Authentic Italian Pizza – The Perfect Dough

Now, the first thing to do is to prepare the dough.

1. Put the sifted flour in a bowl.
2. Add the brewer’s yeast, finely crumbled.
3. Mix using a wooden spoon.
4. Add the water gradually, while you continue stirring until the flour absorbs it completely.
5. Add salt and extra virgin olive oil.
6. Keep stirring.

To obtain a smooth and homogeneous dough, now we can also knead by hand for a couple of minutes.

Then we put the dough back into the bowl and cover it with a sheet of transparent film.

The dough must rise for at least 30 minutes at room temperature and in a place sheltered from currents.

The leavening must take place at a temperature of about 25 degrees.

Homemade Pizza Baking Time and Temperature

After leavening, we can roll out the Pizza in the baking pan. Before that, you should grease the baking pan with a little olive oil.

It is always better to roll out the Pizza by hand and not with a rolling pin. The result will be softer!

Depending on the size of your baking tray, you can divide the dough into several baking trays.

Add the tomato sauce (seasoned with salt, oil, and oregano to taste) and put in the oven at 200/220 degrees celsius (around 450 Fahrenheit degrees) for about 10/15 minutes.

Remove from the oven and add the diced mozzarella.

Bake for another 10/15 minutes (until the mozzarella is well melted but not burned!).

At this stage, you can also add other ingredients at your convenience, ham, anchovies, capers, pepperoni, whatever you like!

Now you can take it out of the oven and enjoy your first real homemade Italian Pizza! 

Buon appetito!!!
