1 1/2 cups warm water
4 cups bread flour
2 tsp bread yeast

Let mixer knead dough for about 5 minutes, or until nice and elastic.

Coat bowl with a little bit of olive oil

Let the dough rise overnight in the fridge, or during the day in a warm place

Cut tomatoes and mozzarella into thin slices

Divide the dough into four chunks

Roll out one chunk of dough to roughly a 14 inch circle

Toss in the air, if you dare!

Use semolina flour on the pizza peel, to keep the dough from sticking
