GF "Pizza Express" Dough Balls

CHEWY DOUGH BALLS - JUST LIKE PIZZA EXPRESS (BETTER?!)

If you've enjoyed eating Pizza Express glutenfree dough balls - then you'll enjoy this recipe. Actually we think their GF dough balls are so much better than their GF pizzas (Psst Pizza Express - give us a call and we'll help you make a better GF pizza base :-)).

A full bag of Pizzamix (400g) makes 32 dough balls - so here's the recipe adapted for different amounts of dough balls to fit your dinner plans:

For the dough:

8 doughballs 16 doughballs 24 doughballs 32 doughballs
85g lukewarm water
170g lukewarm water 255g lukewarm water
340g lukewarm water
2,5 sugar 5 sugar 7,5 sugar 10 sugar
7g fresh yeast 14g fresh yeast 21g fresh yeast 28g fresh yeast
30g olive oil (in the dough) 45g olive oil (in the dough) 60g olive oil (in the dough)
100g OhAh Pizzamix 200g OhAh Pizzamix 300g OhAh Pizzamix 400g OhAh Pizzamix
4 salt (in the dough)
8 salt (in the dough) 12 salt (in the dough) 16 salt (in the dough)

 

Dissolve the sugar and yeast in the water. Add the olive oil.

Mix in the flour in two steps - you can do this by hand with a spatula (as long as it's sturdy enough to beat the dough around), or use a mixer with a roller (ankersrum) or paddle.

Add in the salt and mix a bit more.

Leave the dough to rest for 15 minutes.

With oiled hands, rolls the dough into a log and cut into the # dough balls as per above recipe. Roll and place on parchment paper (on a baking tray). Leave to rise/proof for 30-40 minutes and turn on the oven at 230 degrees Celcius.

Once proofed, turn on the broil/grill in the oven (still 230 degrees C) and place the baking tray in the oven. Bake for 6 minutes; turn the baking tray and bake for another 2-3 minutes. Done

Take out and enjoy with your choice of dipping sauce or garlic butter (with oregano).
