Ingredients:
- 500g (about 4 cups) bread flour
- 325ml (1 1/3 cups) warm water
- 10g (2 teaspoons) salt
- 2g (1/2 teaspoon) active dry yeast
- 15ml (1 tablespoon) olive oil
- Prepare the Dough: In a large mixing bowl, combine the bread flour and salt. In a separate bowl or measuring cup, dissolve the yeast in the warm water. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until frothy.
- Mixing: Make a well in the center of the flour mixture and pour in the yeast mixture and olive oil. Stir together with a wooden spoon or dough hook attachment on a stand mixer until a shaggy dough forms.
- Kneading: Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes, or until the dough is smooth and elastic. Alternatively, knead the dough using a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook for about 5-7 minutes on medium speed.
- First Rise: Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, turning to coat all sides. Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap and let it rise in a warm, draft-free place for about 1 to 1 1/2 hours, or until doubled in size.
- Divide and Shape: Once the dough has risen, punch it down to release the air. Divide the dough into 3 equal portions (or fewer if you prefer larger pizzas). Shape each portion into a smooth ball and place them on a lightly floured surface. Cover with a clean kitchen towel and let them rest for about 15-20 minutes.
- Second Rise (Optional): For best results, you can let the dough balls rise again for another 30-60 minutes. This step helps develop more flavor and texture in the dough.
- Pizza Making: Preheat your Ooni pizza oven or regular oven to its highest temperature (usually around 500-550Β°F or as high as it can go). If using an Ooni oven, follow its specific instructions for preheating.
- Roll Out the Dough: On a lightly floured surface, gently stretch or roll out each dough ball into a round pizza crust of desired thickness. Transfer the stretched dough onto a pizza peel or lightly floured baking sheet.
- Baking: Add your favorite pizza toppings over the dough. Slide the pizza onto the preheated pizza stone or baking sheet in the oven. Bake for 5-7 minutes in an Ooni pizza oven or 10-12 minutes in a regular oven, or until the crust is golden brown and the toppings are cooked to your liking.
- Serve: Remove the pizza from the oven using a pizza peel or spatula. Allow it to cool slightly before slicing and serving hot. Enjoy your homemade Ooni pizza!
