Here’s a recipe that captures the essence of traditional Italian pizza dough:
• 160g all-purpose
• 90 g water, room temperature
• 3 pinches of salt
• 4 g fresh yeast (or 2g of dry/instant- activated)
• 60g peeled tomatoes
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 4 basil leafs
• Half garlic clove
• 1 pinch of salt
• In a glass melt the yeast in the water.
• Once it’s melted add to the flour in a medium mixing bowl.
• Add 3 pinches of salt and knead briefly with a fork.
• Once all the ingredients are well mixed start kneading thoroughly with your hands until the
dough is soft and elastic.
• Once all flour has been incorporated, turn pizza dough out onto a lightly floured working surface.
• Begin kneading dough gently.
Once dough is elastic and smooth, place onto baking tray and cover with a wet kitchen towel. Let
the pizza dough rest 1,30/2 hours until its properly risen.
Heat up olive oil on a pan on medium heat and stir fry garlic and basil. Add pure peeled tomatoes
and salt. Reduce the heat and let it simmer for 20 minutes.

I got the first attempt wrong. The second was fine. The difference was standing there watching instead of wandering off, which is apparently the entire skill. Do not give up after one go.
Very forgiving. I made at least two mistakes and it still worked.
First time making Italian food that tasted Italian rather than like my idea of it.
The presentation suggestion at the end is worth following. It made the table look considered without any extra work.
