Pizza and Cinnamon buns

This is probably the easiest recipe to remember for pizza dough and really simple. And the best part about homemade pizza is that i can put however much i want on it... i usually pile on the cheese.. heeheehee

Basic Pizza Dough

1 sachet ( 7 g ) active dry yeast
1 tsp sugar
3/4 cup warm water
2 cups flour
2 tbs oil ( vegetable or olive )
pinch of salt


Put the first three ingredients into a bowl and leave it at a corner for 5 to 10 minutes. Make sure the water is not too hot because it might kill the yeast.

Sift the flour into another bowl and add the pinch of salt.

After the 10 minutes, add the yeast mixture to the flour and add oil as well. Mix everything with a wooden spoon just enough to hold the dough together.

Tranfer the dough out and knead it on a floured surface for about 2 mins or until the dough is smooth and free of lumps. ( Never knead dough for too long )

Place the dough into an oiled bowl and let it rise for about 1/2 hour. ( It rises better in a warm place )

Presto pizza dough done.


I made too much pizza dough, so i used up the rest to make cinnamon buns. Just roll the dough flat, spread butter and sprinkle on cinnamon and brown sugar. Roll it up so that it forms a long swiss roll and cut them into pieces. Place the pieces ( spirals facing up ) into a tin and bake for 20 minutes in a preheated oven at 180 C.
