Do I use olive oil in the dough?

[pizzatherapy]

Hi Albert,
I have already download the book and I am still reading it. I have discovered many interesting tips. The book is very good!. I have a question: Do I use olive oil in the dough if I am using a standard oven with a  stone pizza? I read some recipes without olive oil in the dough.
Sincerly yours,

Hello.

Using olive oil in your dough is totally optional.

The last few batches of dough I completely omitted olive oil and the dough was great. If you do omit olive oil use a bit more water.

Using dough made with oilve oil is no problem for a pizza stone. Make sure you put some cornmeal or flour on your pizza peel so the dough will slide easily.

You do NOT want to put olive oil on a pizza stone. That is a no no.

And don't over do the toppings, for pizza, less is always more.

pizza on earth,
