An easy way to make pizza dough. How to make pizza at home. Step-by-step recipes. How to make homemade pizza

Pizza, from the very moment it appeared on the culinary horizon, has been and remains one of the most favorite dishes of millions of people. It is prepared in numerous catering establishments around the world. It is also a favorite for home cooking.

Both adults and children love her equally; both meat eaters and vegetarians. It is prepared both in the homeland of its origin and in different parts of the world. Its name sounds the same in all languages, so no one needs to explain what it is.

Nowadays, it is not difficult for lovers of this dish to eat it at any time. There are special establishments where it is prepared, and there is also an almost 24-hour home delivery service for delicious baked goods. Stores also sell semi-finished products with different fillings. In order to bring it to the state of the finished product, you just need to warm it in the oven or microwave, or keep it there for a longer time.

But despite such accessibility, many still strive to cook this delicious dish at home. Firstly, it turns out cheaper, secondly, you can cook it with any filling and thirdly, and most importantly - it’s homemade, it’s homemade. Everything that is prepared with love and with your own hands always turns out tastier.

The filling plays an important role, that’s clear! And it can be different, some like the classic ones, those that are traditionally used in cooking, while others cook “in Russian”, where what is in the refrigerator is used as a filling. It’s hard to argue here, because as you know, there’s no arguing about tastes.

But what you can’t really argue with is the fact that for any baking, the most important thing is the base, that is, the dough from which the baked goods are actually prepared. If it turns out dry and tough, then no amount of filling, even the most delicious one, will save it. It is the properly prepared tasty base that makes this Italian dish truly delicious.

Therefore, special attention is always paid to its preparation. Pizza is no exception. In Italy, family cooking recipes are passed down from generation to generation, from mother to daughter. Carefully stored and used with great love and respect.

Maybe you also have the same recipes in your collection. And for those who haven’t yet, I suggest the following options.

Basically, the foundation differs in three main characteristics. It can be yeast, yeast-free and puff pastry. Within each category, there are different options regarding ingredients and cooking methods themselves. There are thin and thick varieties, which can be prepared from any of the proposed options.

Many people like to cook this way. It cooks quickly, is tasty and slightly crispy, and it is not so high in calories, as it turns out thin.

There are general basics and ingredients for its preparation, knowledge of which will allow you to prepare any dough from available products.

  • It is best to use the highest quality flour from durum wheat
  • the flour must be sifted through a sieve twice to saturate it with oxygen
  • corn or ground bran can be added to wheat flour
  • very often dried herbs are added to flour, as a rule, these are herbs that give an aromatic aroma, for example Provençal
  • either drinking water (maybe even mineral water with gas) or milk, some fermented milk product, or mayonnaise is added as a liquid component
  • eggs may or may not be added
  • oil, usually olive oil, preferably of the highest grade, cold pressed “Extra Virgin”. If there is no such oil, then you can use any other vegetable oil, but of the highest grade
  • salt, sugar, spices
  • baking soda or baking powder, they allow you to achieve softness. In addition, baked goods will not go stale longer during storage. Although, as a rule, there is usually nothing to store, everything is eaten much faster.
  • After kneading, the dough must lie down and rest for 20-30 minutes, this will make it more elastic and soft. It will be easier to roll it out.


  • There are recipes where a liquid foundation is prepared. In this case, she does not need to lie down. It can be used, and even recommended, immediately after mixing.

This is the dough we used to make. There are four different recipes for each season.

Well, now, let's look at the cooking options.

Thin dough with olive oil

We will need:

  • flour - 2 cups
  • boiled water - 0.5 cups
  • olive oil - 4 tbsp. spoons
  • soda - 0.5 teaspoon
  • salt - 1 teaspoon (or baking powder)

Preparation:

1. Sift the flour into a bowl twice. Make a depression in the middle. Pour some boiled water at room temperature into it. Add salt and olive oil.

When sifting flour, it is additionally saturated with oxygen, and the dough becomes softer and airier. This should always be done when working with flour, and when baking any flour products.

