Where to find ingredients
Find high-quality wheat flour, dry yeast, and powdered milk at local Kiribati general stores or major supermarkets like Tanaea Trading or J&J. You can also source fresh ingredients at local island markets for better quality produce and base items.
Preparation method
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the water, sugar, salt, olive oil, and powdered milk.
- In a separate small container, dissolve the dry yeast in a splash of lukewarm water, ensuring it is not hot to avoid killing the yeast.
- Let the yeast mixture sit for a few minutes until activated.
- Pour the yeast mixture into the large bowl containing the liquid ingredients.
- Gradually add the wheat flour to the bowl, mixing thoroughly with your hands or a sturdy spoon.
- Continue adding the flour until the dough no longer sticks to your hands and reaches a uniform consistency.
- Knead the dough in the bowl or on a lightly floured surface for 5 to 10 minutes until the texture is smooth and elastic.
- Place the dough into a clean plastic bag, seal it securely, and let it rise in a warm spot for about 1 hour, or until it has doubled in size.
- Once risen, remove the dough from the bag and divide it into portions for 7 individual pizzas.
- Shape each portion into a smooth ball and let them rest for another 20 minutes, covered with a clean kitchen towel.
- Roll out each dough ball into a flat disc and add your desired toppings.
- Bake in a preheated oven at your preferred temperature until the edges are golden brown.
