Method
Mixing the Dough
- In a mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt.
- In a separate bowl, dissolve the yeast in the water.
- Gradually add the water mixture to the flour, stirring with a wooden spoon until a shaggy dough forms.
Kneading
- Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
First Rise
- Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let it rise at room temperature for 1-2 hours, or until doubled in size.
Shaping the Dough
- Once risen, punch down the dough and divide it into 4 equal pieces.
- Shape each piece into a ball and place on a floured surface, covering with a damp cloth.
- Let the dough balls rest for at least 30 minutes before stretching into pizza bases.