2. Mix the mixture with a spoon. Quench the soda with vinegar. Add to the total mass. Instead of soda, you can use baking powder, you will need 1 tablespoon. Add remaining water. Mix first with a spoon, then place on a table sprinkled with flour.

3. Knead elastic dough. Knead for at least 10 minutes, then cover with a damp towel. Let it brew for 20-30 minutes.


Cover it with a damp towel so that it acquires better elasticity and pliability. In addition, it will take in the missing water if necessary.

4. Then cut off a part from it, roll it out or stretch it with your hands into a layer of the desired thickness, and transfer it to a baking dish or onto a baking sheet.

5. Grease with tomato sauce or paste. Place the filling. Bake until done.

Recipe without yeast in 5 minutes

As you can see from the title of the chapter, this is a very quick, and I will also add an easy way to prepare it. In addition, it is also low-cost. And all the products can be found in every refrigerator.

We will need:

  • wheat flour - 5 tbsp. spoons
  • egg - 3 pcs
  • mayonnaise - 3 tbsp. spoons
  • salt - a pinch
  • vegetable oil for lubrication

Preparation:

1. Break the eggs into a bowl and beat them with a fork or whisk.

2. Add mayonnaise and salt and continue whisking. You should get a homogeneous mass.

3. Gradually add flour sifted through a sieve and mix. The dough should be quite liquid, with the consistency of thick sour cream.


4. Grease a frying pan or baking sheet with vegetable oil and pour out the resulting mass. Flatten with a spoon.

5. Lay out the filling. Bake or simmer in a frying pan.

This recipe belongs to the category, is prepared in 10 minutes, and therefore does not require an abundance of filling. Therefore, take this into account when preparing it.

Kefir dough

In fact, this option can be prepared from any fermented milk products. You can use fermented baked milk, yogurt or sour milk, natural yogurt without aromatic additives and fruit, of course. You can also add sour cream, mixed with boiled water to the consistency of kefir. But today we are cooking with kefir.

And this option turns out very tender and tasty. It just melts in your mouth, and you always want to eat baked goods made from it with some additives. So keep this in mind when you start cooking.

We will need:

  • flour - 2 -2.5 cups
  • kefir - 1 glass
  • egg - 1 pc.
  • vegetable oil - 1 tbsp. spoon
  • salt - a pinch
  • soda - 0.5 teaspoon (or baking powder 1 teaspoon)

Preparation:

1. Remove kefir from the refrigerator in advance so that it comes to room temperature. You can even keep it slightly warm. To do this, you can warm it by briefly placing it in a bowl of hot water.

2. Pour kefir into a bowl, add soda and stir. Small bubbles will appear on the surface. This is good, since the soda reacted with kefir and the dough will end up in a hole, and the finished product will be very tasty.

3. Add salt and mix.

4. Break the egg into a bowl, stir until smooth.

5. Add oil. As noted above, it is better to use extra virgin olive oil. Or any premium vegetable oil.

6. Sift the flour and add the mixture to it. Knead the dough, adding a little more sifted flour if necessary. It should turn out pretty cool.


7. Divide into two equal parts, roll each into a ball. Place in a bowl, cover with a damp towel. Let sit for 20 - 30 minutes.

8. Roll each part into a large circle.

9. Grease a baking sheet with oil. Transfer the base onto it, stretch it with your hands if necessary. Try not to make the edges too thin.

10. Place the filling and bake in the oven.

Kefir dough - recipe No. 2

But I found such an interesting recipe on the Internet.

I liked it, and so did you! I think that baking according to this recipe will certainly be delicious. Somewhat long, of course, but what can you do, because we know that “art takes time.”

Italian cooking recipe

This is a very tasty recipe that always produces delicious results. So be sure to take note of it.

