- 7.5 g salt
- 5 g dry active yeast

- Place the dough in an air-tight container, or in a bowl covered with plastic wrap. Let the dough rest for 30 minutes to let the gluten hydrate and ddevelo.
- Take the dough out of its container and knead it to a smooth, springy dough ball. This step can either be done by hand or in a stand mixer This should only take a couple of minutes.
- Place the dough in a lightly oiled airtight container or in a bowl covered with plastic wrap, and let the dough rise for 4-6 hours.
- Remove the dough from the rising container and stretch it out directly on a baking sheet or on a sheet of parchment paper. Use your fingertips and press it outwards from the middle into a rectangular shape. But make sure to keep an edge around the pizza. This will create a nice, raised crust!

- Bake the pizza for 30 minutes at 400°F (205°C), until the crust is nice and crispy and slightly brown.
