Ingredients

1 liter of water
2 tablespoons of powdered milk
2 kg of high-protein wheat flour (or pizza flour)
20 tablespoons of olive oil
1 tablespoon of salt
2 tablespoons of sugar
15 g of active dry yeast

Where to find ingredients

Find these ingredients at any major grocery store (e.g., Loblaws, Sobeys, Metro). Look for high-protein flour in the baking aisle; powdered milk is often found near the coffee creamers or international foods section. If you cannot find powdered milk, it serves as a texture enhancer, but the dough can be made without it as a last resort.

Preparation method

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the water, sugar, salt, olive oil, and powdered milk.
  2. In a separate small container, dissolve the active dry yeast in a little warm water (ensure it is not hot, as this will kill the yeast).
  3. Let the yeast mixture sit for a few minutes until it begins to foam.
  4. Pour the yeast mixture into the large bowl with the other combined ingredients.
  5. Gradually incorporate the flour into the bowl, mixing well by hand or with a sturdy spoon.
  6. Continue adding the flour until the dough pulls away cleanly from your hands and reaches a uniform consistency.
  7. Knead the dough in the bowl or on a lightly floured surface for about 5 to 10 minutes until it is smooth and elastic.
  8. Place the dough inside a clean plastic bag, seal it tightly, and let it rest in a warm area for approximately 1 hour, or until it has doubled in volume.
  9. Once rested, remove the dough from the bag and divide it into 7 equal portions.
  10. Shape each portion into a smooth ball and let them rest for another 20 minutes, covered with a kitchen towel.
  11. Roll out each ball into a circular pizza base and add your desired toppings.
  12. Bake in a preheated oven at your preferred temperature until the edges are golden brown.