We will need:

  • flour - 4 cups
  • milk - 1 glass
  • egg - 2 pcs.
  • olive oil - 2 tbsp. spoons
  • salt - 1 teaspoon

Preparation:

1. Break the eggs into a bowl and mix them with a fork.

2. Continuing to stir, add salt, milk and butter. The mass should be homogeneous, and no bubbles should form.

3. Sift the flour and gradually add it to the liquid component. Mix first with a spoon.


4. Then place the mixture on a floured table and knead the dough into a stiff dough, as shown.

5. Roll it into a ball, place it in a bowl and cover with a damp towel. Leave for 20-30 minutes.

6. Then divide it into pieces of the desired size, roll each one out. Place the filling on it and bake in the oven.


There are also other recipes without yeast. You can see them in another note on. And we'll move on to the next category of recipes.

Yeast pizza dough

There are also rules for preparing this option. In principle, all the rules are the same as for yeast-free, but there are also specific ones that relate only to this category.

  • yeast can be used either fresh or dry. Although when Italians prepare this dish at home, they try to use fresh live yeast.
  • if the yeast has been sitting for a long time and its expiration date has expired, then there is no need to use it, it will be of no use
  • all products must also be fresh
  • Water, milk and fermented milk products can be used as a liquid component. But it is desirable that they are slightly warm. This will make the fermentation process easier and faster, and the dough will rise faster.
  • It is always necessary to add a little sugar to the dough, again to improve the fermentation process
  • Never add more salt than the recipe calls for. Its excess slows down the fermentation process, and the dough “floats”
  • You can add eggs, but without eggs the base is thinner. This should be taken into account when preparing
  • it should infuse from 1.5 to 5 - 6 hours
  • it should not be too tight, this will make the pizza tough
  • aromatic herbs and fresh herbs can be added to it
  • you need to knead the finished dough thoroughly until it begins to move away from your hands
  • When forming the base, many Italians do not use a rolling pin. They stretch it with their hands
  • if you are preparing a thin version of the workpiece, then you do not need to overload it with filling
  • Before adding the filling, coat the base with oil. In this case, the filling will not stick to the base and will not allow it to get wet.
  • so that the edges of the finished product acquire a pleasant golden hue, they need to be greased with oil
  • To make it crispy, it should be baked at a temperature of 200 -220 degrees
  • To prevent it from becoming too dry, it should not be left in the oven


  • If you have an extra piece left, it can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To do this, you need to wrap it in cling film.

Both fluffy and thin pizzas are prepared using the yeast method. Let's look at some recipes.

The simplest yeast dough

We will need:

  • wheat flour - 500 gr
  • fresh yeast - 20 g (or dry instant yeast - 12 g bag)
  • olive oil - 1 - 2 tbsp. spoons
  • sugar - 1 teaspoon
  • salt - 0.5 tsp
  • warm water - 1 glass

Preparation:

1. Pour half the warm water into a bowl and stir the sugar in it, then dissolve the yeast. Add half of the sifted flour. Stir until smooth and place in a warm place for 15-20 minutes.

2. Add salt to the remaining flour and mix. Gradually add flour to the dough. Knead. Add more flour if necessary. To prevent the dough from sticking to your hands, you can grease them with vegetable oil or sprinkle them with flour.

3. Place it in a warm place for 1-1.5 hours, covering it with a damp towel. After the time has passed, knead it and divide it into pieces. Place one part in the mold, stretching it with your hands to create the desired shape. Usually they try to make it thinner in the middle, and thicker, with sides, at the edges. It will be convenient to put the filling into such a base.


Brush the top with olive oil.

This is a very important moment of preparation - the surface of the base will not get soggy when it comes into contact with the juicy filling, it will bake well and the pizza will turn out especially tasty and tender!

4. Grease with sauce and add filling. Bake until done.

Delicious yeast dough

I suggest watching a video where you can see not only the entire cooking process, but also learn some secrets.

With this recipe, the pizza always turns out tender and tasty.

Thin yeast dough for pizza with milk

This is a variant of butter dough, which also finds its use in cooking.

