    Here's how:

      Crumble the yeast into a bowl. Heat the water to 20 °C, pour a little of the water over the yeast, and stir until the yeast is completely dissolved in the water. Add the rest of the water, oil, and salt, and stir.

      Add the wheat flour a little at a time—feel free to use a food processor or an electric mixer with dough hooks—and mix until you have a smooth dough.

      Let the dough rise under a kitchen towel for 30–60 minutes until it has doubled in size.

      Place the dough on a floured work surface and knead until smooth. Roll out the dough to the desired shape and place it on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or in pizza pans. The dough is enough for 2 baking sheets, each about 25×35 cm, if you want thin-crust pizza.

      Spread the tomato sauce on the crusts and top with your choice of filling. Bake at 225–250 °C in the middle of the oven for 10–15 minutes.
