Pizza Bianco Directions
- 1
Make the Dough
In a bowl, combine warm water and active dry yeast. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until frothy. In a large mixing bowl, combine flour and salt. Make a well in the center, pour in the yeast mixture and olive oil, then mix until a dough forms.

Knead the Dough
Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
