To Make the Perfect PIZZA | Maurios Kitchen

Follow the Instructions

Your oven and metal oven tray/pizza stone must be pre-heated to about 230 degrees Celsius. The oven must have both the top and bottom elements on.
Put 100 grams of Original Dry Dough into your mixing bowl and add
60 ml of warm water (about 37 degrees) and mix with the handle of a wooden spoon or similar object until the dough is sticky.
The right consistency is sticky, so please do not add more water or flour once you reach that consistency.
Put a little bit of oil on your hands. Now remove the mixed dough from your mixing bowl and work it into a smooth ball.
Now place the dough in a sealable container, at least 3 times
the size of the dough for 2 hours, this is to allow it to proof (rise). You can also use cling wrap to seal it if you do not have a sealable container.
Lightly flour your hands before removing your dough from the container.
Be gentle to ensure you do not knock the air out of your dough.
Place the dough on a smooth surface/kitchen counter that has been sprinkled lightly with flour. Press and stretch the dough outwards from the middle of the ball with your hands.

Stretch it, flatten the middle, and shape it until your base is
25-30cm in diameter (this is for a thin base)
Make sure the edges are about 3 times thicker than the middle of the base, this is to ensure the whole base bakes uniformly. (Expanding hot air will push heat from the edges to the middle)
Make sure there is only a little bit of flour on the bottom of your base
(dry flour burns easier and you do not want that to happen)
Put your base on your pre-heated oven tray or pizza stone and pre-bake for 2 – 3 minutes. You will see blisters form in the middle as the heat works its way to the center.
Remove the base from your oven and add your Tomato Sauce and other preferred toppings before baking it in your oven for another 10 minutes until crispy. When topping a Pizza, remember “Less is Best”
You can always bake it for a minute less or more depending on how light, fluffy and crispy you want your Pizza.
