Traditional Italian Pizza Recipe

Pizza Dough Ingredients

• 200ml warm water (35-40 °C)
• 1 packet (5 g) of active dry yeast
• 500ml all-purpose flour
• 4 Tbsp olive oil
• 3 teaspoons salt
• 2 teaspoons sugar

Pizza Ingredients

• Mozzarella cheese
• Tomato
• Tomato Paste (Puree)
• Onion
• Local cheeses or your favorites

Preparation

Pour the warm water into a large bowl. Sprinkle the yeast on top and let it sit for 5 minutes until the yeast has dissolved.

Add the flour, salt and sugar, and knead well until the dough is smooth and elastic.

Coat the dough ball with olive oil, cover the bowl with plastic wrap and leave it in a warm place for 1 hour. The yeast will make the dough double in size within an hour.

Punch the dough down before use and shape it into a circle or any flat shape. My personal suggestion: a freeform shape is better than an industrial circle.

Preheat your oven to 220 °C.

Put your favorite toppings on your pizza and bake it for 10-15 minutes.

 

Bon appétit!
