Ingredients

Where to find ingredients
You can find high-quality flour and dry yeast in the baking aisle of any local supermarket or neighborhood grocery store. Powdered milk is widely available in the dairy or breakfast aisles. For the best results, use a high-protein bread flour rather than standard all-purpose flour.
Preparation method
- In a large bowl, combine the water, sugar, salt, olive oil, and powdered milk.
- In a separate small container, dissolve the active dry yeast in a little warm water (ensure the water is not hot to avoid killing the yeast).
- Let it rest for a few minutes until it activates.
- Pour the yeast mixture into the bowl containing the other ingredients.
- Gradually add the flour to the bowl, mixing thoroughly with your hands or a large spoon.
- Continue adding 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 about 5 to 10 minutes until you achieve a smooth and elastic texture.
- Place the dough inside a plastic bag, seal it well, and let it rest in a warm spot for approximately 1 hour, or until it doubles in volume.
- After the rest, remove the dough from the bag and divide it into portions for 7 pizzas.
- Shape each portion into a small ball and let them rest for another 20 minutes, covered with a clean kitchen towel.
- Roll out each ball of dough into a disc and add your desired toppings.
- Bake in a preheated oven at your preferred temperature until the crust is golden brown.
