    How to Make Perfect Pizza Dough

    1. Activate the Yeast

    In a bowl, whisk together the warm water, yeast, and sugar. Let this mixture sit for about 10 minutes until it develops a foamy top, indicating that the yeast is active.

    2. Prepare the Dry Ingredients

    In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook, combine the “00” flour and salt to ensure even distribution.

    3. Mix Dough Ingredients

    Pour the activated yeast mixture into the flour and salt mixture. Add the extra virgin olive oil and mix on a low setting until the dough becomes smooth and elastic, about a few minutes.

    4. Knead the Dough

    Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead by hand for a few minutes until it is smooth yet slightly sticky.

    5. Let the Dough Rise

    Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise until it doubles in size, which might take about an hour.

    6. Roll Out the Dough

    Dust your work surface with semolina and roll out the dough to your desired thickness before using it to make pizza.
