It is important to dissolve the yeast in the water (start with 250ml), as you otherwise cannot be sure that it is fully dissolved, and thus risk small yeast pieces in the dough.
Now pour the flour over the water and dissolved yeast.Do not pour sugar and salt directly into the yeast water, before the flour.It’s important to add the salt and sugar last.As salt and sugar kick-start the yeast, it will begin to work immediately.Then add olive oil.

Place the bowl in the mixer, and start the mixing process.This should be done at low speed for about 2 minutes.It's also important to adjust the dough's consistency at this point, adding more water if it's too dry.The dough should be soft, not too firm, and if it feels like modeling clay, you need to add more water. Adding more water later than after the 2 minutes does more harm than if you do it during the mixing process.Now that the dough is mixed, increase the speed and let it knead for about 4-6 minutes at a good speed.
*Tip: A good dough can be stretched out like good chewing gum without breaking, the thinner membrane you can get when you pull it out, the better the pizza base you will achieve.Feel free to take a sample test during the process.The result I got during this test was not perfect, but semi-okay. See if you can do better.
Once the pizza dough is fully kneaded, and you have a good dough, sprinkle a bit of flour on the table, place the dough on it, and quickly knead it together into a long sausage.
Now divide it into 6-8 equally sized pieces, and roll them into balls.Place them on a floured plate or cutting board, with a good distance between them.Now wrap the plastic wrap around the pizza dough so it seals tightly.If you don't have plastic wrap, you can just cut open a freezer bag and wrap it around, then place them in the fridge, preferably for 24 hours, i.e., until the next day.
*Tip: If you need a quick pizza dough urgently, add double the amount of yeast, and use lukewarm water instead, preferably 30-40 degrees Celsius (86-104 degrees Fahrenheit).The water must not be hotter than 40 degrees, as the yeast will be killed at temperatures above 40 degrees.
