Authentic Italian Pizza Dough (Vivian’s Version)

This classic dough yields 5 medium pizzas (∅ 20 cm) or 3 larger ones. We always save one portion to make a Nutella pizza as dessert! 

With a pizza oven like the Ooni Fyra 12 shown in photo below (https://ooni.com/), you'll get bubbly, crispy crusts in 60–90 seconds—just like a true Italian pizzeria. These ovens reach 500 °C and are ideal for thin-crust pizza cooked fast and hot (no publicity, just own one). 

A simple no-cook recipe for sauce and some pizza ideas are included below. 

Note: Bread flour or ‘00’ flour is recommended because the higher protein content develops gluten better, resulting in a chewy, elastic crust that holds up well to toppings.
