pizza dough picture pizza dough picture pizza dough picture As simple as it seems, this dough has proven to consistently result in some of the best pizzas I have eaten to date, even though it is made in a common kitchen oven at only 200° C. It is more in line with an american pizza, due to its thick and fluffy consistency than the italian counterpart.
Preparation
Start with 500g of flour. Dissolve yeast cube in the room tempered water. Add water, salt and olive oil to the flour and knead for about 5 minutes with your hands, or a kitchen appliance. If the dough seems to be too solid, add 10 ml of milk. Put the dough into a large bowl and cover with a piece of cloth. Let the bowl rest in a warm spot for about 30 minutes to an hour.

After the dough has risen to about twice its size, take out of the bowl, spread additional flour on your working surface and begin forming a pizza of your favorite shape. Bake in the oven at 200°C for about 12-15 minutes, or until finished.
