Ingredients

1 litre water
2 tablespoons powdered milk
2 kg high-protein wheat flour
20 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon salt
2 tablespoons sugar
15 g dry active yeast

Where to find ingredients

You can find high-quality wheat flour, powdered milk, and dry yeast at local supermarkets in Freetown, such as Choithram or various mini-marts. Olive oil and standard pantry staples are widely available in these retail stores. If high-protein flour is unavailable, all-purpose flour is a suitable substitute.

Preparation method

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the water, sugar, salt, olive oil, and powdered milk.
  2. In a separate small bowl, dissolve the dry yeast in a splash of warm water, ensuring it is not too hot so as not to deactivate the yeast.
  3. Let the yeast mixture sit for a few minutes until it begins to activate.
  4. Add the yeast mixture into the larger bowl with the liquid ingredients.
  5. Gradually incorporate the wheat flour into the mixture, working it in thoroughly by hand or with a sturdy spoon.
  6. Continue adding flour until the dough no longer sticks to your hands and reaches a uniform, smooth consistency.
  7. Knead the dough in the bowl or on a lightly floured surface for about 5 to 10 minutes until it becomes elastic and smooth.
  8. Place the dough inside a clean plastic bag, seal it tightly, and leave it to rise in a warm spot for approximately 1 hour, or until it has doubled in size.
  9. Once proofed, remove the dough from the bag and divide it into equal portions suitable for making 7 pizzas.
  10. Shape each portion into a ball and let them rest for another 20 minutes, covered with a clean kitchen towel.
  11. Roll out each ball into a disc and add your desired toppings.
  12. Bake in a preheated oven at your preferred temperature until the crust is golden and crisp.
