Homemade Pizza Bread

Instructions

1. Activate yeast: Dissolve 1 teaspoon of dry yeast in 250 grams of lukewarm water and let it activate for about 5 minutes until it starts to foam.
2. Mix dough: In a large bowl, combine flour and a pinch of salt. Add the yeast-water mixture and knead the dough for 5-7 minutes until it becomes elastic and not sticky.
3. First rise: Shape the dough into a ball, place it in a bowl, cover it, and let it rest for about 20 minutes.
4. Add olive oil and knead: Add 1 teaspoon of extra virgin olive oil to the dough and knead for another 3-4 minutes to incorporate the oil.
5. Second rise: Place the dough back in the bowl, cover it, and let it rise until it doubles in size, approximately 30-40 minutes.
6. Shape dough balls: Roll the dough into a sausage shape and cut it into six equal pieces. Shape each piece into a ball.
7. Roll out pizza breads: Roll each dough ball out to about the size of your hand (approximately 12-15 cm in diameter). Place them on baking paper and cover with a cloth.
8. Final rest: Let the rolled-out dough rest covered for 10-15 minutes.
9. Cook pizza breads: Cook each pizza bread one at a time on a very hot pan until bubbles form and the bread puffs up like a balloon. Flip and cook until nicely colored, about 1-2 minutes per side.
10. Serve: Keep the cooked pizza breads warm in a clean cloth until serving. Enjoy with fillings, dips, or as is.
