Ingredients

2 pounds Strong flour, sifted
1 tbsp. Extra-virgin olive oil
1 tbsp. Fine sea salt
1/2 tsp. Dry active yeast
500 ml Lukewarm water

Method

01

In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the water with active dry yeast until dissolved. Pour the mixture into the mixer, add olive oil, and using your dough hook attachment, start mixing on low speed, and slowly incorporate the sifted flour.
02

Mix all ingredients for about 5-6 minutes, adding the salt towards the end, until the dough is smooth and stops sticking to the sides of the bowl. If the dough is still too sticky sprinkle on a little more flour if it's too dry add a little more water.
03

Transfer the dough onto a clean surface sprinkled with flour and work with your hands until smooth and even.
04

Transfer the dough in a lightly oiled bowl and cover with cling film or a damp kitchen towel. Allow resting in a warm place for about 2-3 hours, until the dough has doubled in size.
05

Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and divide it into 180-200gr pieces with the help of a dough scraper.
06

Work each dough piece with your hands until forming a smooth and even ball, then transfer into a lightly oiled tray and cover with a kitchen towel.
07

Allow the dough balls to rise for an extra 3-4 hours, then use within 6 hours.
