Description

There are many misconceptions surrounding pizza preparation. Some say that to make the perfect dough, you need special kneading techniques, a professional oven, or at least a special oven that can heat up to nearly the melting point of metal. In reality, pizza comes in various forms. What you have here is an American version: with yeast dough that is neither too thin nor too thick. You can easily bake this in any oven. Plus, you don’t need to overthink the toppings—if you have a can of olives, some cheese, and smoked sausage at home, you can get started right away.

Ingredients

Wheat Flour - 17.6 oz
Water - 10 fl oz
Sugar - 0.3 oz
Dry yeast - 0.1 oz
Olive Oil - 1 fl oz
Salt - 0.5 oz
Pizza Flour - 3 fl oz
Spicy salami - 3.5 oz
Pitted olives - 1.8 oz
Pizza Mozzarella Cheese - 5.3 oz

Step by Step guide

Step 1

Mix warm water with sugar and yeast, then let it sit for 5–10 minutes to activate the yeast.

Step 2

In the mixing bowl, add the flour, olive oil, salt, and water with the yeast.

Step 3

Knead the dough on a low speed using a dough hook attachment.

Step 4

Transfer the prepared dough to a greased bowl and cover it with plastic wrap. Place it in a warm area for 1 hour, until it doubles in size.

Step 5

Slice the olives into thin rings.

Step 6

Grate the mozzarella cheese using a large grater.

Step 7

The prepared dough can be rolled out with a rolling pin to fit the size of the baking tray, but it’s better to stretch it evenly by hand — this way, more air bubbles will remain in the dough.
