Ingredients

1 liter water
2 tablespoons powdered milk
2 kg high-quality wheat flour for pizza
20 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon salt
2 tablespoons sugar
15 g dry active yeast

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

  1. In a large bowl, combine the water, sugar, salt, olive oil, and powdered milk.
  2. In a separate small container, dissolve the dry yeast in a little warm water, ensuring it is not hot to avoid killing the yeast.
  3. Let it sit for a few minutes until activated.
  4. Add the yeast mixture to the bowl with the other ingredients.
  5. Gradually incorporate the wheat flour, mixing thoroughly by hand or with a spoon.
  6. Continue adding the flour until the dough no longer sticks to your hands and becomes homogeneous.
  7. 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.
  8. 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.
  9. Once rested, remove the dough from the bag and divide it into portions sized for 7 pizzas.
  10. Shape each portion into a ball and let them rest for another 20 minutes, covered with a clean cloth.
  11. Roll out each dough ball into a round disk and add your desired toppings.
  12. Bake in a preheated oven at your preferred temperature until golden brown.
