We start with the dough, it is easiest to make the dough a day in advance, because it has to rise for a long time.

  • Place the salt water in a bowl and add about 10% of the flour. Mix until all the flour has dissolved.
  • Add 4 gr. add dry yeast and the rest of the flour and mix everything well. You will notice that mixing automatically turns into kneading.
  • Knead for about 10 minutes until you have a nice smooth, supple and cohesive dough.
  • Let the dough rise completely for ½ to 2 hours at room temperature (20°C).
  • After this first rise, make balls of your dough. Loves 200 gr. dough per ball.
  • Then let the balls of dough rise again (patent flour from the supermarket rise for 2 -3 hours / 00 flour rise for 6 hours).

Heat up the braai

Light the braai in advance. Use good, dry wood for this. This is important to achieve a high temperature 300°C. Place the wok plate in the Braai and the pizza stone on it. Make sure that the pizza stone heats up gradually while lighting the Braai.

tomato sauce

  • Meng  1 can of peeled tomatoes with the oregano and puree it briefly with a hand blender into a nice smooth sauce
  • Season with salt and pepper

Make pizza base

  • Make sure your kitchen counter is clean and sprinkle generously with flour (otherwise your dough will stick).
  • Place the dough ball on the counter and roll out into a thin, even base.
    Once your dough has risen properly, you can do all of this by hand, so your dough remains nice and airy.
    Press the dough further and further from the inside out until you have a nice round bottom.
    If you use ready-made dough, it is best to use a rolling pin.
