Crazy dough

Serves:

5-6 pizzas

Ingredients

• 3 tbsp instant yeast granules
• 1 cup (250ml) milk, lukewarm
• 6 2/3 cups (1kg) plain flour
• 2 tsp white sugar
• 3 tsp baking powder
• 3 tsp salt
• 1 1/2 cups (390g) plain yoghurt
• 2 eggs
• 4 tbsp olive oil

Method

Step 1. Whisk yeast into milk until well combined, and leave to sit for 5-10 minutes until it becomes frothy, which means the yeast is activated. Place flour, sugar, baking powder and salt in the bowl of a mixer and stir to combine.

Step 2. With the mixer running, using a dough hook attachment, slowly add the yoghurt, eggs, olive oil and then milk mixture, until combined into a dough.

Step 3. Mix until you have a soft, pliable dough. If your dough is a little dry, you can add some more milk or water.

Step 4. Place the dough in a large plastic bag, and leave in a warm place for 20 minutes, until the dough rises and expands. You can use the dough immediately or place into the fridge to use within 7 days.
