Where to find ingredients
You can find high-quality wheat flour, dry yeast, and powdered milk at local supermarkets and food stores across the islands. For a more authentic Brazilian touch, look for imported brands of wheat flour often stocked in the international aisles of larger grocery retailers.
Preparation method
- In a large bowl, combine the water, sugar, salt, olive oil, and powdered milk.
- In a separate small container, dissolve the dry yeast in a little warm water, ensuring it is not hot to avoid killing the yeast.
- Let it sit for a few minutes until activated.
- Add the yeast mixture to the bowl with the other ingredients.
- Gradually incorporate the wheat flour, mixing thoroughly by hand or with a spoon.
- Continue adding the flour until the dough no longer sticks to your hands and becomes homogeneous.
- Knead the dough in the bowl or on a lightly floured surface for 5 to 10 minutes, until it achieves a smooth and elastic texture.
- Place the dough inside a plastic bag, seal it well, and let it rest in a warm spot for about 1 hour, or until it has doubled in volume.
- Once rested, remove the dough from the bag and divide it into portions sized for 7 pizzas.
- Shape each portion into a ball and let them rest for another 20 minutes, covered with a clean cloth.
- Roll out each dough ball into a round disk and add your desired toppings.
- Bake in a preheated oven at your preferred temperature until golden brown.
