Ingredients
1 litre of water
2 tablespoons of powdered milk
2 kg of special wheat flour for pizza
20 tablespoons of olive oil
1 tablespoon of salt
2 tablespoons of sugar
15 g of active dry yeast
2 tablespoons of powdered milk

2 tablespoons of sugar

Where to find ingredients
Look for the flour, yeast, sugar, salt, milk powder, and olive oil in the baking aisle or dry-goods section of any supermarket. Bread flour or strong flour works as a substitute for pizza flour if needed.
Preparation method
- In a large bowl, combine the water, sugar, salt, olive oil and powdered milk
- In a separate container, dissolve the active dry yeast in a little warm water (make sure the water is not hot, so it won't kill the yeast)
- Let it rest for a few minutes
- Add the yeast mixture to the bowl with the other ingredients
- Gradually add the wheat flour to the bowl, mixing well with your hands or a spoon
- Keep adding flour until the dough completely comes away from your hands and is smooth and uniform
- Knead the dough in the bowl or on a lightly floured surface for about 5 to 10 minutes, until smooth and elastic
- Place the dough in a plastic bag, seal it well and leave it to rest in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size
- After resting, remove the dough from the bag and divide it into portions to make the pizzas you want (enough for 7 pizzas)
- Shape each portion into balls and leave to rest for another 20 minutes, covered with a cloth
- Roll each dough ball out into a disc shape and top as desired
- Bake in a preheated oven at the desired temperature until golden brown
