Just 10 Minutes! Easy, Authentic, Chewy and Fluffy Pizza
- 200 grams All-purpose flour (or 3 parts strong flour : 1 part cake flour)
- 140 ml Lukewarm water
- 3 grams Dry yeast
- 1/2 tsp Salt
- 1 tsp Sugar
- Combine the flour, salt, sugar, and dry yeast in a bowl and lightly mix.
- If using fresh yeast, soak in lukewarm water.
- Add the lukewarm water (with the fresh yeast if using fresh yeast) and mix with your hands.
- You can also use a rubber spatula if you like.
- Bring it all together and knead in the center of the bowl or on a lightly dusted table or board.
- After about 5 minutes, it should not be sticky.
- It is ready when it's elastic.
- If it's rather sticky, add a bit of flour.
- Cover the bowl with a moistened and wrung out towel, cover with a plastic bag or plastic wrap, and chill in the refrigerator for at least 5~8 hours for the second rising.
- If you're in a hurry, chill for 2 hours.
- The dough should rise to about twice the size.
- The picture shows dough that has chilled for 5 hours.
- Coat your finger with flour and try pressing a hole into it.
- Divide into 2 equal pieces and roll into balls.
- Cover so that it doesn't dry out and let rest for 20 minutes.
- Preheat your oven to the highest temperature possible, heating your baking pan at the same time.
- I use a convection oven that goes up to 250C.
- Flatten the rested dough out on kitchen parchment paper.
- Press out to 30 cm diameter and top with the toppings.
- It will become a bit springier and puffier than your ear.
- Slide the pizza with the kitchen parchment paper onto the hot baking pan from the preheated oven.
- It'll puff right up.
- It'll be done in 10 minutes.
- The pictured pizza is topped with tomato sauce, sliced mozzarella, and dried basil.
