Prep time – 15 mins
Proof time – 90 mins
Ingredients
- 3 cups all purpose flour
- 1 cup warm water
- 2 tsp dry active yeast
- ½ tsp sugar
- ½ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp garlic powder
- ¼ tsp dry basil leaves
- 2 tbsp olive oil / any vegetable oil
Cooking Instructions
- In a bowl add 1 cup of warm water, 2 tsp of dry active yeast, ½ tsp of sugar, mix well and set aside for 10 mins. Water should not be hot, just lukewarm. If the water is hot, yeast will not get activated.
- After 10 minutes, the mixture will be frothy. This indicates that yeast has been activated. If the mixture is not frothy, discard the mixture and make a new one.
- In a food processor, attach the dough blade and add all purpose flour, olive / vegetable oil and salt.
- I have also added garlic powder and a little bit of basil to get a kick to the otherwise bland dough. It is totally optional. You can avoid it if you don’t want them.
- Attach the lid, run the food processor in the lowest speed and add the yeast mixture gradually.
- Once the dough comes together, grease your hands, take the dough out, mix just a few times and form into a ball.
- Grease a wide bowl, and place the dough in the bowl. Liberally coat the dough with oil and cover tightly.
- Keep it in a warm place till the volume doubles or around 1 ½ to 2 hours.
- Then slightly punch the dough and that’s it, your no knead homemade pizza dough is ready.
- You can go ahead and make the pizza immediately or refrigerate / freeze for later use.
