Pizza dough recipe with yeast

Mix 500 g wheat flour with 7 g dried yeast and 2 teaspoons salt in a large bowl. Take care that the yeast does not come into direct contact with the salt as this may affect its activation.

Add 300 ml of lukewarm water and 1 tablespoon of olive oil and start kneading the dough.

Pour onto a lightly floured work surface and knead until you get a homogeneous, elastic dough (about 10 minutes kneading time). If you have a bread machine at home, you can use it for kneading, it makes your work easier and the result is the same.

Cover the dough with a kitchen towel and leave to rise at room temperature for 2 hours.

Let the dough rise - it will double in volume during the rising time. Once this is done, the dough is ready to use.
