Classic Pizza Yeast Dough

Ingredients:

  • Warm water - 1 cup;
  • Cane sugar - 1 teaspoon (can be replaced with regular sugar);
  • Flour - 3 cups;
  • Dry yeast - 1 tbsp. spoon (no slide);
  • Olive oil - 4 tbsp. spoons (2 - for the test, 2 - for greasing the baking sheet);
  • Sea salt - 1 teaspoon.

Cooking:

  1. Prepare a large bowl in which it will be convenient to knead the dough.
  2. Take the flour and sift it with a sieve.
  3. Add salt to flour and mix everything with a spoon.
  4. Take a small bowl, pour water and dissolve yeast in it (follow the detailed instructions on the label).
  5. Add sugar to the yeast, stir everything and leave for 5 minutes.
  6. Pour the yeast mixture into the flour.
  7. Start stirring the dough, gradually adding olive oil.
  8. Pour a little flour onto the countertop and remove the dough. Having placed it on the work surface, continue to mash the mass on the table. It will take about 5 minutes. As a result, the dough should be firm and elastic.
  9. Wash the bowl in which the dough was kneaded. Dry it and oil it using a silicone brush.
  10. Place the dough in a bowl and cover with a dishcloth so that it does not dry out. Put the container in a warm place for 30-40 minutes. The dough can be left on the table. Then, slightly dampen the kitchen towel and completely cover the dough with it. Take care that there is no draft in the kitchen!
  11. We get the dough. If you want to make thin pizza, then divide it into two equal parts, if one is high, use the entire volume.
  12. Start kneading the dough on pizza with dry yeast, stretching it a little. It should stretch well and keep in shape.Roll the dough again into a ball, cover it with a towel, you can slightly damp, and leave for 10-15 minutes.
  13. Now we start rolling out. Ideally, everything should be done with your hands and not use a rolling pin at all. Put the dough on the table, squeeze in the center and slowly pull in different directions until it matches the size of the pan. At the edges, the level should be slightly higher to dazzle the side. Italians stretch the dough on weight. You too can toss and stretch it, but not the fact that you will succeed the first time.
  14. Take a brush and grease a baking sheet with olive oil.
  15. Put the dough in the mold, and form a side.
  16. Now take olive oil and lubricate the base over the entire length (with a very thin ball), then it will not soak from the filling. If you take a thick sauce, you do not need to grease the dough with butter.
  17. Everything, the dough is ready. You can lay your favorite filling on it and bake the dish at maximum oven power.

Eat pizza warm. Bon Appetit!
