Make bubbly, perfect pizza with this easiest pizza dough recipe for beginners with only simple techniques and less preparation required.
Pour in the water and olive oil and continue to mix on medium speed for 8-10 minutes. You want just enough liquid for the dough to form a ball.
Towards the end of the rising time, preheat the oven to 500°F (250°C). Place a rimless baking sheet in the oven to preheat.
Turn the proofed dough onto a lightly floured surface, knock back and divide into 6 equal pieces (roughly 8 oz/225g) each.
Shape each piece of dough into a smooth ball, cover with a kitchen towel and allow to rest for 20 minutes. (At this point you can place the balls into Individual ziplock bags and store in the fridge for up to 2 days or can be frozen for 6 weeks)
When ready to bake your pizza, lightly dust a large piece of parchment paper with semolina and set aside.
Top the pizza with ½ cup ( 4 fl oz/120 ml) of pizza sauce, followed by 4 oz (115 g) cheese and pepperonis.
Lift the parchment paper with the pizza and place on the hot baking sheet. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the crust is bubbly and the cheese is toasty around the edges.
