When I was young about 9 or 10 years old, that was back in Malaysia. Whenever the word pizza came to my mind, I thought it was an expensive gourmet food. Back then, you don’t see any pizza restaurants around like “Pizza Hut” in Malaysia. I guess you only had it in the hotel or expensive restaurants. I came to know what a pizza was after I saw on TV some kids holding a flat piece of bread with colourful toppings. I was curious and so wanting to have one but I don’t know where to get it. One day, my sister bought an Italian magazine back home. I don’t know why she bought it because the whole magazine was written in some languages not in English. However, there was one small section written in English! And guess what, it was a pizza recipe! It even showed how to make the pizza dough from scratch! Me and my sister were so excited and so we went off and started to making this recipe. Making the pizza bread was always a challenge for us. For some reason, the bread didn’t turn out right. It is very tough like rock! We tried the recipe many times but it was always unsuccessful. Well that was back then, some childhood stories to share.
Like I say, when you make pizza, the bread dough is a challenge, if you don’t get it right, you won’t get a complete tasty pizza that you want. The toppings are easy, you can add anything you want but not the pizza bread, you have to get it right. This pizza dough recipe is the most basic and easy to prepare. This one I promise won’t give you a tough rock pizza bread that I made when I was a child. It has nice soft bread like texture. If you prefer it to be fluffier, after adding the toppings on the flatten dough. Leave it for a few minutes so the dough will rise a little before you put it in the oven to bake.
