500 grams of filtered water
25 grams of olive oil

Cách làm

Put all the ingredients for the dough together and knead until well combined. If you don't use a machine, be prepared for some effort because the dough is quite wet. Knead for about 15 - 20 minutes.
Cover the dough and let it rest for 15 minutes.
Place it in the refrigerator and let it rest for 24 hours.
After that, take it out and let it rest for 1 hour in summer or 2 hours in winter at room temperature.

Prepare a clean work surface and dust it generously with flour to prevent sticking.
Place the dough on the floured surface and sprinkle a little flour on top to reduce stickiness.
Use a spatula or dough scraper to divide the dough into 4-5 equal portions and quickly shape them into balls.
Prepare a well-floured surface and place the dough balls on it. Cover them with a clean cloth and let them rest for an additional 4-6 hours at room temperature in cold weather (or you can place them in the refrigerator), or 2-3 hours in hot weather.
Preheat the oven to a high temperature.

Use your hands to press the dough ball gently, starting from the center and working your way outwards, making it thinner towards the center while leaving a slightly thicker border around the edges. This will help create the traditional shape of a Napoli-style pizza.

Place the dough on a baking tray and spread tomato sauce, mozzarella, and toppings over it.
Bake until the pizza has puffed up, and the crust is golden brown. In your oven, it should take around 4-5 minutes for one pizza to cook.
Remove from the oven and enjoy it while it's hot!

To make Focaccia, simply press the dough into a thin round shape, about 0.5-1 cm thick. Drizzle a generous amount of olive oil on top, sprinkle with oregano, and bake until golden brown.

For Calzone, follow the same steps as making a pizza but shape the dough into a half-moon shape, sealing the edges tightly to prevent it from bursting open while baking.
