Grated pecorino is a cost-effective alternative with a similar flavor.

Combine bread flour, instant yeast, sugar, and salt in a mixing bowl.

Mix whole milk with water and gradually add to the dry ingredients on the lowest mixer setting.

After about 1-2 minutes, add neutral oil to the mixture and continue mixing for another 1-2 minutes until well incorporated.

Allow the dough to undergo bulk fermentation for about 1-2 hours until it doubles in size, covering it to prevent drying out.

After 2 hours, divide the dough into four 10 oz (283 g) balls using a scale.

Ball each piece of dough by tucking it onto itself to create a taut top and seal the bottom, using a little oil if it gets dry.

Place the dough balls in a container with enough space and refrigerate for 1-3 days for proofing.

Take the dough out of the fridge a couple of hours before making the pizza to allow it to reach room temperature.

Add flour to the dough to prevent sticking and prepare a 10-inch pan by oiling it.

Stretch the dough gently into the pan, ensuring an even stretch and forming a crust if desired.

Cover the stretched dough with a damp towel and let it proof in a warm area for 2-3 hours.

After proofing, add tomato sauce to the pizza, using the pan to guide the saucing.

Preheat the oven to 550°F and bake the pizza for 8-12 minutes.

Check the pizza for browning on the cheese and crust, and if necessary, return it to the oven for additional color and crunch.

Once satisfied with the color, remove the pizza from the oven and check the bottom for good color.

Sprinkle a little oregano on top for extra flavor before serving.
