Ingredients

1 litre water
2 tablespoons powdered milk
2 kg premium pizza flour
20 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon salt
2 tablespoons sugar
15 g dry active yeast

Where to find ingredients

You can find all-purpose or specialized pizza flour and dry yeast in the baking aisle of any local supermarket or general grocer. Powdered milk is typically located near the shelf-stable dairy or coffee creamer section.

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 dry yeast in a little warm water, being careful not to use water that is too hot to avoid killing the yeast.
  3. Let the yeast mixture rest for a few minutes.
  4. Pour the dissolved yeast into the bowl with the other liquid ingredients.
  5. Gradually add the flour to the bowl, mixing well by hand or using a large spoon.
  6. Continue adding flour until the dough stops sticking to your hands and becomes homogeneous.
  7. Knead the dough in the bowl or on a lightly floured surface for about 5 to 10 minutes until the texture is smooth and elastic.
  8. Place the dough inside a plastic bag, seal it tightly, and leave it to rise in a warm spot for approximately 1 hour, or until it has doubled in volume.
  9. Once risen, remove the dough from the bag and divide it into equal portions to yield 7 pizzas.
  10. Shape each portion into a ball and let them rest for another 20 minutes, covered with a kitchen towel.
  11. Roll out each ball into a thin disk and add your choice of toppings.
  12. Bake in a preheated oven at your desired temperature until the crust is golden brown.
