What You Need to Make Pizza Dough

If it’s your first attempt at making pizza dough, it is best to keep ingredients as few
and simple as possible. You need 2 cups of flour, ¾ cup of warm water, 1 envelope
of active dry yeast, 1 tablespoon of sugar, 1 teaspoon of salt and 2-3 tablespoons
of olive oil. Make sure water is warm and not hot, and opt for fibrous flour instead
of white.

Step 1: In a large bowl, mix water, yeast and sugar. Combine ingredients
thoroughly and allow the mixture to sit for 10 minutes. If brownish foam forms on
the top of your mixture, it means the yeast is fresh. If not, it is advisable to
purchase another envelope of yeast.

Step 2: Stir in only 1 cup of flour into the yeast mixture. Mix well and set mixture
aside for 30 minutes.

Step 3: Add the salt and olive oil, combining ingredients thoroughly. Stir in another
cup of flour.

Step 4: Use your hands to knead the dough for 15 minutes. If it sticks, add a pinch
of flour until it no longer sticks to your bowl.

Step 5: Pour a teaspoon of olive oil and spread it all over the dough. Transfer
pizza dough to a new, clean bowl and cover the top with plastic wrap.

Step 6: Place oiled dough in a warm area like a sunny window or oven for 40-45
minutes. When it has doubled in size, knead it one more time and refrigerate
overnight.

Step 7: Turning the dough into crust is (for most people) the best part about
learning how to make pizza dough. Remove dough from the fridge and use hands
to pat it into a circle. Here, you get to decide how thick your pizza should be.

Step 8: Preheat oven to 230 degrees or 450F. Lightly grease a baking tray and
place pizza dough evenly on it. Add any topping you like and bake until it turns

Cooking Tips
One of the best perks about knowing how to make pizza dough is choosing your
favorite toppings. You can brush the crust with tomato paste, layer it cheese and
add anything from salami to avocadoes. To make healthier pizza, form a thinner
crust and use lean meats, vegetables and even pineapples as toppings. You can
also experiment with low-carb sauces to boost the taste.

Learning how to make pizza dough has many, many benefits. Not only do you get
to create your own flavors, you can also control the amount of calories your pizzas
contain. With just a few ingredients, you can enjoy restaurant-standard pizzas right
from your very own kitchen. Bon appétit!

Hi! I tried this before and was really happy with the results.It’s more tedious though
since it needs to be prepared a day ahead so I was wondering if it can be frozen?
Will this affect the texture? I baked it on my homemade travertine pizza stone and
it was really crispy without the need to grease it.I really love your site.Thanks
again!
