- 500g 00 pizza flour
- 300g water
- 5g yeast
- 6g salt
- 14g olive oil – I used a Tuscan flavored oil for more flavor
Using a stand mixer add the 3 dry ingredients and whisk just to mix them together. Add water and olive oil and mix with the bread hook until dough is mixed well and pulls away from the side of the bowl…this should take just a few minutes. If you don’t have a stand mixer you can do this all by hand 😊
Remove the dough ball and place it in a lightly oiled bowl. Cover and let rest for 2-3 hours. After it rises, separate into 2 dough balls and cover both and allow to rest, covered, for another 2 hours.
After the final rise you can make a pizza and/or seal the dough in a container/ziplock in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. (If you are using a dough from the fridge, remove it from its container and let it rise, covered, until room temperature before cooking).
Your oven needs to be very hot – 550 degrees is a good oven temperature (higher if you have a home pizza oven). It only takes 7-8 minutes to cook. I recommend a baking steel to make the crust crispier.
