Preparation time: About 2 hours
Ingredients (for 10 pizzas):
- 2
tablespoons of olive oil
- 500g
of flour
- 2
glasses of warm water
- 5g
of yeast
- 10
gr. of salt
- 10
gr. of sugar
Directions
1. Put the flour into a large bowl, then
stir in the yeast , the sugar which will boost
the yeast and the salt.
2. Make a well, pour in the warm water and the olive oil and mix till you
get a soft, fairly sticky dough.
3. Put
the dough onto a floured surface and Knead
until the dough is smooth, then put the dough into a bowl and cover it with a
cloth.
4. Leave
it to rest for at least 1 hour but you
can make the dough well in advance and
the result will be excellent all the same.
5. Make
some “balls” with the dough and then roll them out with a rolling pin; you can
make a round or a rectangular pizza, according to the baking tray you have.
6. Now
you are ready to put your favourite toppings on your pizza: tomato and cheese
is a great classic. Season with salt and oil.
7. Bake the pizza in your pre-heated oven at about
200° for 20'-However have a look because the baking time depends very much on
the oven you use, so it's pretty difficult to give a final word on it.
Your
Italian pizza is ready, enjoy your meal!
EXTRA TIP
- If you want, you can add your favourite food on the top (ham,
sausages, mushrooms, vegetables, olives etc) just before putting mozzarella
cheese.
- Do you love spicy food? Sprinkle some chilli on it!
