Main Ingredients

For the dough:

• 1 1/4 teaspoons (7 g / 1 packet) active dry yeast.

• 1 cup (240 ml) warm water, about 105– 115° F (40– 46° C) .
• 1 tablespoon (15 ml) extra virgin olive oil, plus more to coat bowl.

Optional for finish:

• 1 tablespoon (15 ml) olive oil to brush crust.
• Flaky sea salt, fresh basil, or cornmeal/semolina for the peel.

Quality notes: Use fresh yeast. If it smells off, toss it. Pick good extra virgin olive oil. It adds real flavor. Flour choice shapes texture. Bread flour gives chew. 00 gives silkiness.

Seasoning Notes

Keep it simple. Sea salt and black pepper are essential. For herbs, use dried oregano plus a pinch of red pepper flakes. Add a small garlic powder pinch for depth.

Flavor enhancers: a splash of olive oil in the dough helps browning. A teaspoon of sugar feeds yeast. Finish with a brush of oil and flaky salt.

Quick swaps: No active dry yeast? Use 1 teaspoon instant yeast mixed with flour. No olive oil? Use canola. No oregano? Use basil or Italian seasoning.
