Italian Style Homemade Pizza

Makes 3 pizzas
350 g flour
200 ml hot water
25 g fresh yeast or 7 g instant yeast
Pinch of sugar
1 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp salt

250 ml tomato passata
½ can peeled tomatoes
1 clove garlic
½ onion
Salt, pepper, sugar to taste
Fresh or dried basil and oregano
1 tbsp olive oil
Optional: chilies or jalapenos for spice

Remove dough from the fridge 30 minutes before baking. Prepare sauce and toppings.

Heat your pizza stone on the grill to 300 °C.

Flour your work surface and shape dough into “shovel-sized” bases by hand - avoid rolling pins to preserve air bubbles.

Place dough on a floured pizza peel, spread sauce, cheese, and toppings.

Slide pizza onto the heated stone, close lid, and bake ~5 minutes. Look for browned edges, melted cheese, and bubbling crust.

For multiple pizzas, adjust burner heat to avoid burning the bottoms.
