Easy Pizza dough recipe please.

WantToBeSE

Does anyone have a quick and easy pizza dough recipe please?
I have everything I think I would need to make one (oil, flour, salt, yeast etc).


I have a breadmaker, so any suggestions for a recipe that I could do in there would be handy. Also, one that can be frozen would be great. Thanks in Advance.

OH has just made some pizza bases using this recipe from the Takeaway Secrets book..it says this makes 2 bases but he makes double this and we get 6 bases altogether...it freezes well.

300g strong bread flour
1 tsp salt
1/2 tbsp sugar
1 tbsp veg oil
1/2 tsp dry yeast
210ml water

Combine, knead, from into a ball, put into large oiled bowl, cover and sit in a warm place for an hour or until it doubles in size.

(recipe says to then divide up into individual balls depending on how many bases then refrigerate in bows for 2 hours but we don't bother with this part)

I use this jamie Oliver one, I halve the amounts and it makes about 4 bases (we like them extra thin)

I also use this recipe for the pizza sauce. It's fab on pasta too, you can add all sorts to it. I use pasatta and skip the sieving bit which I found both messy, and a pain - pasatta gives you a smooth sauce from the off.

I often make up uncooked bases with sauce and then freeze them ready to whip out and add toppings for a quick pizza dinner. Just make sure you still cook them on a tray else you end up with a heap of pizza in the bottom of the oven .

I make this one in my breadmaker

225ml/8oz water
30ml/2tbsp olive oil
450g/1lb strong white bread flour
1.5 tsp salt
2 tsp sugar
1.5 tsp easy blend yeast

I bung it on the dough setting. Makes 2 pizzas big enough for 2 people with sides. It also freezes well. I wrap it in cling film and freeze it that way

Just to add you don't need to put the sugar in any of those recipes.

That would be great, as I am trying to reduce my sugar intake. But don't you need the sugar to feed the yeast?

No, you don't use sugar in pizza base.

I have one on the go in the BM as I type.

150 grams strong white flour
3/4 teaspoon yeast
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon poppy seeds (optional - I add this cos we like them!)
a splash of olive oil (probably about 10 ml, I do it by guesswork)
85 ml water

This makes one base that serves Mr LW and myself. I rest it in the airing cupboard for an hour before I do the topping, which is typically:

Tomato puree
Extra extra mature Cheddar, grated
1/4 onion, diced
2 Qu0rn bacon-style strips, cut into pieces
Sliced tomato
Pineapple chunks - I get pineapples from the market, get Mr LW to cut them up, and freeze them; it's not tinned pineapple, though I expect you could use that.
Fresh basil from the windowsill

HTH.

ETA The pizza base recipe is slightly adapted from the one in the instruction book for the BM; the recipe as set is for twice the amount (eg 300 g flour, etc) and makes 2 bases. I used to do this and freeze one, it does freeze well; but I found it better to halve the amount and do one at a time because I often literally didn't have the space in the freezer for the 2nd half.
