How to make pizza base recipe
To make the pizza base, take a bowl and add lukewarm milk, powdered sugar, and yeast. Cover it and set it aside for 10 minutes. Now, take a large mixing bowl and add all-purpose flour. Add salt and mix it well into the flour. Add the yeast mixture to the flour and mix it in. Gradually add water and knead a loose dough. Transfer the dough onto a platform. Sprinkle a little dry flour on the platform to prevent sticking. As the loose dough sticks to your hands, smooth it using a little oil gradually until it stops sticking and leaves the surface.
Take a bowl and grease it with oil. Place the dough in the greased bowl, cover it, and leave it to ferment for 30-35 minutes. After 30-35 minutes, you’ll notice the dough has doubled in size. Press the dough gently to release the air, then transfer it back onto the platform and divide it into two parts. Roll each part into a round shape.
Use a fork to poke holes evenly across the pizza base. Preheat the oven to 180°C for 10 minutes. Bake the pizza base in the preheated oven at 180°C for 5 minutes. Let it cool after baking.
Your homemade pizza base is now ready to be used for making pizza.
