Ingredients

1 litre of water
2 tablespoons of powdered milk
2 kg of premium wheat flour for pizza
20 tablespoons of olive oil
1 tablespoon of salt
2 tablespoons of sugar
15g of active dry yeast

Where to find ingredients

All-purpose or bread flour can be sourced from local supermarkets or general provision stores in urban centers like Monrovia. Powdered milk is widely available in the dairy or breakfast aisles of local grocery stores. Active dry yeast is typically found in the baking supplies section of larger markets.

Preparation method

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the water, sugar, salt, olive oil, and powdered milk.
  2. In a separate small container, dissolve the active dry yeast in a little warm water, ensuring it is not too hot to avoid killing the yeast.
  3. Allow the yeast mixture to rest for a few minutes until it activates.
  4. Pour the yeast mixture into the large bowl with the other ingredients.
  5. Gradually incorporate the wheat flour, mixing thoroughly with your hands or a large spoon.
  6. Continue adding the flour until the dough no longer sticks to your hands and becomes homogeneous.
  7. Knead the dough in the bowl or on a lightly floured surface for about 5 to 10 minutes until it achieves a smooth, elastic texture.
  8. Place the dough into a plastic bag, seal it tightly, and leave it to rest in a warm spot for approximately 1 hour or until doubled in size.
  9. Once the dough has risen, remove it from the bag and portion it out to form your pizzas (this recipe is enough for 7 pizzas).
  10. Shape each portion into balls and let them rest for an additional 20 minutes, covered with a clean cloth.
  11. Roll out each dough ball into a round disk and add your desired toppings.
  12. Bake in a preheated oven at your preferred temperature until the edges are golden brown.
