  • Take yeast and sugar in a bowl and add some lukewarm water. Mix it well and rest it for 10 minutes.
    Note: If the water is too hot or too cold the yeast will not activate.
  • After resting this mixture for 10 minutes you will see the bubbles forming on top of the mixtures this indicates that yeast is activated
  • Add the flour to the stand mixture, and add some salt, activated yeast, and olive oil.
    Note – add about half olive oil in the beginning and then the rest half while kneading.
  • Start kneading at low speed and increase once the dough starts combining.
  • Add little water at a time.
  • After adding all the water you can see the dough is very sticky but this water will absorb when we knead the dough for 25-30 mins.
  • Continue the kneading process for at least 25 minutes in the stand mixer itself. Add olive oil in between in 2 parts while kneading.
  • After about 30 mins knead the dough on counter for 5-7 mins.
  • Grease the entire bowl with the olive oil to keep the dough for proofing in the bowl.
  • Create a dough ball and leave it for proofing in the greased bowl.
  • Note –  If you're living in a cold place then you can also place it inside the oven which is not hot but at room temperature or any of the cabinets which are a little bit warmer than the normal counter temperature.
  • Let’s make Pizza Sauce while the dough is resting
    Take the tomatoes and put the slit on the back side of the tomatoes
  • Now boil them in hot water
  • Let the tomatoes cool down and then, remove the tomato skin.
  • Make tomato purée and pass it through a sieve to filter out seeds and tomato strands.
  • Heat oil in a pan. Once the oil is heated add some garlic and let it roast for a few seconds.
  • Add the onion and let the onion cook until they become translucent.
  • Once the onions are cooked, add capsicum or bell pepper and again let this cook for sometime
  • Once the capsicum is cooked add tomato puree prepared and add the spices and the herbs so that it can infuse all the flavours in tomatoes.
  • Let the mixture cook until reduced and it becomes thick in consistency. While stiring in between.
  • Take the proofed dough on the countertop and gently fold it.
  • Divide the dough ball and roll one pizza base at a time.
  • Take the rolled dough on baking tray and add the toppings of your choice.
  • Bake it in the preheated oven at 475 Fahrenheit for 12 minutes.
  • Your delicious pizza is now ready to be served.
