Makes 3 12"/30cm pizzas · 121 kcal per serving

Ingredients

• 550 g all purpose flour
• 6 g instant yeast
• 15 g salt
• 20 g white sugar
• 14 g olive oil
• 369 g water

Method

1. 1. Mix the flour, yeast, sugar, and salt, then add the water and olive oil and stir to a shaggy dough with no dry flour left.
2. 2. Cover and let it sit 1 h, so the flour hydrates and the dough relaxes.
3. 3. Shape the dough into a tight ball by gathering the edges into the center, then cupping and dragging it on the counter to tension the surface smooth.
4. 4. Rise covered 1–2 h until doubled, or refrigerate overnight for better flavor and bring back to room temperature before shaping.
5. 5. Divide into 3, ball each, and rest 30 min.
6. 6. Stretch each to a 12-in round, top, and bake at 500°F / 260°C on a preheated stone or steel until blistered and golden, 7–10 min.
