Cook safely

Keep children and pets away from the hob and the oven, and keep oven gloves and a lid within reach.

  • Oven and hot trays. Use dry oven gloves for trays and dishes: a hot tray looks just like a cold one. Open the oven door away from your face and let the first rush of heat out.

Method

  1. Makes 1 medium pizza 500 g all-purpose flour 280 g water 5 g fresh brewer’s yeast, crumbled 11 g salt 50 g extra virgin olive oil, plus more as needed Put the flour in a bowl, pour in 260 g of the water, and mix roughly for a few minutes.
  2. Let it rest for 10 minutes, then add the yeast and continue mixing for about 15 minutes, or until you get a uniform dough.
  3. Incorporate the salt and remaining 20 g of water and mix for 10 minutes, then add the oil and let it be absorbed while still handling the dough.
  4. Let it rest in a lightly oiled bowl, at room temperature, for 2 hours.
  5. Divide the dough into four even mounds.
  6. Fold the dough rounds back on themselves, so as to form balls with a smooth, silky surface, and let rest at room temperature for 1 hour.
  7. Oil your hands and spread each ball until it reaches the edges of the pan (see Note);
  8. if the dough shrinks, stop for 10 to 15 minutes before resuming.
  9. Let the stretched-out dough rest in the baking pan for about 30 minutes.
  10. 8.
  11. Preheat the oven to 475°F (240°C).
  12. Top the pizza according to your taste and bake, preferably on a baking stone, for 10 to 15 minutes, or until the exposed crust around the edge of the pizza is golden brown and sounds hollow when you tap it.
  13. Repeat with the remaining rounds of dough.
  14. Note: I like to use rectangular baking sheets , but a round one will work, too.
  15. Use what you have and, if needed, divide your dough into bigger portions to fit whatever baking sheets you plan to use.
