This document provides step-by-step instructions for making pizza from scratch. It lists the necessary ingredients which include flour, yeast, salt, sugar, olive oil and water. It then outlines each step of the process from mixing the dough and letting it rise, to dividing, stretching, topping and baking the pizza.

to make pizza

2. Ingredients
• 250 g strong white bread flour or Tipo ‘00’ flour
• 1 level teaspoon fine sea salt
• 3.5 g of dried yeast
• 1 teaspoon sugar
• 1 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
• 160 ml lukewarm water
• 1 Jar of Prego Sauce
• 1 Packet of Mozzarella Cheese

3. Materials
• Sieve
• Bowl
• Fork
• Damp Cloth
• Clingfilm
• Pan
• Knife
• Tray

4. Sieve
Sieve 250 grams of flour into a bowl.
Do this by putting a bowl on a scale
and then turning it on. Make sure there
aren’t any big lumps of flour
afterwards. Also add 1 teaspoon of salt
to it.

5. Measure
Measure 3.5 grams of yeast, 1 teaspoon of
sugar, 1 tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil
and 160 ml of water. Do this by using the
scale, and measuring cup. Then boil the
water until it is warm (you should be able to
put your finger in it).

6. Mix & Add
Mix the yeast, sugar, olive oil and water in a
bowl. The pour it into the middle of the
sieved flour and salt.

7. Mix
Mix everything together by making circles on the
outside and slowly coming into the middle. Try to
use only one hand so you can use the other
hand for picking or getting things.

8. Knead
After mixing everything, use one hand to knead the
dough until it no longer sticks to your hand. Add
flour to help. Knead by pushing dough
forward, pulling back then rotating.

9. Leave it
Put dough in a bowl and sprinkle flour on top of it. The
use dam cloth to cover the bowl and leave it in a
warm place for an hour so it can grow. When putting
damp cloth on, make sure there isn’t any water
dripping from it.

10. Knock the air out
Take the dough out and put it on a flour-
sprinkled surface. Then knead it to push
the air out of the dough – ‘knocking the air
out of it’.

11. Option?
If you are immediately continuing to make the
pizza, ignore this. However, if you will continue
tomorrow, wrap dough in Clingfilm and leave it in the
refrigerator/freezer and continue tomorrow.

12. Divide
Divide the dough up into as many pizzas
you want. With this quantity, you should
be able to make either a large pizza or 2
medium sized pizzas.

13. Stretch
Using a rolling pin, stretch out the pizza
and try to make the outcome a
square/rectangle (so it fits the tray).

14. Topping
With a knife, spread the Prego Sauce onto the
dough, leaving a little space on the border for
the crust. Then sprinkle or put cheese and
topping of choice onto where the
sauce is spread.

15. Oil on Tray
Get a tray to put your pizza in and put 1
tablespoon of olive oil onto the middle of the
tray. Then with your hands, spread it on the
whole tray. Make sure, it reaches the sides too!

16. Onto the Tray and into the
oven!
Use the rolling pin to help,
put the pizza dough onto
the tray and then put it
in the oven to bake.
Leave it there for about
15-20 minutes.

17. Out and Slice
Bring the pizza out of the oven and cut it
into preferred number of slices with a
knife.

18. ENJOY! :)
