I. Time Required
- Ingredient Preparation Time: 5 minutes
- Dough Fermentation Time: Approximately 1 - 1.5 hours (depending on ambient temperature of 82.40-89.60℉)
- Crust Making Time: 10 - 15 minutes
Total Time: Approximately 1 hour 20 minutes - 1 hour 50 minutes
II. Ingredients
- 150 grams of high - gluten flour
- 50 grams of low - gluten flour
- 3 grams of yeast
- 15 grams of granulated sugar
- 2 grams of salt
- 15 ml of olive oil
- 100 - 110 ml of warm water
III. Preparation Process
- Yeast Activation: Put the yeast into warm water, stir well, and let it stand for 5 - 10 minutes until rich foam appears on the surface, indicating that the yeast has been activated.
- Ingredient Mixing: In a larger container, mix the high - gluten flour and low - gluten flour evenly. Then add granulated sugar and salt and stir well again. Next, slowly pour in the activated yeast water and olive oil, and stir into flocs with chopsticks.
- Kneading Dough: Pour the flocculent dough onto the countertop and knead it vigorously. Knead the dough for 10 - 15 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic and can be stretched into a thin film (i.e., the expansion stage).
- Fermentation: Put the kneaded dough into a container smeared with a little olive oil, cover it with plastic wrap. Place it in a warm and humid place for fermentation. The fermentation time is about 1 - 1.5 hours until the volume of the dough expands to twice its original size. You can test by poking a hole in the middle of the dough. If the hole does not retract, it means the fermentation is complete.
- Degassing and Shaping: Take out the fermented dough and place it on the countertop. Gently press to release the gas. Knead the dough into a round shape, and then roll it into a round pizza crust of a suitable size for the pizza pan with a rolling pin. Put the crust into the baking pan and evenly pierce some small holes on the surface of the crust with a fork to prevent the crust from bulging during baking.
