  2. Mix flours and salt: Combine wheat, rice, and soy flours with salt.
  3. Combine ingredients: Add yeast mixture gradually to flours. Knead in olive oil until smooth (~10 mins).
  4. First rise: Cover and let dough rise 1–2 hours until doubled. For stronger flavor, refrigerate overnight.
  5. Shape dough: Stretch into a 12-inch oval on a floured surface.
  6. Add toppings: Spread tomato sauce, mozzarella, and your favorite toppings. Keep it light.
  7. Bake: Preheat oven to 250°C (480°F), bake 10–12 minutes until golden brown and cheese melts.
  8. Serve: Let cool slightly, slice, and enjoy with a drizzle of olive oil or fresh basil.

Notes

  • For a lighter, airier crust, allow a slow overnight fermentation in the fridge.
  • Use fresh mozzarella for best melt and flavor.
  • Avoid overloading toppings to maintain the signature airy texture.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days; reheat in the oven for best results.
