Ingredients
- 500 grams 00 flour
- 325 ml lukewarm water
- 10 grams fine sea salt
- 2 grams instant yeast
- 15 ml extra virgin olive oil
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the lukewarm water and instant yeast. Let it sit for 5 minutes until the yeast is dissolved and slightly foamy.
Step 2
Gradually add the 00 flour to the bowl while mixing with your hand or a wooden spoon. Sprinkle in the fine sea salt once the flour is partially incorporated.
Step 3
Add the extra virgin olive oil and continue mixing until the dough begins to come together but is still shaggy.
Step 4
Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for 8-10 minutes, or until the dough is smooth, elastic, and slightly tacky to the touch.
Step 5
Place the dough in a clean, lightly oiled bowl and cover it with a damp kitchen towel. Let the dough rise at room temperature for 2-3 hours, or until doubled in size.
Step 6
Once risen, gently punch down the dough and divide it into 4 equal portions. Shape each portion into a smooth ball.
Step 7
Place the dough balls on a lightly floured tray, cover them with a damp towel, and let them rest for 30 minutes before stretching or rolling them into pizza bases.
Step 8
Preheat your pizza oven or standard oven with a pizza stone at its highest temperature (250-300°C or 480-575°F) for at least 30 minutes.
Step 9
Stretch or roll out the dough balls into 10-12 inch circles. Add your desired toppings and slide the pizza onto the preheated stone.
Step 10
Bake for 5-7 minutes, or until the crust is airy, blistered, and golden. Adjust cooking time based on your oven's heat intensity.
Step 11
Remove the pizza from the oven, let it cool slightly, and serve immediately. Enjoy your freshly made Neo Neapolitan pizza!
