BAsis PizzA doUgH
To make a good pizza dough at home use the following recipe:
Ingredients for 500g of dough:
•
300g flour
•
25g yeast
•
a pinch of salt
•
1 glass of lukewarm water
Pour the flour onto the table in a heap, make a hollow in the centre to form the “well” and add a level
teaspoonful of cooking salt. Crumble the yeast into a small glass of lukewarm water, pour it into the well a
little at a time and start mixing. At the start the dough will be soft and sticky, but it will become stiffer and more
elastic as you knead it. Thump the dough hard against the table and press your wrists against it to make it
smooth and even. When you have repeated this procedure many times, you will find that the dough comes
away from your hands end the table easily; now form a ball. Cut a cross on the top and leave to rise in a
warm corner of the table, covered with a clean tea-towel. Leave for about 2 hours, during which time the
dough will double in size (this may take much less in hot, humid conditions). At this point, after rising, the
dough may be kneaded again for a few minutes and used immediately, or frozen. If you are going to use it at
once, before kneading you can add the oil of your choice. This will almost always be extra virgin olive oil, but
in some special recipes it may be lard or butter. If you decide to freeze the dough, wrap it up in a freezer film
and place it in the freezer. When you decide to use it, thaw it at room temperature and knead it for 5 minutes
with a little oil.
