1. Video - Pizza dough - classic

Ingredients:

• Flour - 3 cups without a slide (glass volume - 250 ml.)
• Water - 1 glass
• Honey - 1 tsp
• Instant yeast - 4 g.
• Salt - 1 tsp
• Olive oil - 1 tbsp

Cooking:

1. Sift the flour into a cup in which we will prepare the dough.

2. Pour a quarter of a glass of water into another glass. The water must be warm.

3. In a glass into which water was poured, add a teaspoon of honey and dry yeast. In fact, this yeast is added to flour. We will add them to honey water to activate them.

4. Set aside for 10-15 minutes, until a foam cap appears. Dilute a teaspoon of salt in the rest of the water. Due to the fact that we diluted the yeast in a honey solution, they are activated and the process of raising the dough will go very quickly.

5. We make a recess in the flour and pour salt water and diluted yeast into it.

6. Add a tablespoon of olive oil.

7. Knead the dough. Since flour is different everywhere, you may need a little more water. Have a glass of water nearby and add little by little. We needed a couple of spoons somewhere. The dough should be tight, but not dry.

8. Pour a little oil on the bottom of the cup in which we work with the dough and grease the bowl.

9. Knead the dough until smooth and homogeneous. The dough will be dense and not sticky.

10. Round the dough. Put in a greased bowl.

11. We close the dough with a damp towel, but not wet, i.e. it must be soaked and squeezed well. We send the dough to a warm place. I turn on the light bulb in the oven and put it there. And it gets warm in there. You can cover anything.

12. After 30 minutes, take out the dough. Look, it's already up. This is the result of the fact that good yeast in a honey solution was added to the dough.

13. Put the dough on the desktop, knead it and knead it for another 2-3 minutes. Then we round the dough again and put it in heat for another 10 minutes. Then it will be easier to divide it.

14. We divide the dough, look how bubbly it is, delicious inside of us.

15. From this amount of dough, you will get 4 pizzas with a diameter of about 24 cm. We round each part of the dough, for this we collect the edges of the dough towards the center, until a smooth surface is formed. We roll up the seam.

16. Cover the rolled dough with a damp towel and leave to rest for about 15 minutes more.

17. After 15 minutes, open the dough and first stretch it a little with your hands. Masters say that you need to stretch with your hands until you get a finished cake, but I think it will be more convenient for us to do this with a rolling pin.

18. We take one part of the dough, cover the rest with a wet towel and roll it with a rolling pin to a thin circle. Then we take the next one, and so on. Cover the rolled out dough with a damp towel.

Bake the dough

19. All our dough is completely ready for baking. Now everything is as usual, lay out the filling and bake. Put a piece of rolled dough on baking paper, slightly stretch with your hands and grease with olive oil. The oil will create a barrier between the filling, which we have quite moist, and the dough.

20. Spread the dough with tomato sauce.

21. Put some chopped onion, some bacon.

22. Spread diced mozzarella cheese, diced tomatoes.

23. Top with chopped olives and grated parmesan cheese.

24. Directly on paper, lay the pizza on a hot baking sheet.

25. At the very beginning, bake pizza in the lower part of the oven. Our dough cake should be baked, but the filling should not burn out.

26. Our cheese has melted, the bottom is baked, we put the baking sheet higher. Bake the pizza in the middle of the oven for the last 2 minutes.

In total, pizza is baked for about 5-8 minutes at a temperature of 230 ° -250 ° C.

I really like this recipe. The pizza dough is thin and soft. Preparing pretty quickly. It all takes a little over an hour.

The taste of the pizza is amazing. The pizza is ready. Beauties!

At home, it is rarely possible to cook such a flour mass, since our women do not have enough experience. The main mistake is a very thick or vice versa thin and “wooden” dough.

Such a dough can be yeast or unleavened. It all depends on what kind of pizza you prefer.

Milk base without yeast:

• Mix half a glass of cold milk with 2 eggs and 230 ml of olive oil
• No need to beat with a mixer or blender, use a whisk or fork
• Enter the milk mass into flour with salt, and knead a soft dough. Wrap it in a wet cloth and let it "rest" for 30 minutes
• Roll out a thin cake and prick it with a fork, this is necessary so that the dough passes air during baking.
• Put the filling and bake in the cabinet for 15 minutes

Cooking without adding yeast

Even if the culinary specialist did not have yeast at hand, this will not prevent him from pleasing his family with juicy fragrant pizza. Of the other ingredients will be used: 420 g of flour, a pinch of fine salt, 45 g of creamy margarine, 110 ml of ice water, a pinch of sugar.

2. The flour is sifted into a wide bowl, combined with quick yeast and granulated sugar. After thorough mixing, the dry ingredients are laid out in a pile, in the center of which heated water with oil and salt is poured.
3. The two types of components are mixed by hand until smooth. In a container generously dusted with flour, the dough is covered with a film and put into heat for proofing. For this, you can send it to an unheated oven with the light on.
4. When the mass grows about 2 times, it's time to roll out the dough for pizza.

It is important not to forget to make low sides on the base so that the sauce and filling do not leak out.

Puff yeast dough

Puff pastry pizza is especially tasty - crispy, thin, tender. And it is prepared very simply by using the following ingredients: raw egg, 2 tbsp. white flour, 1/3 tsp salt, half a standard pack of butter, 1 tbsp. granulated sugar, 1.5 tbsp. cow's milk, 25 g fresh yeast.