We will need:

  • flour - 500 gr
  • milk - 1 glass
  • olive oil - 2 tbsp. spoons
  • fresh yeast - 10 g (dry 5 - 6 g)
  • egg - 2 pcs
  • sugar - 1 teaspoon
  • salt - 0.5 tsp

Preparation:

1. First, let's prepare the dough. To do this, we will need to have warm milk, which we will need to pour over the prepared yeast. For a better fermentation process, add sugar to the mixture.

2. Let stand for 15 - 20 minutes until the mixture becomes “live” and a foam cap appears on its surface.

3. Sift the flour twice into a bowl or onto the table in a heap. Make a funnel-shaped depression in the center.

4. Pour the dough into it, add salt, olive oil and the remaining milk. Mix carefully. Then knead.

5. Place the resulting mass in a bowl, cover with a towel and place in a warm place for an hour to an hour and a half, until it rises and approximately doubles in volume.


6. Then divide the mass into 2 - 3 parts, form a base and place it on a greased baking sheet.

7. Place the filling and bake until done.

To prevent the dough from drying out at the edges, they should be left minimal and greased with butter. Grease the rest of the base with olive oil and the sauce. Then add the filling.

Yeast base for fluffy pizza

Many products are baked thin, and they have their fans. But I know people who simply do not recognize such food. They believe that a flour product should be fluffy. And that's why this recipe is for them.

We will need:

  • wheat flour - 2 cups
  • warm water - 200 ml
  • dry yeast - 6 g (a little more than half a bag)
  • olive oil - 5 ml
  • sugar - 0.5 tsp
  • salt - a pinch

Preparation:

1. Dissolve yeast in half of warm water. Add sugar and let stand for 15 - 20 minutes. During this time, the fermentation process should begin.

2. Meanwhile, sift the flour into a bowl twice.


3. Make a depression in the center. Stir salt in the remaining water and pour into the well. Add olive oil and shake lightly with a fork.

4. Pour in the dough that has arrived at that time, stir with a fork or spoon in a circular motion, gradually grabbing and mixing in the flour.

5. Then continue kneading the dough with your hands.

6. Grease a large bowl or pan with oil and place the resulting mass into it. Cover with a towel and leave for 2 - 3 hours. During this time it will double in volume.


7. Knead the dough. Transfer to a greased baking sheet and stretch it into shape.

8. Post the filling. Bake until done.

Recipe like in a pizzeria

I would like to offer a classic recipe for making Margherita pizza dough. Perhaps this is the most common variety in the world. And its base is used to prepare many other varieties.


We will need (for 2 servings):

  • flour - 250 gr
  • warm water - 250 ml
  • fresh yeast - 10 g (or 1/3 of a small packet of dry yeast)
  • sugar - a pinch
  • salt - a pinch
  • olive oil - for greasing

Preparation:

1. First, let's prepare the dough. To do this, mix yeast, sugar and 2 tablespoons of warm water. Add 2 tbsp. tablespoons of flour and place in a warm place for 20-30 minutes.

2. After the time is up, sift the remaining flour twice, the last time on the table in the form of a slide.

3. Make a small depression in the middle. Pour the dough into it, add salt and half a glass of warm water. Knead.

4. Knead until it stops sticking to your hands. This usually takes 10 - 15 minutes.

5. Place the prepared mass in a large bowl and cover it with a towel. Place in a warm place for 1 hour. During this time, if fresh yeast was used, the mass should double in volume.

6. Grease a baking sheet with oil. Divide the risen dough into two parts. Form a base, place the filling on it and bake until done.


Let me remind you that the traditional Margarita is filled with tomatoes, mozzarella and Parmesan cheese, olive oil and fresh basil leaves.

And again I want to send you to mine. There I have a very interesting recipe from the world famous chef Jamie Oliver. The good thing about this recipe is that you can make the dough in advance, freeze it in the freezer, and then use it as needed.

Puff pastry

In addition to the above recipes, the dough can also be puff pastry, which in turn can also be made with yeast or without yeast. People often ask which one is better to use for this? And there is no clear opinion on that question - as many people, so many opinions!

