Ingredients
  

  • 11.76 oz flour
  • 0.16 oz active dry yeast
  • 0.65 oz extra virgin olive oil 20 ml
  • 7.05 oz lukewarm water 200 ml
  • 0.09 oz sugar ⅔ tsp
  • 0.14 oz salt ⅔ tsp

Instructions
 

  • Start making your pizza dough by measuring out your dry ingredients. Add flour, active dry yeast, sugar, and salt to a large mixing bowl.
  • Add olive oil and lukewarm water.
  • Using your dough hook, knead your pizza dough for 10 minutes.
    The perfect pizza dough should be completely smooth. It shouldn't stick to the side of your bowl, but it should still feel a little wet when you touch it.
  • Place your dough in a large bowl previously oiled with about 1–2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil. Move it around with your hand so that all parts are covered with oil.
  • Let it proof for 90 minutes with a lid on.
  • After 90 minutes, push the air out of the dough.
  • Cut the pizza dough into equal pieces – 1 for every pizza. For the amounts in this recipe, cut it into 2 equal pieces, about 10 ounces each.
  • Form a ball from each piece of dough. Start by making a circular motion with the palm of your hand, applying some pressure. Then release the pressure gradually until you get a nice ball shape. Put the balls on a lightly floured work surface. Dust them with a little more flour, and let them proof, covered with a kitchen towel, for another 15 minutes.
