      I have a godly pizza recipe

      Ingredients for the dough:  
      
      400 g flour (type 500 or 00)  
      280 ml water  
      2 tablespoons olive oil  
      1 teaspoon salt  
      8 g fresh yeast  
      
      DOUGH PREPARATION  
      
      Pizza dough preparation process:  
      
      Mix water, which should be at room temperature, with olive oil. Add salt and crumble the yeast. Stir to dissolve the yeast and let stand for about 10 minutes.
      Pour the mixture into a bowl with flour and knead for about 20 minutes to obtain a soft, smooth and elastic dough.  
      
      If necessary, you can add a little more water or flour while kneading.  
      
      Shape the kneaded dough into a smooth loaf. Place it in a floured bowl and cover well so that it does not dry out during the rising process.  
      
      First, let the dough rise for one hour at room temperature, then transfer it to the refrigerator for 48 hours.  
      
      After 48 hours, remove it from the refrigerator and let it rise for one hour at room temperature.
      Then take the dough out of the bowl and divide it into two loaves, if desired, for two pizzas. Brush the tops of the loaves with olive oil, cover with clear plastic wrap and let rise for another hour.  
      
      Stretch the risen dough with your hands, forming a circle with your palms, from the center to the edge. To make it easier, you can also oil your hands a little.
      Finally, use your fingers to form a few millimeters thick edge.  
       
      Note: The dough can also rise overnight or for 24 hours.  
      

      Bake on 270°C preferably on a pizza stone if you have one.

    Came here to suggest an alternative: Crosta & Mollica

    As far as I can tell they’re even from Italy.

    We kinda get the best of both worlds: we just get the bases and make what we want so the speed of a ready made pizza, but the flavours of home made.

    But still, NO PINEAPPLE !!

        Kiwis, no… Australians… maybe (jk)

        No, I’m a firm believer in meat and spice on a pizza: 'nduja, jalepeños and chorizo are my usual

          Fair enough pal, that sounds exactly like my standard zza…except I do actually put pineapple on mine. Instead of chunks I use pulped, strain as much juice out as I can manage, and lightly sprinkle some on. And some baby spinach under the cheese…

      Wagner also committed war crimes in Ukraine. Or so I’ve heard.

      Dr Oerker was founded by a nazi. Probably still controlled and owned by nazis. Check Wikipedia for their family history.

      Edit: not all German companies, this one specifically, check my answer below for details. Also some companies supported and profited from the nazi regime but aren’t affiliated anymore. They changed ownership, renounced their past and the ideology and eventually made reparations. I don’t believe this is the case with Dr Oetker but I would be happy to be proven wrong.

          Definitely not, lot of good German companies. on my phone so didn’t make a detailed essay, which is why I encouraged you to read Wikipedia.

          For those who can’t be bothered:

          During the 1930s and 1940s, Rudolf-August Oetker was an active member of the Waffen-SS of the Third Reich. The company supported the war effort by providing pudding mixes and munitions to German troops. The business used slave labour in some of its facilities. A bronze bust of Richard Kaselowsky still sits within the company headquarters in Bielefeld. Kaselowsky was killed during an air raid on Bielefeld in 1944.[2] The Oetker Family is among those German families, who have profited most from their close relations to the Nazi regime.[3]

          I have to correct the original founder might not be a nazi. His grand son defined was.

          The company is still privately held by the same family, and controlled

          Richard Oetker, August Oetker’s brother, took over as CEO in 2010.

          Source: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dr._Oetke

          Edit: before someone try to paint me as some anti German strawman. I like Germany, and went there multiple time, for works, vacation and the ccc congresses and camps And it actually pained me to learn the company history because I actually liked their pizza.
