Dough Ingredients

Method

Making the Dough

  1. 1

    Activate Yeast

    In a small bowl, combine the warm water (110°F/43°C) with sugar and active dry yeast. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until it becomes frothy.

  2. 2

    Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and salt.

  3. 3

    Combine Ingredients

    Once the yeast mixture is frothy, add it to the dry ingredients along with the olive oil. Mix until a rough dough forms.

  4. 4

    Knead the Dough

    Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface. Knead for about 8-10 minutes until the dough is smooth and elastic.

  5. 5

    First Rise

    Place the kneaded dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth or plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until it has doubled in size.

  6. 6

    Shape the Dough Balls

    After the first rise, punch down the dough to release air. Divide it into 4 equal portions and shape each portion into a smooth ball.

  7. 7

    Second Rise

    Place the dough balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, cover them with a cloth, and let them rise for another 30 minutes.