Basically, it is prepared from ready-made store-bought analogues. Since preparing it at home is far from a quick process. And when there is a pack of ready-made ones in the refrigerator, you can bake it quite quickly.

Let's figure out what the difference is between yeast and yeast-free puff pastry.

There are a lot of layers in yeast-free - up to 140 pieces, with oil between them. Because of this, it is softer, but also very high in calories.

In yeast, there are much fewer layers, about 30. Therefore, it is somewhat dry and not so greasy. But it rises more strongly during baking, and it cannot be otherwise, because it contains yeast.

Therefore, the yeast version is used to prepare sweet fillings, and the yeast-free version for savory ones.

That's what the experts say. But they often cook without even knowing these features. Since it can be difficult to determine by taste which of them was used in preparation.


There are some simple rules for preparing flour products from puff pastry.

  • It should be defrosted at room temperature or in the refrigerator
  • Under no circumstances should you defrost it in the microwave, otherwise the butter in the layers will melt ahead of time and the baked goods will not rise, and the dough will lose its structure and tear. And the finished products will not be tasty.
  • When baking pizza or other products, do not open the oven door and make sure it is closed tightly.
  • When baking, it is important to maintain time. If the products brown too much, this will give them a bitter, unpleasant taste.
  • Pizza should usually be baked on the second rack from the bottom so that it is well baked on the bottom and does not brown too much on top.

Sometimes it is also prepared from shortcrust pastry. Especially its sweet versions. I will not describe these recipes here, since a good article on this topic has already been written on this topic. Therefore, if you are interested, then follow the link and there you will find

And that’s probably all for today. I hope that you will find today's article useful and thanks to it you will always be able to prepare any dough for a delicious Italian dish.

And for those who are preparing it today...

Bon appetit!

How to make delicious and easy pizza dough at home? Yeast or without yeast, with water, milk or kefir? Pizza dough recipes are as varied as the pizza itself. Pizza lovers give preference to one recipe or another depending on their culinary preferences, but at the same time everyone wants their homemade pizza, like in an Italian pizzeria, thin and soft, or vice versa with a crispy crust.

DoughVed has collected for you 11 of the best pizza dough recipes for every taste. We are sure that everyone will find a simple and tasty way to prepare dough for the most popular Italian dish to their liking, learn how to bake delicious pizza and how to make pizza dough correctly.

The national Italian dish is pizza, which is an open pie or flatbread with various fillings, primarily tomatoes and mozzarella cheese. The term “pizza” first appears in texts of the 20th century, although the ancestors of pizza - flatbread with cheese - existed in Ancient Greek cuisine.

The invention of modern pizza is attributed to Naples cooks of the late 18th and early 19th centuries. Since then, hundreds, if not thousands, of ways to make pizza and dough have been invented. Today we will talk about 4 yeast and 7 yeast-free dough recipes, the intricacies and secrets of making homemade pizza like in an Italian pizzeria, and we will also tell you how you can freeze the remaining dough for future use.

How to make dough for homemade pizza: preparation rules

Which dough to choose for making pizza at home? The classic Italian version and the simplest pizza dough is a yeast base on water without eggs, but it is not at all necessary to adhere to the traditional technique. In home cooking, pizza dough is prepared without yeast, with kefir, milk or sour cream, with mayonnaise or even beer. Make fluffy, crispy pizza dough or thin and soft, like in a pizzeria - decide for yourself.

Read:– three recipes for fluffy and soft puff pastry pizza.

Regardless of which recipe you choose, the pizza dough should be springy and soft during kneading (unless, of course, it is a liquid dough), pliable and easy to handle. If you add too much flour during kneading so that it does not stick to your hands, the desired consistency will disappear.

DoughVed advises. The best way out in this situation is not to add flour when kneading, but to lubricate your hands with vegetable oil.

When it comes to actually baking real Italian pizza, the two most important conditions are high temperature and minimal toppings. It’s not for nothing that Italian pizzaiolo masters prepare pizza in special wood-burning ovens. In a traditional Pompeian oven, the temperature is so high that it cooks pizza in just 90 seconds.

