Pizza dough is one of those things that just tastes better homemade. It’s also a bit of a flex to be able to whip up a delicious pizza out of a few basic pantry ingredients like this pizza with grapes and brie.
I have to credit Jamie Oliver for this recipe. I’ve been using his version which is very similar for years. My only change really is the recipe portion is halved, I feel it’s just a bit more manageable. And I use raw castor sugar for the sweetener.
Say goodbye to the tough supermarket pizza bases that are only good for playing bread frisby with, and hello to a whole new world of pizza goodness that's quick, easy and so delicious.

How to make Homemade Pizza Dough Recipe
Add warm water to a jar, add the yeast, oil and sugar, stir to combine. Let it sit for 3-4 minutes to activate the yeast.
Mix the flour and salt together in a large bowl.
Make a well in the centre, and pour in the liquid. Stir until the dough comes together, turn out onto a work surface and knead for a couple of minutes until the dough becomes smooth.
Dust the bowl with flour and add the dough back in, cover with a damp cloth and let it sit in a warm place for about 1 hour, until the dough has doubled in size.
Tip the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and ‘knock back’ the dough by kneading it to push the air out.
Divide the dough into 4 even pieces. Use immediately, rolling into pizza bases or refrigerate / freeze for later use.
