How to make Italian pizza

There will always be an urge in you to get this. Just look at it, I mean how can you not love this. You just can't eat it alone somebody will always be there to eat this with you. Share and enjoy.  

Ingredients

600 ml of water (warm)

7 cups (1kg) of flour.

2 1/2 – 3 tbsp (25 grams) of fresh yeast or 2 tsp (7-8 grams) of dried yeast.

6 tbsp of extra virgin olive oil

1 1/2  tsp of salt (to taste)

2 tsp of sugar

Instructions

First take a medium bowl and sprinkle the yeast into it with warm water. We mean warm! Then add the yeast to it and stir until the yeast dissolves.

After that place almost all of the flour on the table in the shape of a volcano (no need to be that perfect but if you are like me then perfection is the only option).

Then pour the yeast and warm water and mix along with the other ingredients into the of the volcano (opening of the volcano on the top).

Then knead everything together for about 10 to 15 minutes until the dough is smooth and elastic (stretches), keeping your surface floured.

After that grease up a bowl with some olive oil and put the dough inside it and turn the dough around so the top is slightly oiled.

Then cover the bowl and put the dough aside to let it rest for at least four or five hours (the time is your wish).

Make a cross on top of the dough with a knife. An old Italian tradition, this is seen as a way of “blessing the bread.” (only for people who want perfection in their work)

Then preheat the oven to about 400°F or about 200°C.

Dump the dough out of the bowl and put it back onto the floured surface. Punch it down, getting rid of any bubbles. (You will need a lot of energy for this so you better call a kid or show yourself some strength)

Divide the dough in half and let it rest for a few minutes.

Roll each section into a 12-inch disc (round shape). You can either make the pizza thin or thick but remember that the crust of the pizza will puff up after it will bake for a while.

Transfer the dough onto an oiled pizza pan or baking sheet.

Now it's time for the toppings, add tomato sauce. You can add additional sauces if you want but I prefer only tomato sauce. Brush the edges of the crust with a little bit of olive oil.

And it's time to bake each pizza for about 10 minutes. Then add mozzarella cheese (sliced or grated) on top, as well as any other ingredients (the topping choices are yours to decide).

Let the pizzas bake until the crust is browned and the cheese is melted. By lifting up the pizza to peek underneath, you can make sure the bottom has browned. (make sure that it is cooked)

Remove your pizzas from the oven garnish with a few basil leaves for the Italian touch.
