A quick and easy recipe for making pizza bases using a skillet, perfect for freezing and later use.
In a small bowl, mix the yeast, sugar, and warm water. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until it becomes frothy.
Ensure the water is warm, not hot, to activate the yeast properly.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the yeast mixture, flour, salt, and olive oil. Mix until a dough forms.
Mix with a spoon initially, then use your hands to bring the dough together.
Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 5 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Kneading helps develop the gluten, which gives the dough its structure.
Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for 30 minutes or until doubled in size.
A warm oven (turned off) can serve as a good spot for the dough to rise.
Punch down the dough and divide it into 6 equal portions. Roll each portion into an 8-inch circle.
Use a rolling pin or your hands to shape the dough evenly.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Cook each dough round for about 2 minutes on each side until lightly browned.
Ensure the skillet is hot before placing the dough to prevent sticking.
Cool the cooked bases and store them in an airtight container or freeze for later use.
Place parchment paper between each base to prevent sticking.
