Course: Main
Cuisine: Italian

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour plus extra for dusting
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup water warm
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil plus extra for brushing

Equipment

  • Mixing bowl
  • Oven
  • Rolling pin or your hands for stretching
  • Baking sheet or pizza stone
  • Pizza peel (optional)

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). If you have a pizza stone, place it in the oven while preheating.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. Mix well to ensure even distribution of the leavening agent.
  3. Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the warm water and olive oil. Stir until a dough begins to form.
  4. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 2-3 minutes until smooth. If the dough is too sticky, add a little more flour as needed.
  5. Roll or stretch the dough into your desired pizza shape, about 1/4-inch thick. Transfer to a baking sheet or pizza peel dusted with cornmeal.

Notes

Chef's Tips:
• For a crispier crust, pre-bake the dough for 5 minutes before adding toppings
• Avoid overworking the dough to prevent toughness
• Serve with a sprinkle of fresh herbs like basil or oregano for added flavor
Food Safety:
• Ensure the dough is cooked thoroughly to an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C)
• Store leftover pizza in the refrigerator within two hours of baking
