Instructions

Step 1: In a small saucepan, warm 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil over low heat and add 3 thinly sliced garlic cloves. Infuse for 5 minutes without browning the garlic, then remove from heat and let cool.
Step 2: Dissolve 10 g fresh yeast in 200 ml warm water in a large mixing bowl for 5 minutes until foamy.
Step 3: Add 300 g 00 flour and 1 tsp sea salt to the yeast mixture, then pour in the garlic-infused olive oil (without the garlic slices). Mix and knead on a floured surface for 10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Step 4: Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for 1.5 hours until doubled in size.
Step 5: Punch down the dough and divide into two equal portions. Shape into balls and rest for 30 minutes before rolling out for your favorite pizza toppings.
