Here's a recipe that's sure to be a hit at your next outdoor gathering.
Super Simple Dough
Ingredients
4 cups all-purpose flour
4 teaspoons dry active yeast
1 teaspoon caster sugar
1¾ cups warm water
Pinch of salt
1 tablespoon olive oil
Method
Dissolve the sugar in warm water in a small bowl and sprinkle yeast on top. Mix well and then leave it for 10 minutes until it looks foamy.
Sift the flour and salt into a separate mixing bowl, then pour in the foamy yeast mixture and oil.
Form a dough and knead for 5-8 minutes on a clean, well-floured surface. If it begins to feel too dry, add a teaspoon of water; if it feels too sticky, add a sprinkle of flour.
Place the dough in a greased bowl, and cover with a plastic wrap. Leave to rest in a warm place for about 45 minutes or until doubled in size/
Knead the dough again for 2 minutes and roll out into round pizza bases. Voilà!
