How to Make Slow Fermentation Pizza Dough
Ingredients:
- Water
- Yeast
- Sugar
- Flour
- Salt
- Olive oil
Directions:
- In a bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water with sugar. Mix well and let it sit for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- In a large bowl, mix flour and salt. Add olive oil and the water with dissolved yeast. Mix using a wooden spoon until the dough is very soft and slightly sticky. Do not add extra flour.
- Cover the bowl with a clean towel and let it rise at room temperature for 10 to 12 hours.
- Since the dough is very soft, do not roll it out with a roller. With oiled or lightly floured hands, take a portion of dough and spread it directly in a mold or baking sheet.
- Add your choice of toppings (margherita, cheeses, vegetables, etc.) and bake in a preheated oven at 220-250°C until the dough is golden and crispy.
- Raw dough can be stored in the refrigerator for 24 to 48 hours or frozen after rising. Enjoy!
