Description
A simple and effective recipe for creating homemade pizza dough that is chewy and delicious.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 and 1/2 cups (300 g) bread flour, sifted
- 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon instant dry yeast
- 3/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon (195 ml) warm water
- Olive Oil (for greasing)
Instructions
- Mix the dry ingredients: In a standing mixer, combine the flour, yeast, sugar, and salt.
- Add water: Attach the dough hook and pour in the warm water. Mix on low speed for 2-3 minutes until the dough comes together.
- Knead the dough: Increase speed to low-medium and knead for 7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Let the dough rise: Transfer to an oiled bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let rise in a warm place for 1-2 hours or until doubled in size.
- Prepare for shaping: Punch down the risen dough and it’s ready to shape into desired pizza forms.
Notes
Using warm water around 110°F (43°C) is crucial for activating yeast. Kneading properly develops gluten for elasticity.
