Ingredients

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

Where to find ingredients

You can find high-quality wheat flour, dry yeast, and milk powder at local supermarkets in the baking aisle. For the best texture, use unbleached wheat flour, though standard all-purpose flour can be used as a substitute if necessary.

Preparation method

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the water, sugar, salt, olive oil, and milk powder.
  2. In a separate small container, dissolve the dry active yeast in a splash of warm water, ensuring it is not too hot to avoid deactivating the yeast.
  3. Let it rest for a few minutes until it begins to activate.
  4. Incorporate the yeast mixture into the bowl with the other ingredients.
  5. Gradually add the wheat flour to the bowl, mixing thoroughly by hand or using a sturdy spoon.
  6. Continue adding the flour until the dough stops sticking to your hands and becomes homogeneous.
  7. Knead the dough inside the bowl or on a lightly floured surface for about 5 to 10 minutes until it achieves a smooth, elastic texture.
  8. Place the dough into a clean plastic bag, seal it tightly, and let it rest in a warm spot for approximately 1 hour, or until it has doubled in size.
  9. After it has risen, remove the dough from the bag and portion it out into 7 equal parts.
  10. Shape each portion into a smooth ball and let them rest for an additional 20 minutes, covered with a clean kitchen towel.
  11. Roll out each ball of dough into a circular disk and add your desired toppings.
  12. Bake in a preheated oven at your preferred temperature until the edges are golden and crispy.
