Ingredients
- 10 g fresh yeast
- 250 ml warm water
- 500 g type 00 flour
- 1 tbsp salt
- 3 tbsp olive oil
Method
In a bowl, mix the fresh yeast with about 100 ml of warm water. Stir until the yeast has completely dissolved.
In another bowl, mix the flour and salt. Make a well in the center and pour in the olive oil and the dissolved yeast. Start stirring the flour and yeast together until the ingredients begin to combine. Add the rest of the water, taking care that the total amount of water does not exceed 300 ml (i.e. 60% of the flour). Keep mixing in the bowl until you get a firm, soft dough.
Then turn the dough out onto a work surface and finish kneading it by hand. You should end up with a smooth, elastic dough. Once it is ready, transfer the dough to a bowl, cover with plastic wrap and leave to rise. After the first rise, take the dough out of the bowl, place it on the work surface, divide it into 3–4 pieces and cover with a damp cloth. Leave to rise a second time for about 1 hour. After that, it’s ready to use 🙂
This dough works for any kind of pizza.
