"I love pizza. My sisters always joke about the fact that I crave pizza the day after eating pizza. I even have a pizza sweatshirt (which I wear when I eat pizza!). I love all kinds of pizza; grilled, baked, baked in a fire oven, made in a pan, warm, cold, thick or thin. I love it. I also love the whole process of making pizza. Mom taught me how to make it by myself a few years ago, and I’ve been making it ever since. Hope you enjoy baking it and eating it as much as I do! Espero que lo disfrutes"

    after twenty minutes of blooming, it should look something like this. Add the olive oil and salt (quick note: do NOT pour the salt into the yeast. It will kill it. Form a little border with the flour and pour it there.) Stir, then knead.
