Over the last two weeks our team has been sharing some delicious recipes from our Wilderness camps – meals to re-ignite the memories and tastes of your African safari. We hope that these recipes will transport you to Africa during this time.
For today’s Facebook Live video, please see the ingredients that we will be using below:
Making the dough:
Ingredients
3/4 cup warm water (105°F to 115°F)
1 envelope active dry yeast
2 cups (or more) all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon sugar
3/4 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons olive oil
Preparation
1. Pour 3/4 cup warm water into small bowl; stir in yeast. Let stand until yeast dissolves, about 5 minutes.
2. Brush large bowl lightly with olive oil.
3. Mix 2 cups flour, sugar, and salt in processor.
4. Add yeast mixture and 3 tablespoons oil; process until dough forms a sticky ball.
5. Transfer to lightly floured surface.
6. Knead dough until smooth, adding more flour by the tablespoon if dough is very sticky, about 1 minute.
7. Transfer to prepared bowl; turn dough in bowl to coat with oil. Cover bowl with plastic wrap and let dough rise in warm draught-free area until doubled in volume, about 1 hour.
8. Punch down dough.
DO AHEAD – the above can be made one day ahead. Store in an airtight container in a refrigerator.
9. ROLL out dough according to recipe instructions. (Start in centre of dough, working outward towards edges, but not rolling over them.)
