Pizza dough is one of those things that seems complex, but really it is not that difficult. For big Pizza dough you only need six basic ingredients. Flour, water, yeast, salt, sugar and olive oil.
No need to use fancy kinds of flour. Both everyday all-purpose flour and bread flour work well. Some dough can be mixed in a simple bowl with no stand blender needed, although you can use one if you want.
How to Make Pizza Dough
The first stage is setting up the yeast. It means to mix warm water with sugar and yeast then leave that to rest for around ten minutes, until it becomes bubbly and foaming. The water must be only warm, not too warm.
That is important, because if the dough does not rise correctly, the whole thing can fall apart during the cook.
Kneading does not need a long time. Some recipes need almost no kneading. The method without kneading relies on natural enzymes, that over time form the gluten net, which results in airy bread without too much work.
After the mixing, the dough simply needs one rise. Some recipes say only 30 minutes for the rise, while others suggest up to 90 minutes. If you grease the dough balls with oil and cover them with plastic wrap before leaving them to rest at room temperature for two hours, the dough becomes airy and easy to work with.
Freezing the dough for cold rising simply improves it. Ideally, you prepare the Pizza dough at least two days before and keep it in the fridge. Dough risen for 48 hours in cold builds richer taste and is more easily stretched.
Even so, if the dough stays two long, the gluten weakens and the dough really flattens and flows.
Getting the right weight of the dough is key. For a 10-inch pizza, around 180 grams works. A 12-inch pizza needs about 260 grams.
For 14 inches, roughly 350 grams is the perfect amount. For pizzas with thin crust, between 125 and 175 grams for one serving works as a good start.
The water content has big effect on the finish of the crust. A calculator for ratios of dough is really useful, because it removes the need of wild guesses to balance flour, water, yeast and salt. It adjusts the amounts based on the wanted size and level of water content.
A pizza stone really changes the result. It gives more strong heat and more crisp crust. Stretching the dough very thin and cooking it at high heat is a solid method.
For bread-like pizza, cook at 375 degrees for 20 to 25 minutes works well, and after that brush the crust with butter with garlic for added taste. A heated broiler at 550 degrees needs around 10 to 12 minutes for bread pizza or 9 to 10 minutes for hand-tossed on the stone. The dough balls can be kept in a bag for at least a month.
Simply move thefrozen ball to the fridge the night before the cook.
