaurant

by Nadine Lloyd

Ingredients:  (Makes two medium round or one large rectangular base)

  • 1 sachet (2 tsp) active dry yeast

  • 2 cups bread flour – plus extra (for dusting)

  • 1 teaspoon caster sugar

  • ¼ teaspoons fine pink Himalayan salt

  • 1¼ cups lukewarm water

  • 2-3 cloves garlic – crushed into a paste

  • ¼ teaspoon fine white pepper – to season

  • Garlic oil – for greasing

Method:

Either use a stand mixer fitted with the dough hook attachment or a bread machine on the dough setting.

Combine the yeast, flour, sugar, warm water, garlic, salt, and pepper together.

Continue kneading until fully incorporated and a soft smooth dough comes together.

 

Generously coat the inside of a large bowl with a layer of garlic oil.

Place the dough ball into the bowl.

Generously coat the ball of dough in garlic oil.

 

Cover and seal the bowl with cling wrap, then place a tea towel over the top.

Set aside for 1-2 hours, or until the dough has doubled in size.

 

Lightly flour a clean flat work surface.

Using clean, oiled hands, knock back the dough.

 

Evenly divide the dough into 2-3 balls.

Place each ball onto a baking tray lined with baking paper.

Drizzle each ball with extra garlic oil.

Cover each tray with cling wrap.

 

Set aside for a further 25-30 minutes before flattening into the pizza shape of your choice.
