RECIPIES
Basic pizza dongh To make a good pizza dough at home use the following recipe:
Ingredients for 500 g of dough: 300 g flour /25 g yenst / a pinch of salt / 1 glass of lukewarm water.
Pour the flour onto the table in a heap, make a hollow in the centre to form the "well" and add a tevel teaspoonful of
cooking salt. Crumble the yeast into a small glass of lukewarm water, pour it into the well a little at a lime and start mixing.
At the start the dough will be soft and sticky, but it will becom e stiffer and more elastic as you knead it. Thump the dough
hard against the table and press your wrists against it to make it smooth and even. When you have repeated this prcocedure
many times, you will find that the dough comes away from your hands and the table easily; now form a ball. Cut a cross on
the top and leave to rise in a warm corner of the table, covered with a clean tea-towel.
Leave for about 2 hours, during which tinie the dough will double in size (this may take much less in hot, humid
conditions). At this point, after rising, the dough may be kneaded again for a few minutes and used immediately, or frozon.
If you are going to use it at once, before kneading you can add the oil of your choice. this will almost always be extravirgin
olive oil, but in some special recipes it may be lard or butter. If you decide to freeze the dougll, wrap it up in a freezer film
and place it in freezer. When you decide to use it, thaw it at room temperature and knead it for 5 minutes with a little oil.
THE TRADITIONAL PIZZAS