Avid pizza lovers should consider purchasing a special wood-burning or gas pizza oven - such an oven will have to be installed in the backyard of a country or private house - or consider purchasing a portable electric mini-oven, which is suitable for indoor use, including in an apartment.

If you don't have an oven, preheat the oven to maximum, the higher the temperature, the better. For example, at 260 o C in just 5-10 minutes, at 220 o C - in 10-15 minutes. For the same reason, place a baking sheet or a special stone for baking pizza in the oven in advance so that it has time to warm up, and transfer the pizza to an already hot surface.

The more toppings on the pizza, the longer the cooking time, the wetter the finished baked goods will be - not at all the result that you would like to achieve from making homemade pizza. Limit yourself to a thin layer of your favorite filling and a small amount of good cheese.


Yeast pizza dough quick

10 minutes to prepare

5 minutes to prepare

270 kcal per 100 g

A classic recipe for instant yeast pizza dough with step-by-step photographs.

From the specified amount of ingredients, approximately 450-500 g of finished dough is obtained, which is enough to bake one large pizza or two medium pizzas with a diameter of about 25 cm.

Yeast pizza dough can be frozen and stored in the freezer for up to three months.

Ingredients

  • dry instant yeast – 1 tsp;
  • warm water (not hot) - three quarters of a glass;
  • wheat flour – 2 cups;
  • salt – 1.5 tsp.

Preparation

  1. Let's prepare the necessary ingredients: yeast, warm water, flour and salt. Dissolve the yeast in water: pour water into the mixing bowl or large bowl, sprinkle the yeast evenly into the water and leave until it dissolves.
  2. Add flour and salt to the water with yeast, stir with a rubber spatula. At this point the dough should begin to clump together into mealy clumps.
  3. Knead using a dough mixer or by hand on a floured cutting board for 5-8 minutes, until the dough forms a smooth, slightly sticky ball that springs back when pressed with a finger. If the dough sticks too much to the dough mixer bowl or hands, add a little more flour, but no more than 1 tbsp. at a time.
  4. Option 1: We make pizza right away. If time is limited, use quick yeast pizza dough immediately after kneading. The finished baked goods will be thin, with a crispy base.
  5. Option 2: Let the dough rise. If we plan to make pizza on the same day, and we have free time, grease a bowl with vegetable oil, put the dough there, cover with cling film and leave to increase in volume at room temperature for 1-1.5 hours.
  6. Option 3: make the base in advance. If we bake pizza in the next few days, cover the bowl with the dough and put it in the refrigerator. If you have time, you can let the dough rise for at least half an hour before putting it in the refrigerator, although you can skip this step.
  7. If the dough was in the refrigerator, take it out and let it warm to room temperature. Meanwhile, preheat the oven as high as possible. Place a pizza stone or a thick baking tray with low sides in the lower third part of the oven.
  8. Divide the dough in half, roll out or level each half into a circle with a diameter of approximately 25 cm. Transfer to baking paper, cover with a quarter cup of sauce, cheese and filling to taste. Carefully transfer the pizza to a baking sheet or stone and bake until golden brown and the cheese is melted. Baking time depends on the oven temperature and how thin or thick the base is rolled out.
  9. Cool the pizza slightly and serve immediately. Cover the other half of the dough with sauce, cheese and filling and place in the oven.

Thin and soft pizza dough just like in a pizzeria

Pizza dough, soft and thin, like in a pizzeria, is prepared with yeast, but has a number of subtleties of preparation. For this recipe, you should always use only premium wheat flour, with a high content, which gives the dough its soft texture.

A quicker option is to let the dough rise in a warm place for half an hour, although the ideal solution is to put it in the refrigerator for 12-24 hours or even more. This method slows down the fermentation of the dough, and the thin and soft pizza base turns out much tastier.

From the specified amount of products one pizza with a diameter of 30-35 cm is obtained.

