Pizza Dough Recipe

Hey Bride here is the easy Pizza dough recipe that tastes really good. I must say that until this recipe we would just buy the pizza bases from the shop as it tasted heaps better but this is has changed all that!

1 1/2 cups warm water
7g dry yeast (as they say on Master chef the yeast has to be exact!)
1 1/2 Tbs olive oil
400g plain flour
130g semolina
2 tsp salt
Extra flour for dusting

1. Put water, yeast, and oil in a bowl and whisk to dissolve yeast. Put flour, semolina, and salt on an electric mixer with the dough hook attached and pour in the yeast mixture on medium speed until dough comes together and is wet and silky. Increase speed and mix for 5 minutes.
2. Turn out dough into lightly oiled bowl, cover with plastic wrap and stand in a warm place until dough has doubled in size. Gently punch down the dough with your fists, then divide into portions required, we usally make 4 pizzas with the mix, but you can make more or less. Lightly dust with flour and punch the dough out to make your base.

The you can add whatever you like, I usally put tomato paste with garlic throug it first, then I add my meat, capsicum, mushrooms, olives, cheese and pineapple.
