The Dough

To make a delicious pizza, light, crunchy and above all digestible, you must have available good quality ingredients to prepare your dough. Mix the water, flour, yeast, salt and oil to obtain a soft and malleable dough. The aim is to obtain a 'spiral'. Try to work quicky and have the dough ready in about 8 minutes; remember that from this moment, every minute more mixing the dough increases the temperature of the dough by 1 degree. Place the dough on the work surface and kneed it until it resembles a large shiny ball, then cover with a damp cloth (contact with the air will form a crust). If you have prepared the dough for immediate use (6-8 hours) wait around 20 minutes before proceeding with the formation of the dough into balls; if instead you are preparing the dough for later use (24-48 hours) it is sufficient to wait until 5 minutes beforehand to form the dough balls. The weight of the dough balls depends on the size of the pizza that you wish to prepare, the balls can rest covered with a cloth on trays.