Ingredients

  • warm water (about 45 o C) – two-thirds of a glass;
  • sugar – 1 tsp;
  • dry instant yeast or raw (pressed) - 1 tsp. without slide;
  • wheat flour - 1 cup and three quarters;
  • salt – 0.5 tsp;
  • olive oil;
  • corn starch – 1 tbsp.

Preparation

  1. In a small bowl, combine sugar and warm water. Stir until the sugar dissolves. Sprinkle the yeast evenly over the surface of the water, mix and leave for 5-10 minutes until foam forms.
  2. Place flour and salt in a medium bowl. Pour in water with yeast. Stir until a soft dough forms.
  3. Transfer to a floured surface and knead for 5 minutes or until the dough is smooth and elastic. If necessary, add 1 tbsp. flour at a time.
  4. Form into a ball and place in a greased bowl, turning several times to coat the dough completely with oil. Cover the bowl with a towel or cling film and leave warm until doubled in volume, about 30 minutes, or in the refrigerator for at least 12-24 hours.
  5. Place the dough on a floured work surface and knead for 2 minutes. Using your palms, flatten it into a disk approximately 18 cm in diameter. Leave for 2-3 minutes.
  6. We stretch the base a little more with our hands, and again leave it alone for 2-3 minutes. We repeat the procedure several times until the base has a diameter of 30-35 cm.
  7. Grease a baking dish of suitable size with oil and sprinkle with starch. Spread the sauce and filling onto the base and carefully transfer it into the pan. Bake on the lower rack of the oven at high temperature until done.

Don't add too much sauce - real pizzeria pizza shouldn't be soggy.

Recipe for pizza dough in a bread machine

Yeast pizza dough in a bread machine is probably the easiest way to make a classic Italian base. The bread machine will do all the work of kneading the dough for you. Panasonic, Redmond and Mulinex make the whole process of making pizza at home much easier, LG and Kenwood do just as well.

DoughVed advises. The names of the required programs may differ from model to model: carefully read the instructions for your bread maker.

Ingredients for 500 g dough

  • water - two thirds of a glass;
  • vegetable oil – 4 tsp;
  • salt – 0.5 tsp;
  • bread or wheat flour - 2 cups;
  • dry instant yeast - 1.5 tsp;
  • corn starch – 1 tbsp.

Proportions for 700 g dough

  1. Add water, vegetable oil, salt, flour and yeast to the bread machine bowl in the order indicated or as recommended by the bread machine manufacturer in the included instructions.
  2. We set the bread machine to the “Pizza” (Panasonic, Mulinex, Kenwood) or “Dough” (Redmond, LG) mode. The required program may have a different name, depending on the model of the bread machine: “Pizza dough”, “Yeast dough”.
  3. When the bread machine has completed the program, remove the dough and knead it lightly on a floured surface. For each pizza, grease the pan and sprinkle with starch. Place the dough into the pan and cover with fillings to taste.
  4. Bake for 15-20 minutes at 220°C or until the base is golden brown and the cheese begins to melt and form bubbles.

  • Mexican style: Mix 2-3 tbsp with flour. corn starch and 1 tbsp. Mexican spice mix, and also omit the salt from the recipe. Top with spicy tomato sauce, browned ground beef, onions, bell peppers and cheddar cheese.

How to freeze dough

Many pizza dough recipes are designed to make two or even three open pies - this is quite convenient, but not always suitable for a small family. To avoid eating the same pizza for a week in a row, you can freeze the dough.

You can freeze absolutely any dough, with the exception of liquid dough - yeast dough must first be allowed to rise, and then divided into portions sufficient to prepare 1 pizza. Such preparations can be stored in the freezer for up to three months - on the eve of the day of preparation, transfer one portion from the freezer to the refrigerator and leave overnight.

What you will need

  • fully prepared dough (if it is yeast, you need to let it rise first) in any quantity;
  • olive oil;
  • parchment or baking paper;
  • bags for freezing food.

