Chef's Note
Authentic pizza, large, very thin and homemade, is an exquisite dish. A marvel of skill and simplicity, real pizza is very different from the kind found in many restaurants.
Ingredients
Ingredients for 8 servings (2 pizzas)
- 1 kg (2 1/4 lb.) flour
- 40 g (1 1/2 oz.) yeast
- 500 ml (2 cups) warm water
- 100 ml (6 tbsp.) olive oil
- 10 g (2 tsp.) sugar
- 30 g (2 tbsp.) salt
Method
- In a bowl, dissolve the yeast in the warm water;
- on a work surface, form the flour into a well; add the salt, sugar, oil and water and yeast mixture into the centre; gradually blend in enough flour to form a smooth dough;
- knead the dough until firm and elastic; form into a ball and cover with a damp cloth; let rise for two hours in a warm draft-free place; the dough is ready when it comes away easily from the bowl and does not stick to your fingers;
- once the dough has doubled in volume, press it into a pizza pan or baking sheet;
- top the pizza as desired, add a sprinkling of olive oil and let rest 5 minutes;
- bake at 200° C (400° F) for 20 minutes; serve hot.
