How to make Pizza dough:
- Put the water in a bowl and add the sugar and yeast. Let stand 5 minutes for the yeast to activate.
- In a mixer or in a large bowl add flour, malt powder and salt and mix.
- Gradually add the water with the yeast and oil and mix (either with the machine or by hand) until you get a ball of dough that we can knead.
- If it is too dry we add a little water and if it is too sticky, we add flour. Knead then for 5 to 10 minutes on a lightly floured surface.
- Cover it with a cloth and let it sit in a warm place for 30 to 45 minutes or until doubles in volume.
- If you want to make thick pizzas (about 5 to 6 mm thick raw), then split the dough in two to make two pizzas.
- If you want to make thin pizzas (about 3 mm thick raw) then we divide the dough into three parts to make three pizzas about 20 cm in diameter.
- Using a rolling pin, roll pizza bases and then add the ingredients according to your choice.
- Bake the thick pizzas at 220 degrees and the thin ones at 240 degrees for 12 to 15 minutes on a lightly floured baking paper or on a special pizza rack.
