500 g of flour
350 ml of water
12 g of extra-virgin olive oil
10 g of normal yeast or 80 g of mother yeast
7 g of salt
250 g of tomato sauce

Method

When the ingredients are mixed and the dough will become more compact, add salt and continue to knead for 5 minutes. The last ingredient to be added is extra-virgin olive oil. Once you get a ball, put the dough in a bowl covered with a cloth and put it in the cold for about 12 hours (if you use the brewer's yeast may be enough for 4 hours or at least doubling the dough).

Then divide the dough, forming two balls and let them rest for an hour before spreading them in a pan greased with oil, always using your hands.

Turn on the oven at 220 ° C. Separately prepare the tomato puree seasoned with salt and extra virgin olive oil (and if you like with dried oregano). Pour the mixture over the dough and bake the red pizza for 15 minutes in an oven already hot. Check the cooking from the edges, so that the pizza is crunchy but not too dry and remove it from the oven. If you like, add some fresh basil leaves.
