Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Bread flour
- 325 milliliters Warm water (around 110°F/43°C)
- 2.25 teaspoons Instant yeast
- 1 teaspoon Granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons Salt
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the bread flour, instant yeast, sugar, and salt. Stir to blend the dry ingredients evenly.
Make a well in the center of the flour mixture and pour in the warm water and olive oil.
Using a wooden spoon or your hands, mix the ingredients until they form a shaggy dough.
Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes, or until it becomes smooth and elastic.
Lightly oil a clean mixing bowl and place the dough inside, turning it once to coat it with the oil. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a damp kitchen towel.
Allow the dough to rise at room temperature for about 1.5-2 hours, or until it doubles in size.
Once risen, gently punch the dough down to release excess air. Divide it into two equal portions and shape each portion into a ball.
Place the dough balls on a lightly floured surface or tray, cover them loosely with plastic wrap, and let them rest for 15-20 minutes before shaping.
Preheat your oven to its highest setting (usually around 500°F/260°C) and place a pizza stone or baking steel inside, if available, to heat up for at least 30 minutes.
Roll out or stretch each dough ball into a 12-inch circle on a lightly floured surface, ensuring the edges are slightly thicker for a defined crust.
Transfer the dough to a pizza peel dusted with flour or cornmeal. Add your desired toppings and slide it onto the preheated stone or steel.
Bake each pizza for 10-12 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and crisp. Slice and serve immediately!
