Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams All-purpose flour
- 7 grams Instant yeast
- 10 grams Salt
- 8 grams Sugar
- 350 milliliters Warm water
- 40 milliliters Olive oil
- 10 milliliters Extra olive oil (for greasing)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, instant yeast, salt, and sugar. Mix well to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.
Gradually add the warm water and olive oil to the dry ingredients. Use a wooden spoon or spatula to stir until the mixture comes together into a sticky dough. There’s no need to knead—it’s supposed to be a wet dough.
Cover the bowl loosely with plastic wrap or a clean kitchen towel. Let the dough sit at room temperature for 1.5 to 2 hours, or until it doubles in size and becomes bubbly.
Once the dough has risen, generously grease your hands with olive oil to handle the sticky dough. Divide the dough into 2 portions if making two pizzas, or keep it whole for one large pizza.
On a lightly oiled work surface, shape the dough into a smooth ball(s). Let the dough rest for 10–15 minutes before stretching or pressing it into the desired pizza shape.
Preheat your oven to its highest temperature (typically 220°C/430°F) and position a pizza stone or baking sheet inside to heat up.
Transfer the shaped dough to a piece of parchment paper or a floured pizza peel. Top with your favorite pizza sauce, cheese, and toppings.
Slide the pizza (with the parchment paper, if used) onto the preheated stone or baking sheet. Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly.
Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for a couple of minutes before slicing and serving.
