Knead to a smooth dough. I put it on the counter top in my kitchen and knead. It should be a smooth and soft dough in 10 mts. Cover with a talc sheet, or cling wrap or wet cloth and keep it in a draft free place. I keep it in my oven itself. Switched off! This is how the yeast looks after frothing! The dough after kneading. Covered with a wet cloth. Leave the dough until it doubles in volume, say for 2 hrs. After 2 hrs flip it back on the kitchen table, and punch and knead, the idea is to knock off the air inside the dough. Do it for 5 mts. Put it back covered for another 20 mts. Knead for 2 mts ,take a oiled baking tray, pat it and spread it onthe tray in the desired shape u want Or divide into 4 balls, roll out each with the rolling pin. Put it on the tray. Prick it all over with a fork. Drizzle olive oil over the pizza. Bake in a preheated oven at 180 c for 20 mts . Or Put topping over this ,along with the sauce and mozzarella and bake same way at 180 c I have made a braided pizza, first timer make the one above a plain round one. I made one pizza out of the whole dough, kinda of deep dish pizza. It was excellent !
