Instructions

  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine all purpose flour and salt fine. Mix well.
  3. Make a well in the center of the flour mixture and For in the yeast mixture and olive oil extra virgin.
  4. Using a spoon or your hands, mix the ingredients until a rough dough forms.
  5. Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 8 to 10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  6. Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
  7. After rising, punch down the dough to release air bubbles and transfer it to a floured surface.
  8. Roll out the dough thinly into a circle or rectangle shape, about 3 mm thick, for a crispy thin crust.
  9. Preheat your oven to 250 degrees Celsius (480 degrees Fahrenheit) and place a pizza stone or baking sheet inside to heat.
  10. Add your desired toppings to the rolled dough and carefully transfer it onto the hot pizza stone or baking sheet.
  11. Bake the pizza for 8 to 12 minutes until the crust is golden and crispy.
  12. Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.

Tips

  • Use warm water to activate the yeast properly but not too hot to kill it.
  • Knead the dough well to develop gluten for a chewy texture.
  • Let the dough rise in a warm, draft-free area for best results.
  • Roll the dough very thin for a crispy crust.
  • Preheat the oven and pizza stone to the highest temperature for a perfect bake.
