- 153 grams 00 flour (1 cup plus one tablespoon)
- 153 grams of all-purpose flour (1 cup plus one tablespoon and two teaspoons)
- 8 grams fine sea salt (1 teaspoon)
- 2 grams active dry yeast (3/4 teaspoon)
- 4 grams extra-virgin olive oil (1 teaspoon)
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the two flours and sea salt.
- In a small mixing bowl, stir 200 grams (a little less than 1 cup) of lukewarm tap water, yeast, and olive oil. Pour it into the flour mixture and knead with your hands until well combined, for approximately 3 minutes. Let dough rest for 15 minutes.
- Knead the dough for 3 minutes. Cut into two equal pieces and shape each into a ball. Place dough balls on a heavily floured surface, covered with a dampened cloth. Let dough rest and rise for 3 to 4 hours at room temperature. (The dough can also rest in the refrigerator for 8 to 24 hours. Remove it 30 to 45 minutes before you begin to shape it for pizza.)
- To make one pizza, place a dough ball on a heavily floured surface, stretch it with your fingers, and shape it with your hands into a round. Top with goodies and bake.
- Please feel free to use your favorite dough, store-bought or homemade.
- Please don't buy pre-crumbled or fat-free feta; both versions don't exist in Greece and are dry and tasteless. Get a block of feta in brine, like MtVikos, or Dodoni. Israeli and Bulgarian feta are also good.
- For an alternative, great flavor, substitute the fresh mozzarela with kasseri cheese. it is more savory and melts well. It pairs wonderfully with feta and tomatoes.
- Use ripe tomatoes with firm skin. Any size and color will do great.
- In case no fresh herbs are available, use their dried versions.
