Pizza is a staple of fancy restaurants and takeout alike. However, you can make a truly great restaurant quality pizza at home, as well without buying a fancy pizza oven. The crust is the hardest element to get right, and we all know that the crust is key for making a great pizza.

A great crust is the basis of a perfect pizza. So, a great homemade pizza has to hit the balance of a well-cooked crust and the right selected toppings. In general our preference on crust varies widely, some like their crust thick and chewy, others love them thin and crispy. The toppings can range from vegetables, fresh herbs, meats and fruits, to oil to tomato sauce.

Most of the recipes I tried were either too bland, too many yeast on, salty or je sais quoi. I often relied on store bough dough to make pizza, because it tested better than anything I could come up with. I really felt guilty for keep buying pizza I new I could make myself.

What you will need for my pizza dough

Flour: The best flour for pizza dough is ’00’ pizza flour or bread flour they are high on protein, but all-purpose flour will do. If you plan to impress your family and friends the 00 flour or bread flour.

Yeast: Instant yeast is my choice, because it helps the dough rise perfectly. I do not recommend it but can use rapid rise yeast.

Warm Water: The warm water going to help the dough rises fast, because yeast love warm environment.

Salt: The yeast feeds up on the salt, and the salt help bring up all the flavors by making the dough taste better.

Olive oil: The oil has a major role on the crust texture. It help keep the moist and tender inside. But you can use any kind of oil, I just love olive oil.

Sugar:

How to make this pizza dough

Step 1: Getting starting

Add warm water, dry yeast and sugar in a medium bowl and set aside. that allow the yeast to feed on the sugar and make the dough rise. In another bowl, combine flour, and salt.

Step 2: In the bowl containing the flour and salt, make a well in the center and add the yeast. Tip: If the yeast doesn’t foam, check the expiration date and water temperature (should be approximately 110 degrees F). Add the olive oil. Use a fork to pull the dry into the wet, then mix.

Step 3: When the dough starts to come together, get in there with your hands and knead it for a few minutes on a lightly floured board. Use the heel of your hand to push the dough down and forward. Give it a few turns. You’re done when the dough is a little tacky.

Step 4: Place the kneaded dough into the oiled bowl, cover with plastic wrap and let it rise in a warm spot until it doubles in size. Tip: Chart the progress of the rising dough by using a marker on the plastic wrap to circle the size of the ball of dough at the beginning of the process. It can take anywhere from 1 to 2 hours for the dough to rise, depending on the recipe and ambient temperature.

Step 5: Check to see If the Dough is done

If the dough leaves an indentation when poked, it’s ready.

Step 6: Divide the dough

Once the dough has risen properly, use a knife to divide it. The larger the piece, the bigger the pizza; the smaller portions are easier to handle at home. Form into balls for individual pizzas, and place on a plate. Cover with a damp cloth. Let the balls of dough rest until you poke them and see an indentation.

Step 7: Shape the Dough

Sprinkle a pizza pan with a little semolina for good separation and a nutty crunch. Place a ball of dough in the center of the pan and spread it out, using a rolling pin or your hands. Spin it. Pull the dough to the edges of the pan to thin out the center. Add some more semolina for better separation. Make sure the thickness is even.

Step 8: Top the Pizza and Bake

Top the spread dough with your favorite ingredients and bake in a 500-degree F oven for approximately 10 minutes. Perfect pizza every time.
