REAL ITALIAN PIZZA DOUGH
Pizza dough as it is made in Italy. When I first moved to Italy, I was surprised to see that deciding to eat a pizza for dinner meant whipping up pizza dough with a few common ingredients a couple of hours before. Using fresh, compressed yeast, it rises in an hour. Stretchy, chewy, and so full of flavor, there's no need to order out. This dough works for calzone as well as focaccia, and the recipe doubles perfectly!

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to the lowest setting possible.
- Combine 4 cups flour and salt in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the dough hook attachment; turn mixer on low speed. Crumble yeast into small pieces and add to the flour. Slowly pour in water. Scrape the sides to make sure all flour is incorporated and mix until dough begins to pull away from the sides and form a ball. Drizzle in oil and mix until fully incorporated.
- Knead on low speed for 5 or 6 minutes, adding 1 to 2 tablespoons extra flour if needed. Remove dough from the bowl and use your hands to form a ball. Return dough to the bowl and score the top with an "x." Cover with a damp cloth.
- Turn oven off and place dough in the oven to rise for at least 1 hour, or up to 8 hours.
- Remove dough from the oven and reattach the bowl to the stand mixer. Uncover and punch down dough. Knead on low speed for 5 minutes.
- Meanwhile, place a pizza stone or tray on the bottom oven rack and preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
- Cut dough into 4 equal pieces and roll each one into ball. Dust with flour if needed. Place balls on a sheet pan and cover with a damp cloth. Roll out each ball into a 9-inch circle and top with desired toppings (no more than 1 cup sauce per pizza).
- Place pizza on the pizza stone in the preheated oven. Immediately lower the temperature to 410 degrees F (210 degrees C) and bake for 10 to 12 minutes; actual length of time will depend on your toppings. Repeat to make remaining pizzas.

YUM ITALIAN PIZZA BASE
This is it- the perfect base! You can easily make this in the breadmaker on dough setting (just thow it in, water on the bottom, then flour then yeast). I usually make 4 bases from this dough, if you want it extremely thin you can and make 5 bases.

Steps:
- Make sure that the room where the dough will be prepared is warm. In the winter, a temperature of about 22ºC and in the summer time, where the temperature in the house could be higher, reduce the quantity of yeast.
- As a first step, activate the yeast. Take 150 ml of warm water and put it into a jug. Add the granulated yeast and the sugar and give a stir. Cover the jug with a cloth and wait for 15 minutes.
- Meanwhile, put the flour into a large bowl and sprinkle with sea salt. Stir so to evenly distribute the salt within the flour.
- After 15 minutes, you should have a frothy layer inside the jug. Give another stir.
- tart gently stirring the flour and at the same time pour the contents of the jug into the bowl.
- Add the remaining 150 ml of warm water into the bowl and keep stirring so that all the flour is wet.
- Add the extra virgin olive oil. Give a good stir so that all the ingredients are well mixed together.
- Pour the bowl contents onto the working surface and start to work the dough energetically. Press, extend forward and roll backwards for 10 minutes. The dough should become smooth and elastic and you should have the feeling that it is sweating.
- Coat the dough ball with flour and prepare it for the rising.
- For the rising, you can either put the dough ball into a large bowl or leaving the dough ball onto the working surface. In both cases spread some flour onto the bottom where you will lay the ball dough, so that it will not stick. Then, cover the ball dough with a cloth and leave it in a warm room for a couple of hours or until it doubles in size.
- Spread some flour onto the working surface. Take the risen dough and work it again for a couple of minutes. Then, divide the dough in five parts and make a small ball of each part.
- Take the rolling pin and start rolling so that you can make a large circle, to suit a 30 cm diameter pizza tray.
- The pizza base should be very thin; a couple of millimetres thick.
- Spread some flour onto the pizza tray and then lay the pizza base onto the tray. Top with pizza toppings as you like.
- Set the oven at the maximum temperature (usually 240ºC - gas mark 9) and pre-heat it properly. If the oven is at the right temperature and your pizza is thin, it should take about 8-10 minutes to cook. Fan assisted ovens may require a different cooking time. After 5 minutes cooking, checking the pizza frequently is a good idea and when the border starts to become golden brown, it is probably the right time to take the pizza out of the oven.

Steps:
- Start making your pizza dough by measuring out your dry ingredients. Add flour, active dry yeast, sugar and salt to a large mixing bowl.
- Add olive oil and lukewarm water.
- Using your dough hook, knead your pizza dough for 10 minutes.The perfect pizza dough should be completely smooth. It shouldn't stick to the side of your bowl, but still feel a little bit wet when you touch it.
- Place your dough in a large bowl, previously oiled with about 1-2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil. Move it around with the hand so that all parts should be covered with oil.
- Let it proof covered for 90 minutes.
- After 90 minutes, push the air out of the dough.
- Cut the pizza dough into equal pieces - 1 for every pizza. For the amounts in this recipe, cut it into 2 equal pieces, about 280 g each.
- Form a ball from each of the dough pieces. Start by making a circular motion with your palm of your hand, with some pressure. Then release the pressure gradually until you get a nice ball shape. Put the balls on a lightly floured work surface. Dust them with some more flour, and let them proof covered with a kitchen towel for another 15 minutes.

EASY AND AWESOME PIZZA BASE RECIPE
BEST PREPARED THE DAY BEFORE COOKING!!! I'll explain in the instructions. A few years ago I was living in a loveless "Agrestic" style town (google Agrestic if you aren't sure what I mean) where there was one pizza place and it was awful. It was akin to one of those international pizza chains but had a gourmet sounding name so they charged a shed load more. Being from Melbourne I grew up with good food, especially good pizza so I sought to remedy the situation myself. I'll let you decide how to top it though I might suggest using caramelised red onion & capsicum, quality salami, feta cheese, kalamata olives and a Napoli sauce on the base. Whatever you use, just remember to use the freshest available ingredients and never skimp on quality.

Steps:
- Dissolve the yeast and sugar in the warm water and leave for 5 minutes.
- While waiting, sift the flour into your mixing bowl. Add the salt & oil.
- Once a foam has formed on the yeasty water pour it in and start mixing. Add more water as required (varies depending on climate, humidity etc.) until the dough feels like a young woman's breast. I was taught this by a baker many years ago and while it sounds rude, it really is the easiest way to describe how a good dough should feel. Now clean your mixing bowl.
- This next part, while not vital, does make a noticeable difference. Rub oil around the surface of the dough, put it in your clean mixing bowl and stick it in the fridge. Leave it there for as long as possible (24 hours is best but 6 hours is ok). If you don't have time for the fridge don't stress - just skip it and move on.
- If you used the fridge you will have noticed your dough rose, albeit slowly. Take your dough out of the fridge and let it rise some more.
- Once risen pound the crap out of it to flatten it again but don't knead it too much. Cut your dough into 3 or 4 balls, roll them flat, fold them up and roll them again. This creates air pockets which expand giving your base the authentic 5 star Italian wood-fired look and feel in the comfort of your own home. If the dough begins to feel tough while you're working it, let it rest for 5 minutes. It's just the gluten tightening up and resting it relaxes it.
- Top your bases and cook for 10 minutes or so. If you make thicker bases it often pays to partly cook the base for 5 min then top and bake again.
- Enjoy!