1. To begin with, fresh yeast, previously removed from the refrigerator, is diluted in slightly warmed milk.
2. Sugar is poured into the resulting mixture, an egg is poured, salt is added.
3. The flour is carefully sifted through a sieve. You may need to repeat this procedure several times.
4. Flour is sent to the milk mixture.
5. The dough is kneaded first with a spoon, then with your hands.
6. Lastly, liquid butter is sent to it.
7. The mass, kneaded until smooth, is left warm for 2.5-3 hours. During this time, it should significantly add in volume.
8. The risen dough is divided into 3 parts. Both roll out and stack on top of each other. The layer is folded 4 times. Again you need to roll it out and divide it into three pieces. The procedure is repeated at least 4-5 times.

Let's talk pizza dough, shall we?

The most common yeast dough for thin pizza

A classic of the genre, which in one interpretation or another is served in all textbooks on Italian cuisine, which is used by chefs in eminent restaurants and which is most often used in standard recipes. Pizza is a folk and simple food, and therefore should not be prepared technically difficult or problematic. What's more, it doesn't include ingredients that are hard to find, cost a lot of money, and can't be found in the corner store. The basic ingredients of a simple yeast pizza dough are water, yeast, flour, salt, and a little vegetable oil. Everything else is from the evil one.

Ingredients:

175 g flour;
125 ml of water;
1 tsp yeast;
1/4 tsp salt;
1 st. l. vegetable oil.

Dissolve yeast in warm water, add salt, oil. Gradually adding flour, knead a soft, not sticky, elastic dough.

Cover bowl with a tea towel and set aside in a warm place until doubled in size. After that, the dough can be kneaded and start molding the pizza.

The most common yeast dough for lush pizza

Pour dry yeast with warm water and wait until they start to “play”. After that, add salt, add vegetable oil (olive - ideal, sunflower - acceptable).

We leave it in a bowl covered with a towel for 1-1.5 hours before rising (the time depends on the air temperature in the room and the quality of the products). After doubling the dough, we cheat and proceed to collect the pizza.

Pizza dough without yeast

Many housewives, for one reason or another, are looking for a good recipe for yeast-free pizza dough. Some do not perceive yeast as a healthy food at all, this product is contraindicated for others, and still others simply do not have enough patience and time to wait for the yeast dough to rise. Exit - dough without yeast. Crispy, dry, thin and very tasty.

2 cups of flour;
0.5 cups of milk;
1/2 tsp salt;
1/2 tsp soda;

Knead the dough for at least 10 minutes - you should get a smooth, shiny, even lump, very pleasant to the touch. Cover the dough with cling film and let it rest for 15 minutes. After that, you can work with the test.

Kefir pizza dough recipe

Kefir dough is loved by those who prefer quick pizza preparation options - no need to knead for a long time, no need to wait for rise and proofing. Another significant plus of kefir dough is the banal disposal of leftovers: it often happens that a glass of kefir remains in the package, which no one wants to drink. The expiration date is about to expire, and on the way home, a new portion of fermented milk products is bought. Throwing away the leftovers just like that - the hand does not rise, which means that you need to come up with something that will allow you to use them without forcing your family to drink kefir that has stood in the refrigerator for several days. The way out is kefir dough for pizza, classic or, for example, as non-standard as.

Ingredients:

1 glass of kefir;

Mix flour, salt and soda.

In a separate bowl, mix vegetable oil, kefir and egg.

Gradually pour the dry mixture into the liquid mass and stir until a homogeneous sticky dough is obtained. You can’t knead it for a very long time - you will “drive out” all the air, and the dough will turn out to be “clogged” and tough. After all the ingredients are mixed, with your hands dipped in vegetable oil, spread the dough into a well-oiled form and spread evenly. Then you can work with the filling.

1/2 tsp salt;
1/2 tsp soda;
1.5 cups flour.

With wet hands, stretch the dough in all directions, achieving an even layer. Next, you can spread the filling.

Pizza from ready dough

An option for the lazy, busy, in a hurry and who hate to "play" with the dough, but who love to eat deliciously - pizza on purchased puff pastry, unleavened or yeast. Defrost, put on a baking sheet, distribute the filling and put in the oven - that's all. It cannot be said that with such manipulations you will get a culinary masterpiece, however, the fact that dinner will be much tastier than a store-bought semi-finished product can be said with full confidence.

5 tips for making delicious pizza dough:

1. It seems to many that the unfortunate half a spoonful of salt in the dough is not felt at all and is not felt, so you can just forget about them. Blasphemous mistake! Salt balances the taste of the dough, enhances what needs to be strengthened, so in no case should you count on the fact that the salinity of the finished dish will even out with the help of the filling and ignore the addition of salt to the dough.

1. Having stuffed your hand and trained, proceed to aerobatics - do not roll out the dough with a rolling pin, but gently stretch it with your hands. Pizzaiolo shows that prepare treats for you by beautifully tossing dough in the air are not only part of the cooking show. It is also a completely justified way to prepare the perfect pizza: it does not tear the delicate yeast fibers, and provides a soft and pleasant dough structure.

1. A common mistake that a generous Slavic soul makes when preparing pizza is a thick, thick layer of toppings. We conscientiously forget that we are not preparing an open pie, namely pizza, and we strive to put more toppings, believing that, since we are preparing for ourselves, there is nothing to be greedy. However, the reality turns out to be different - and the pizza does not come out quite the way it should turn out. Ideal option: both the filling and the amazingly tasty base must be felt in the finished dish. Do not forget about this, laying out the next time meat, tomatoes, olives, mushrooms, cheese and other delicacies on the dough.

1. Bake pizza only at high temperatures - a real Italian delicacy is cooked in a wood-fired oven, which provides a dry and very good heat. To get closer to a similar picture at home, set the temperature control in your oven to at least 220 degrees.

1. For the same reason as described above, it is worth spreading the dough not on a cold metal sheet, but on a well-heated surface. To do this, hold the baking sheet in the preheated oven for about 10 minutes, and only then transfer the dough onto it.

Good luck with your experiments and delicious pizza!
