Instructions
Make the pizza dough
- Put the flour, salt and yeast in a bowl, ensuring that salt and yeast are on opposite sides.
- Make a well in the center and add the water and olive oil. Mix until a rough dough forms, adding more flour if too sticky.
- Dust a clean surface with flour and knead the dough for around 10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Add ½ tablespoon of olive oil to a large bowl, coat it, and place the dough in it, rubbing the top with more oil.
- Cover with plastic wrap and leave in a warm place for 3-4 hours until tripled in size.
Bake the pizza
- Preheat the oven to your highest setting (at least 450F/230C) and heat up your baking trays.
- Cut the dough into 2 or 4 pieces and roll out or shape to fit your baking tray.
- Sprinkle the baking tray with semolina or flour, then carefully place the pizza dough on top.
- Spread the pizza base with tomato sauce and evenly sprinkle cheese on top. Bake for 10-15 minutes until melted and golden.
Notes
Use extra virgin olive oil for best flavor. Recommended brands for canned tomatoes include Cirio or Mutti.
