Pizza dough is very similar to plain bread above. A “standard” pizza dough ball is 300g, and the standard hydration of pizza dough is 60%. So how much flour do you need? Challenge: you do the math! We are looking amount X grams where X + 60% of X equals 300.
The result is just over 180. And therefore this is the pizza dough (PD)
180g flour 120g water 4/5g Salt half a tbs. yeast
Or, if you want to make enough dough for two pizzas: 2xPD
360g flour 240g water 8g Salt one tbs. yeast
First, mix all the ingredients in a bowl, cover the bowl so that the dough does not dry out and let it rise for an hour or so.
Then fold the dough, cut in half and roll out the pieces.
I use some baking paper which I have cut into circles to make easier and shape the dough into a pizza.
Then “populate” the dough and bake it.
