Where to find ingredients
Find these ingredients in the baking or world foods aisles of your local supermarket. Use high-protein 'strong white' or '00' flour for the best results. If you cannot find powdered milk, standard full-fat dried milk powder is an excellent substitute for the authentic bakery texture.
Preparation method
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the water, sugar, salt, olive oil, and powdered milk.
- In a separate small container, dissolve the dried yeast in a little lukewarm water (ensure the water is not hot to avoid killing the yeast).
- Allow the yeast mixture to stand for a few minutes until frothy.
- Pour the yeast mixture into the bowl with the other ingredients.
- Gradually add the flour to the bowl, mixing thoroughly with your hands or a large spoon.
- Continue adding the flour until the dough stops sticking 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, elastic texture.
- Place the dough into a large plastic bag, seal it tightly, and leave it to rest in a warm spot for approximately 1 hour, or until it has doubled in size.
- After the proofing time, remove the dough from the bag and divide it into portions for 7 individual pizzas.
- Shape each portion into a smooth ball and let them rest for a further 20 minutes, covered with a clean tea towel.
- Roll out each ball into a circular pizza base and add your desired toppings.
- Bake in a preheated oven at the required temperature until golden brown.
