Simple pizza dough using baker's flour and wholemeal flour. It's easy to make and crusts well in a normal oven. - leo_web101

Dough: On a clean table, combine the flours and yeast then form a well in the middle.
Step 2

Dissolve the salt in the water.

Slowly pour the water into the middle of the flour, using one hand to gather in the flour to form a dough. Knead until the dough is smooth and elastic when a thumb is gently pushed into it.

Recipe Notes

from Australia’s Best Recipes team

Use toppings of choice, atta or wholemeal flour and tomato polpa. Based on Russell Jeavon's pizza dough but uses a slightly differing method. For the topping I use shredded smoked ham, 3 cheese pizza mix, cherry bocconcini, red onion, salami, pepperoni, mushrooms, fresh tomato and then garnish with fresh parsley and basil after cooking. Roast chicken torn with fresh tarragon, bocconcini and red capsicum is also very nice. For a great appetiser roll out 2 portions of dough, dimple with your fingers, drizzle olive oil over the top and top with fresh chopped rosemary and sea salt.
