Ingredients
- 500 grams All-purpose flour
- 325 grams Water
- 10 grams Salt
- 3 grams Instant yeast
- 15 grams Olive oil
Directions
Step 1
1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and instant yeast. Mix thoroughly to evenly distribute the yeast.
Step 2
2. Add the water (at room temperature) to the bowl, and mix until all the flour is hydrated and a shaggy dough forms. Let the mixture rest for 10 minutes to allow the flour to absorb the water.
Step 3
3. After resting, add the salt and olive oil to the dough. Knead the dough by hand for about 8-10 minutes, or until it becomes smooth and elastic. Alternatively, use a stand mixer with a dough hook on low speed for 5-6 minutes.
Step 4
4. Transfer the dough to a clean, lightly oiled bowl and cover it with a damp kitchen towel or plastic wrap. Let the dough rise at room temperature for 1 to 1.5 hours or until it doubles in size.
Step 5
5. Once risen, punch down the dough to release the air. Divide the dough into 2 or 4 equal portions, depending on your desired pizza size. Shape each piece into a ball, place them on a lightly floured surface, and cover them again. Let the dough rest for 30 minutes.
Step 6
6. Preheat your oven to 250°C (480°F) or the highest setting your oven allows. If using a pizza stone, place it in the oven to heat up as well.
Step 7
7. Roll out each ball of dough into a thin circle or oval (approximately 10-12 inches for larger pizzas or 8 inches for smaller ones). Place the rolled-out dough on parchment paper or a pizza peel dusted with flour or cornmeal.
Step 8
8. Add your desired toppings to the dough, being careful not to overload it. Simple toppings like tomato sauce, mozzarella, and fresh basil are great for a classic Margherita pizza.
Step 9
9. Carefully transfer the dough with toppings onto the hot pizza stone or baking sheet. Bake for 7-10 minutes, or until the crust is golden and crisp, and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Step 10
10. Remove the pizza from the oven, let it cool slightly, then slice and serve. Enjoy your restaurant-style pizza at home!
