Classic Italian pizza dough

Our family has one delicious tradition - every Saturday night we all bake homemade pizza :-) I knead the dough, my husband rolls it out and our child puts the stuffing. Of course you can buy a ready-baked pizza almost everywhere (especially here in Italy), but believe me, a homemade one tastes completely different. And it's so easy to make! We have tried many recipes for pizza dough and finally we have chosen our favorite one (it was given to us by a pizza chef Pino - a childhood friend of my husband). So, open the flour, take a rolling pin and make this delicious pizza for your family :-)

Perepichka is a slightly salty fried bread.

Bon appetit :-)
