Pizza dough should be manageable for every cook, as you never know when you will need pizza dough. You will see for yourself that its preparation does not take too much time or too much concentration. But then pizza dough will surprise you with its similarity to the pizzas you get at pizzerias. That is why the pizza dough recipe is so popular. For little money, you get a lot of value. And how to deal with the fact that the vast majority of us do not have a traditional brick pizza oven at home?

As for the baking sheet, let it warm up with the oven, and then carefully transfer the pizza onto it on baking paper. Or get a pizza stone.
Preheat the oven to 250 °C at least half an hour in advance.
Bake the pizza dough right away to prevent it from rising a second time. The softest and crispiest pizza dough is made from semi-coarse flour.

Ingredients (what you need)

20 g yeast (1/2 cube)
½ teaspoon granulated sugar
500 g wheat semi-coarse flour
5 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon salt

Recipe steps

First, let the starter rise. Mix the crumbled yeast with a little lukewarm water and sugar.

In a larger bowl, mix the starter, flour, salt, and oil. Gradually add lukewarm water (300 ml) to create a smooth and cohesive pizza dough.

On a floured surface, start kneading the pizza dough thoroughly. It will become elastic and non-sticky.

Shape it into a ball, dust it with flour, cover it with a kitchen towel, and let it rise for 1–2 hours. It will likely double in size.

Then evenly divide the pizza dough into portions and roll each one out into a flat round, adding whatever toppings you like on your pizza, and immediately place it in the preheated oven.

Pizza dough is a fundamental component of one of the most popular dishes originating from Italy. It is made from simple ingredients such as flour, water, yeast, and salt. Olive oil is added for rolling it out into a thin layer, which ensures the right elasticity. Before baking, the dough is allowed to rise so that it becomes fluffy. Each region and cook can add their favorite ingredients to the recipe, giving the pizza its own character. Properly prepared dough is crispy on the edges and soft in the center, ideal for any toppings.
