Add flour, salt and yeast to a stand mixer bowl
750 g Woolworths cake flour, 3 tsp salt, 3 tsp instant yeast
Whisk together and place bowl in machine locked into position.
Attached dough hook
Turn machine on to slow speed and drizzle water into side of bowl whilst mixing. Stop adding water when the dough comes together. Knead for 5 minutes in machine.
480-525 g water
I like to knead for a further 5 minutes by hand on the counter.
Place dough in a well oiled bowl big enough to allow dough to double in size.
Olive oil to coat proofing bowl
Cover with damp cloth and leave to proof until doubled.
You can leave dough in fridge overnight at this point.
When doubled in size divide into 8 portions.
Roll into 8 dough balls.
Place on tray dusted in flour. Cover with damp cloth and proof for another 2 hours or until doubled in size. Hand shape pizza bases or roll into desired size.
I pre cook my bases by dry frying in a big frying pan ahead of time. This gives me time to enjoy myself if I have people around. I freeze what I don’t use for next time
