How to Make Basic Pizza Dough Italian
- In a small bowl, dissolve 1 teaspoon of active dry yeast with 1 teaspoon of sugar in 125ml of lukewarm water.
- Cover the bowl with a clean tea towel and let it rise in a warm place for 30 minutes until foamy.
- In a large bowl, sift 300g of '00' flour (or all-purpose flour).
- Make a well in the center of the flour. Add the yeast mixture, 1 teaspoon of salt, 2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil, and 5-7 tablespoons of lukewarm water.
- Gradually incorporate the flour into the wet ingredients, kneading until a smooth and elastic dough forms (about 8-10 minutes). Add more water, 1 tablespoon at a time, if needed to achieve the right consistency.
- Shape the dough into a ball, lightly dust it with flour, place it in a lightly oiled bowl, turning to coat. Cover with plastic wrap and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
- Once doubled, gently punch down the dough and proceed with your favorite pizza recipe!
