Ingredients to make Pizza at home
– 1kg of white flour type 0
– 700 ml of water (slightly warm, never cold)
– 14 gr of dry yeast
– 8 spoons of extra virgin olive oil
– 1 spoon of salt
– 1 spoon of sugar
The pastry is very similar, if not identical, to the one for making homemade bread!
How to make homemade Pizza by hand
First take the yeast and melt it with some warm water and
the sugar. Now put the flour on a pastry board or in a large bowl and
make a hole at its center.
Once the yeast is well dissolved in the water, fill the center of the flour with it.
Aside, melt the salt in a glass of warm water, add the oil, and insert them into the flour.
Keep close to you some flour and the remaining warm water,
to be added gradually to the dough, until it reaches the desired
consistency; it should come out soft and supple. Continue to work it
well, form a ball and finally put it in a large bowl (remember that the
pastry will double its volume), properly dusted with flour on the
bottom, cover it with a cloth and store it in a warm place away from
drafts. Don’t be afraid if the dough seems to have too water in it,
that’s the secret to have a better pizza!
Wait until the dough has doubled in size, it will take
about 1 hour and a half and then proceed to draw up the dough for the
pizza.
Instead of tomato sauce, I prefer to use little fresh ripe tomatoes,
pomodorini, to make my pizza, they are less acid and more sweet. Once
you have your round pastry ready on the pan, decorate it with the
tomatoes cut in pieces, extra virgin olive oil, salt, pepper, and
oregano.
Put it in the oven at the maximum temperature until it
comes of a golden color, take away and pour on it sliced mozzarella
cheese, put again in the oven, wait some minutes, and voilà, your yummy
pizza is ready!
