Dough Ingredients

Method

Dough Preparation

  1. 1

    Mix Ingredients

    In a large bowl, combine warm water and yeast. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until frothy. Then add flour, salt, and olive oil. Mix until a dough forms.

  2. 2

    Knead the Dough

    Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 10 minutes until smooth and elastic.

  3. 3

    Let it Rise

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

  4. 4

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your wood-fired oven to around 800°F (427°C) for optimal cooking.

  5. 5

    Shape the Pizzas

    Once the dough has risen, punch it down and divide it into 4 equal portions. Roll each portion into a ball and let them rest for 10 minutes before shaping them into pizza bases.
