Homemade Pizza

Cultural Context

Pizza originated in Naples, Italy, and has become a global favorite. Traditionally made with simple ingredients, it reflects the Italian culinary philosophy of using fresh, high-quality components. Each region in Italy has its own variations, and it is often enjoyed as a communal dish, perfect for gatherings and celebrations.

1

Take 1 cup and 1/3 of warm water at 110 degrees and add in the bag of dry yeast, stirring to combine.

2

Let the yeast mixture sit for about 5 minutes until it looks creamy.

3

In the bowl of a stand mixer with a dough attachment, add 3 and 1/2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon of salt, 1 teaspoon of sugar, and 2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil.

4

Mix the dry ingredients slowly to combine.

5

Add the yeast mixture to the bowl and mix on medium speed until combined.

6

Reduce the mixer speed to low and mix for about 10 minutes until a smooth dough forms.

7

Remove the dough from the mixer and cut it in half.

8

Form each half into a ball by pulling the sides in and pinching them together.

9

Place each dough ball seam-side down in an oiled bowl, brushing a little oil on top to prevent a crust from forming.

10

Cover the bowls tightly with plastic wrap and place them in a warm space to rise.
