Zio Ciro's tips for a good pizza dough
Ingredients
• 1 kg of flour
• 1 cube of yeast
• 500 ml of tepid water
• 2 tablespoons of oil
• 2 teaspoons of salt
Instructions
Form a dent in the mound of flour on a table, add the water, yeast, and other ingredients. Knead the dough by hand until it is smooth and soft. Cover the dough with a damp cloth and leave to rise until it has doubled in volume. Preheat the oven before inserting the pizza. For a crispy pizza insert immediately, for a thicker, softer pizza leave to rise, covered with a damp cloth, for about another hour.
Pizza making tips
• High baking temperature.
• Do not excessively knead the pizza dough.
• Maintain the right proportion of water and flour.
• Use sparkling mineral water - mineral salts improve the dough.
