I think this Roman recipe is the best pizza dough of all, as it bakes up crisp and tender, without the slightly soggy texture of the more bread- like dough. It lends itself well to both the traditional flat pizza shape, and the deep-pan type.

Instructions

Step 1

Sift the flour with the salt and sugar, and mix in the dry yeast.

Step 2

Beat the egg into warm water and stir it into the dry ingredients. Add more water as needed to make a soft, springy dough.

Step 3

Knead for about 5 minutes, then put it into an oiled bowl and turn it over until it shines.

Step 4

Cover and let it stand about half an hour, until it has doubled in bulk.

Step 5

Flour a working surface, and flatten out the ball of dough into a rough round. You may need to work in some more flour at this stage, if it is too 'clingy'.

Step 6

Shape it as directed in the recipes, and, if you wish, oil the surface before proceeding with the filling of your choice.
