Homemade pizza is so simple to make and you can put any toppings you like. In this video I am going to show you how to make pizza dough at home. I also show you how to make pizza sauce from scratch.

If you want to make homemade pizza sauce from scratch the ingredients are below

Ingredients : How to make pizza dough (makes 2 medium size pizzas or one large one. You can make more smaller pizzas)

500 grams plain flour

250 ml lukewarm water (may need more or less depending on the flour you use)

2 teaspoons salt

7 gram packet of yeast

2 tablespoon vegetable oil or olive oil

half a teaspoon of sugar (optional)

Mozarella cheese or cheese of your choice.

Method : How to make pizza dough at home

Get a cookie tray and put to the side

Put all the dry ingredients in a bowl.

Make a well in the centre of the bowl, add in the oil and water.

Mix this together to form a dough, knead it gently in the bowl, or on a lightly floured work surface. Cover the dough and put aside for an hour. (If you are out of time you can bake immediately)

While the dough is resting make some pizza sauce (look below)

About 5 minutes before the dough is ready, preheat oven to 230 Celsius

When the pizza dough is ready, put some flour on a work surface, put the dough on it.

Knead the dough gently until smooth and then roll it out on the work surface until quite thin. It will puff up in the oven.

Spread the homemade pizza sauce on the dough, leave a small boarder around the edges.
