The Fun Begins: Let’s Make Some Dough!
Step 1: The Perfect Mix
- Start with your kitchen scale. Precision means perfection.
- For two large pizzas, use 500g of flour. Then, do the math for the rest (you’ve got this!).
- Flour, water, yeast, a bit of salt, a splash of olive oil – mix it up!
Step 2: The Rise of the Dough
- Let your dough take a nap in a cozy, oiled bowl.
- Cover with a damp cloth and wait for it to double – it’s like watching a fitness transformation!
Step 3: Dough Balls
- Punch it (gently!) to release air – it’s a mini workout.
- Divide and conquer: make two equal balls.
- Rest time again – think of it as their cool-down phase.
Step 4: Roll It Out
- Flatten and stretch – show that dough who’s boss!
- Aim for a 12-inch diameter – think of it as your pizza canvas.
Step 5: Top It Like a Champion
- Keep it light and healthy – tomato sauce, low-fat cheese, and loads of veggies.
- Less is more – keep your pizza in top shape!
Step 6: The Big Bake
- Crank up your oven with a pizza stone or steel – we’re going for gold!
- Bake until it's crispy and golden – about 10-15 minutes.
Step 7: Slice and Celebrate
- Take that beauty out of the oven.
- Slice and behold your masterpiece.
