Easy to make Pizza Dough Recipe

INGREDIENTS:
1½ tsp dried yeast
1/2 tsp sugar I don't use this I use organic honey.
1½ cup lukewarm water
3½ cups white flour I use whole wheat (organic if I have it)
1½ tsp salt I use herbs or cinnamon instead
1 large egg
olive oil

METHOD:

Sprinkle yeast and sugar into warm water and mix.

Allow to sit for 10 minutes until mixture begins to bubble.

Combine flour and salt in large bowl, make a well in the centre, pour in yeast mixture and beaten egg and gradually work in the flour to make a dough.

Turn out onto lightly floured surface and knead thoroughly until smooth and elastic - at least 5 minutes.(the boys do this part while I tidy the kitchen)

Use only enough flour to prevent the dough from sticking to the surface.

Place in lightly oiled bowl, turn dough to coat with oil and cover with a clean cloth.

Allow to rise for 45 minutes, or until doubled in volume.

Punch down and then use as directed in recipe. (Use rolling motion with fists to force-stretch dough to size of pizza pan)
