🥘 Ingredients

1

This is a basic pizza dough inspired from Jamie's Italy. He's very specific about the method, but for me bread is bread and I take things a little more loosely. Makes 3 to 4 pizzas.
2

In a bowl add all purpose flour , semolina (griesmeel) , salt , instant yeast and sugar . Mix these together with a whisk.

all purpose flour: 400 g, semolina (griesmeel): 100 g, salt: 1/2 tbsp, instant yeast: 7 g, sugar: 1/2 tbsp
3

Add water in parts, first about 2/3rds and then adding bit by bit. Mix with a hand mixer with dough hooks, your kitchenaid or just your hands. You might not need all water, or you might need a little more: this depends on the type of flour you use (more specifically the protein and starch content).

water: 325 ml
4

Knead for 8 minutes.
5

Cover the top of the dough with some oil (olive oil tastes nice if you have), and then use a dough scraper to loosen the sides of the ball from the bowl and pull it out flipping it over. Run it through the bowl to cover all sides.
6

Cover the bowl with plastic and let rise for at least 15 to 30 minutes.
7

Divide into 3 or 4 balls depending on the size of your pizza, roll them so the surface of them is tight and let rest for another 15 to 30 minutes.
8

Roll out into your pizza bases and top with whatever! Bake how your heart desires.