Instructions

  1. Knead the dough according to the chosen recipe. Form into separate balls, large enough to make 1 pizza.
  2. Place on paper (this is optional, but it’s easier to work with) and cover each ball with a thin layer of olive oil on all sides.
  3. Place the ball in a freezer bag, close the plastic zipper and release all the air from the bag. Place in the freezer and store for no more than three months.

Before use, just place one bag in the refrigerator for 12 hours, then remove the dough from the bag and leave to warm up at room temperature for half an hour.

Homemade pizza dough recipe without yeast

There is a misconception that only the toppings affect the final taste of pizza. Putting the same ingredients on a pizza with a different dough will result in completely different dishes. It is this flavor accent that can be added to the dough, which will certainly affect the final result.

The easiest pizza dough is yeast-free dough. This cooking option is used by chefs from the homeland of pizza – Italy. This type of dough takes much less time to bake than yeast dough, and the flatbread acquires a light, crispy texture.

Recipes for thin dough for homemade pizza

The recipe for “your” most delicious pizza dough can only be determined by trying many of its varieties.

Pizza dough with milk

Components:

  • 1 tbsp wheat flour
  • 1 egg
  • 1/4 cup warm milk
  • 1 tbsp sunflower oil
  • 0.5 tsp salt.

Preparation:

  • Combine salt and flour.
  • In a separate container, smooth out the eggs, milk and butter.
  • Then gradually pour the liquid egg mixture into the flour, stirring continuously.
  • When the dough reaches a sticky consistency, start kneading it, adding flour if necessary.
  • The dough should become smooth, place it in a bowl and cover with a clean cloth for about ten minutes.
  • Roll out the dough thin using a rolling pin. To do this, sprinkle the table with flour in advance.

Pizza dough using olive oil

Ingredients:

  • 1 tbsp wheat flour
  • 1/4 cup warm water
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 0.5 tbsp baking powder or regular soda
  • 0.5 tsp salt.

Preparation:

  • Sift the flour through a sieve and combine with all the dry ingredients.
  • Gradually add water, and then olive oil.
  • Knead the dough until elastic. This will take about ten minutes.
  • Form the dough into a ball and then roll it out to the desired size.

There are a huge number of yeast-free dough options. This can be the most delicate dough, kneaded with sour cream or with the addition of cottage cheese. You can add airiness to the dough by adding fermented milk products, beer, or mineral water.

Pizza dough like in a pizzeria

In a pizzeria, pizza dough is crispy and thinly rolled out, but at home, on the contrary, it is often fluffy. But what if you want to make pizza at home, like in a pizzeria? Today's ovens are in no way inferior to the professional units that food industry establishments are equipped with. Therefore, it comes down to the most important thing - the test.

So, the main points for preparing thin dough:

Proper rolling out plays an important role in preparing thin dough. The basis for the dough is yeast, and its components can vary depending on the availability of such in the housewife’s kitchen arsenal.

To get classic pizza, stock up on:

  • slightly warmed water – 200 ml
  • dry yeast – 1.5 tsp
  • granulated sugar – 1.5 tsp
  • salt – 0.5 tsp
  • flour - 300 gr
  • vegetable oil 2 tbsp

  1. Make a dough. To do this, in a separate container, mix yeast, sugar, salt and dissolve a tablespoon of flour in warm water.
  2. Cover the dough with a clean towel and leave to rise for 20-30 minutes. The fermentation process will begin, and the emulsion of the ingredients will become foam. This will be the signal to start kneading.
  3. In a separate bowl, add all the remaining ingredients to the dough and knead the dough. The main thing is not to “fill” the dough with flour too much; it should turn out elastic, but not tight, and not stick to your hands.
  4. The number of ingredients in the recipe is calculated for two thin pizzas. The most important moment has come - roll out the thin dough. Divide it into two parts and roll it out using a rolling pin.

In the homeland of pizza - Italy, the dough for its base is not rolled out with a rolling pin, it is formed with finger bones, and rolled many times on the palms. This makes it thin in the middle and thicker at the edges.

When the final thickness of the dough suits you, brush its surface with sauce and start making the filling.

How to make homemade pizza?
