Ultimate Thick Crust Pizza

INGREDIENTS

320g cool water8g salt8g sugar40g oil1 teaspoon instant dry yeast400g white bread flour

METHOD

Mix ingredients together in the order listed using a silicone spatula. It will be almost a porridge- trust the process and don't add any flour.
Cover and leave it for 30 minutes.
Now 'stretch and fold': Use the spatula to lift the dough and gently stretch it over itself. Rotate the bowl and repeat. Continue until the dough is in a neat ball.
Cover bowl and refrigerate for 12-24 hours- this is called cold proofing.
Around 2 hours before you are ready to bake, remove it from the fridge. Tip dough out onto a well greased 30×40cm tray.Sprinkle liberally with flour, then use your hands to press/stretch the dough out to fit pan. Sprinkle again with flour and cover loosely then set aside for 1.5 hours.
Preheat oven very well to 200°c during this time.
Bake pizza base for 8-10 minutes until golden on the bottom. Remove and top with sauces/toppings/cheese.Place back in the oven for a further 5-10 minutes until done.
All baking times are just estimates as every oven varies.
