Pizza Dough Recipe Makes 4 pizza bases Ingredients: 500 grams of 00 flour (or all-purpose flour as an alternative) 325 milliliters of warm water (approximately 37°C or 98°F) 10 grams of salt 7 grams of dry yeast (or 20 grams of fresh yeast) 1 tablespoon of olive oil (optional) Instructions: 1. Activate the yeast: • If using dry yeast, dissolve it in the warm water and let it sit for 5 minutes until it foams. If using instant yeast, you can mix it directly with the flour. 2. Combine the ingredients: • In a large bowl, mix the flour and salt. Make a well in the center, pour in the yeast water (and olive oil, if using), and mix until the dough starts to come together. 3. Knead the dough: • Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for 8–10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic. 4. First rise: • Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and let it rise at room temperature for 1.5–2 hours, or until it doubles in size. 5. Divide and rest: • Punch down the risen dough to release air, divide it into 4 equal portions, and shape them into balls. Let the dough balls rest for 30 minutes before stretching. 6. Use or store: • The dough can be used immediately to make pizza or stored in the fridge in a sealed container for 24–48 hours to enhance the flavor through cold fermentation. Tips: Adjust the amount of water slightly if the dough feels too dry or sticky. If you’re new to kneading, use the “push, fold, and turn” technique for even results. Always preheat your oven to the highest temperature for the best crust. Enjoy your homemade pizza-making journey! Let me know if you’d like additional variations or tips!
