Cách làm
Put all the ingredients for the dough together and mix until well combined. If you don't have a mixer, be prepared as the dough will be quite wet. Knead for about 15-20 minutes.
Cover the dough and let it rest for 15 minutes.
Place the dough in the refrigerator and let it rest for 24 hours.
Afterwards, take it out and let it rest for 1 hour in summer or 2 hours in winter at room temperature.
Prepare a well-floured surface and sprinkle some flour on the dough to prevent sticking.
Using a spatula or dough scraper, divide the dough into 4-5 equal portions and quickly shape them into round balls.
Prepare a generously floured surface, place the dough balls on the floured surface, cover them with a cloth, and let them rest for an additional 4-6 hours at room temperature in cold weather (or you can refrigerate them), or 2-3 hours in hot weather.
Preheat the oven to a maximum temperature.
Press the dough ball with your hands, starting from the center and working your way out, to make the center thinner while leaving a slightly thicker crust around the edges. This will help create the classic Naple-style pizza shape.
Place the stretched dough on a baking tray or pizza stone, then spread tomato sauce evenly over the dough. Add mozzarella cheese and your desired toppings.
Bake the pizza in the oven until it puffs up, turns golden brown, and the cheese melts. In my pizza maker, it may take around 4-5 minutes for the pizza to cook.
Remove from the oven and enjoy your hot, delicious pizza!
To make Focaccia, simply press the dough ball to a thickness of about 0.5 - 1 cm as desired. Drizzle a generous amount of olive oil over the dough, sprinkle with oregano, and then bake until golden brown.
For Calzone, the process is similar to making pizza, but shape the dough into a half-moon or pillow shape. Pay attention to pressing the edges firmly to prevent the filling from leaking out when the calzone expands during baking.
