Making pizza dough at home is super easy, and can be done in less than 30 minutes. In this video, I demonstrate how to make homemade pizza dough. This recipe requires NO MILK, and it has a basic texture that makes it suitable for any crust you want to bake.
Mixing, kneading and resting
The first step to baking the best homemade pizza is making the dough. You can buy the dough in frozen form, so you don’t need to spend any time on this step. For best results, it’s best to leave the dough out to thaw before you start making your dough. To freeze the dough, you want to form the dough into a block and then transfer it to a freezer bag. Once frozen, take the dough out of the freezer bag, and let it sit out on the counter to thaw overnight. To make the dough, place the flour in a large bowl and slowly add the water. Mix the flour and water together with your hands until you have a stiff dough that can be kneaded. The dough should be soft enough to stretch easily but not sticky or wet. If the dough is too wet, add more flour. If the dough is too dry, add a little bit of water. When the dough is ready, you can start making your dough. You want to knead the dough by hand until the dough is shiny and smooth. You can also use a stand mixer to knead your dough, but this method is only recommended if you’re working with a lot of dough. When you’re finished, let the dough rest for 20 to 30 minutes. This allows the gluten in the dough to relax and the gluten to strengthen. After resting, you want to form your dough into a ball and place it in the
Pre-bake, cool, bake
So first, let’s make sure we have all the ingredients for this homeade pizza dough. A good first step is to remove any extra water from the flour. If the dough has more water than flour, it will be sticky and tough to work with. Next, we are going to make a simple dough starter. This will allow the flour to hydrate and the dough to rise. For this starter, you will need bread flour, sugar, yeast, olive oil and a little bit of salt. I like to use ¼ cup bread flour, ¼ cup sugar, 1 teaspoon active dry yeast, and 3 tablespoons olive oil. You will need to mix these ingredients together. The most important thing is to mix them thoroughly and then let them sit for about an hour at room temperature. It is very important that the dough not be allowed to cool down to too low of a temperature before you begin shaping the dough. Also, this dough should be made ahead of time so that it can be refrigerated. The dough should be completely cool before you roll it out.
Top and bottom
First, you need some basic ingredients. These are flour, yeast, salt, and water. Most recipes call for a tablespoon of sugar, but this isn’t necessary. The important part is using warm water. You can warm the water over the stove, in the microwave, or just use hot tap water. Also, you want to make sure that you are using a high-gluten flour. This is a flour that has a high amount of gluten, which helps the dough stay together. If you’re using a bread flour, you might be able to try it, but it won’t work the same. Also, add a teaspoon of salt to the water.
Pulling, shaping, stretching and slashing
Pull the dough into a ball, either by hand or using a stand mixer, and place it in a lightly oiled bowl. Lightly dust the top of the dough with flour, and cover with plastic wrap. Let the dough rise for at least an hour, or until it has doubled in size. It’s ready when the dough is puffy and can easily be stretched into a round. To stretch the dough, gently cup your hand in the center and flip the ball into your palm. Rotate the ball in your hand and stretch it out. Gently slap the bottom of the dough to let out some of the air. Gently stretch it out into the desired shape. Let the pizza cool in the oven until it is firm enough to put on a tray or peel. Remove from the oven, and top with sauce and other toppings.
