Ingredients

Techniques
- 60 % spring water
- 3 % salt
- double zero pizza flour
- 0.2 % fresh yeast
- tomato sauce
Combine the spring water and salt; mix in about 20% of the 00 flour, then add the yeast, so the yeast is not in direct contact with the salt.
Keeping the yeast away from the salt
Add all the remaining flour and mix until it comes together. No honey or sugar.
Knead on the counter, pushing away with the palm and folding back, for 6 to 7 minutes; then slap and fold for about 3 minutes, until soft like smooth skin.
Gently deflate and shape into tight, smooth balls, skin side up, with no flour inside.
- fine semolina or cornmeal
Stretch each ball using fine semolina or cornmeal. Heat a wood-fired oven three hours before cooking.
