Preparation

Preparing the Pizza Dough

Mix dry ingredients

In a large bowl, mix the flour, salt, and yeast.

Add water

Gradually add water, mixing until a sticky dough forms.

Roll out the dough

Roll out the dough into a thin circle and place on a floured pizza peel.

Add the sauce and toppings

Spread the tomato passata over the dough, leaving a border for the crust.

Do not overload your pizza with toppings to ensure even cooking. Pro Tip: Toss the arugula in a bit of olive oil before placing on the pizza for added flavor.
