  • 200 ml (3/4 cup) lukewarm water

Method

Restated from the original video

  1. 1

    Dissolve the yeast in the water. Combine it with the flour and salt in a stand mixer fitted with the dough hook.

  2. 2

    Mix on low speed for 8 min, until the dough pulls cleanly from the bowl and looks satiny.

  3. 3

    Cover the bowl and leave it somewhere warm until the dough has doubled, 1 1/2-2 hours.

  4. 4

    Split the dough into 2 portions and shape each into a tight ball. Cover them for 30 min.

  5. 5

    Heat the oven to 250 °C (480 °F) with a baking steel, stone or inverted heavy tray on the middle rack. Preheat for at least 30 min.

  6. 6

    Crush the tomatoes by hand with a pinch of salt until mostly smooth but still a little chunky.

  7. 7

    Stretch one ball on a floured surface into a 28 cm (11 in) round, thicker at the rim. Slide it onto a floured sheet of baking paper.

  8. 8

    Spoon half the tomatoes over the dough in a spiral, leaving a 2 cm (3/4 in) border. Scatter over half the garlic and half the oregano.

  9. 9

    Drizzle with 1 tbsp of oil. Slide the pizza with the paper onto the hot steel and bake until the rim is browned and blistered, 8-10 min.

  10. 10

    Finish with another 1/2 tbsp of oil and serve at once. Repeat with the second pizza.
