Two 20-cm (8-inch) pizzas

Ingredients

Preparation

  1. In a bowl, combine the water, yeast and sugar. Let stand until the mixture foams on top, about 5 minutes.
  2. In a food processor, it is important to work with the plastic blade or the dough hook. Combine the flour and salt. Increase the speed to medium and add the yeast mixture until a soft ball forms.
  3. Remove the dough from the bowl and knead for a few minutes on a floured surface to prevent sticking.
  4. Place in a lightly oiled bowl and cover with a clean cloth. Let the dough rise for about 30 minutes in warm and draft-free area. Cut the dough in half.
  5. Use the pizza dough immediately or refrigerate it (less than 48 hours), otherwise place it in an airtight bag and freeze.
  6. This recipe will make two 23-cm (9-inch) thin-crust pizzas or two 20-cm (8-inch) thicker crust pizzas.

Note

This pizza dough recipe is very simple and only takes about 10 minutes to prepare. I make mine in the food processor, but it is not essential. If you don’t have a food processor, make a well in the flour and salt and pour the liquids to the center. Work with your fingers gradually adding dry ingredients to the liquids. What is important is to get a soft dough and to let it rise in a warm place. Freezes well.

  4. Great Pizza dough, I use this recipe for my wood fired oven! I make thin crust pizza dough (100g each), so with this recipe I can make approximately 10 to 12 pizzas and so far everybody Loves it! /(*~*)\

  5. Question -- would this recipe work with "00" flour -- it is often mentioned as the key to pizza dough. I'm wondering your opinion on it vs normal flour. Thanks for the recipe. It is my plan to make it as written here -- then, depending on your response, try it with a different flour(s). Ruth
