Pizza is a universal culinary invention that is loved by both adults and children. The popularity of the dish is explained by the fact that the most varied fillings imaginable are used in its preparation. The options are also able to satisfy the most capricious lovers of this dish. In order to enjoy the taste of aromatic pizza with your favorite toppings, you don’t have to visit a pizzeria or cafe. Baking pizza at home will bring you pleasure and interesting preparation.

Many lovers of this exquisite Italian dish are sure that restaurant chefs have special secrets of preparing dough, so their creations are culinary masterpieces that cannot be replicated at home. This is a common misconception; it’s not at all difficult to make your own delicious pizza from tender and thin dough.

Ingredients

• Wheat flour - 300 g. (130 g of flour is placed in a faceted glass with a volume of 200 ml).
• Dry yeast - 6 g. (One teaspoon contains 3 g of dry yeast without a slide).
• Water – 150ml.
• Rock salt 5 g (1/2 teaspoon).
• Vegetable (olive oil is possible) oil: 1.5-2 tablespoons.

IMPORTANT. The best result will be achieved when using premium flour.

Preparation

1. The dough will turn out without lumps if you sift the flour first. Many people ignore this minor point, but it is very important to get the best results.
2. Mix the sifted flour with yeast and salt. The water needs to be warmed up a little, since in a cold environment dry yeast works slowly and the base can turn out dense.
3. Knead the dough with the addition of vegetable oil. When it becomes elastic and manageable, shape into a ball and set aside for 15 minutes.
4. During this time, any chosen filling is prepared.
5. From this amount of products you will get two round pizzas with a diameter of 30 cm, or one large pizza on a baking sheet. The dough with filling is baked at a temperature of 220-240 degrees for 15-20 minutes.

REFERENCE. To make the dough soft, tender and well baked, you cannot use iodized salt. In cooking, only rock salt is used when preparing dishes.

How to use the remainder?

If there is any dough left after making pizza, there are many interesting recipes for using it. It’s even better if a piece of dough remains, thanks to this you will get a lot of different dishes without much time investment. Detailed recipe variations can be found.

A little skill and very soon your pizza, prepared with your own hands, will surpass the work of professionals in taste.

Pizza is a traditional Italian dish that has long won the hearts of adults and children thanks to its wonderful taste.

The variety of recipes allows you to prepare an almost unlimited number of delicious and varied pizza options, so its preparation turns into real creativity. You can cook absolutely any pizza to your taste, which is what made it one of the most popular dishes in the world.

The secret of good and tasty pizza lies in its base. Pizza dough can be anything: yeast, puff pastry, unleavened, egg, curd - it all depends on your taste. Some people like pizza with a thin, crispy base, while others like it fluffy and thick.

You can make pizza from any dough, as long as it goes well with the filling. At the same time, homemade pizza dough is much tastier than store-bought semi-finished crusts and it is not at all difficult to prepare.

Yeast pizza dough (recipe)

Pizza with yeast dough cooks quite quickly and turns out very filling and tasty.

To prepare you will need 2 tablespoons of yeast, a glass of warm water, a teaspoon of salt, a pinch of sugar, 3 cups of wheat flour. Heat a bowl, put the yeast in it and fill it with warm water. Add sugar to them and wait 5-10 minutes until the yeast starts to foam.

Now add salt and 1 cup of flour to the yeast and, stirring thoroughly, add another 1 cup of flour. Place the resulting dough on a table sprinkled with flour and start kneading it, gradually adding the remaining flour to it. Knead for 8-10 minutes until the dough becomes elastic.

Form it into a ball and place it in a bowl greased with vegetable oil. Cover it with a damp towel and leave in a warm place for 40 minutes. When the dough has risen, knead it for another 1-2 minutes and roll it out. This dough will make 1 thick or 2 thin pizzas. Roll out the dough with a rolling pin to a thickness of 5-7 mm and place in the mold. Now you can add any filling.

Puff pastry for pizza (recipe)

Puff pastry pizza is crispy on the outside, but soft and tender on the inside. Many people prefer this type of pizza, but preparing puff pastry is a rather labor-intensive process. To prepare the dough you will need 2 cups of flour, 0.5 cups of cold water, 250 g of butter, yolk, citric acid and salt.

Mix all the ingredients except the oil and knead the dough, then put it in a cold place for half an hour. Mix butter with 3 tablespoons of flour, roll out into a square shape and put in a cool place.

Take out the chilled dough, roll it out and put butter in the center. Then fold the edges of the dough over and roll it out, fold it in half and roll it out again. Repeat this procedure as many times as possible, constantly folding and rolling the dough.

Unleavened unleavened pizza dough (recipe)

The main advantage of this dough is that it prepares quickly and is better preserved. You will need 2 eggs, 2 tablespoons of margarine, a glass of sour cream, a tablespoon of sugar, half a teaspoon of salt, 3 cups of flour.

Pour the flour onto the table in the shape of a mound, make a depression in the center and put margarine, eggs, sour cream, salt, sugar there and knead the dough. Roll it into a ball, cover with a towel and refrigerate for half an hour.

Egg pizza dough (recipe)

This elastic dough is perfect for making pizza. To prepare you will need 500 g of flour, 4 eggs, 1 tablespoon of dry yeast, 4 tablespoons of butter, half a glass of warm water, salt.

Pour the flour into a mound and place the eggs, softened butter and yeast diluted in warm water into the depression. Add salt and mix thoroughly until smooth. Knead the dough for about 10 minutes, then cover with a towel and put in a warm place for 1 hour.

Curd dough for pizza (recipe)

Pizza made with curd dough has a unique, unusual taste that you will definitely like. To prepare this dough, take 1 cup of flour, 1 egg, 125 g of low-fat cottage cheese, 3 tablespoons of vegetable oil and a teaspoon of salt.

Mix cottage cheese, egg, salt and olive oil thoroughly with a mixer. Then gradually add the curd mass to the flour, kneading the dough until the dough becomes elastic. Roll out the dough and place on a baking sheet.

For quite a long time I tried to achieve the perfect pizza dough so that it works thin and crispy like in a real Italian pizzeria. And finally, it seems to me, I have found the right recipe. Dough It’s quite simple to make; don’t be alarmed by the presence of yeast in the ingredients, because... This is a straight yeast dough, and it’s quite difficult to do anything wrong here, all the ingredients are simply mixed.

As with all Italian recipes, the key to success is perfect pizza bases- quality ingredients. Take clean drinking water, no need to use chlorinated tap water, take high-quality premium flour, and, of course, I would not replace olive oil with sunflower oil. But, as always, the final decision is up to you, I only advise how to do it better, in my opinion.

From the specified amount of ingredients you get 3 pizza bases, each with a diameter of approximately 30-32 cm, this is simply the maximum size that fits on my baking sheet. If you only need one base, divide all the ingredients by 3; if you need two, remember your school math lessons. You can store it in the freezer, but it tastes much better fresh.

Ingredients

• water 250 ml
• flour 500 g
• live yeast 25 g (or 7 g dry)
• olive oil 20 g
• sugar 5 g (1/2 teaspoon)
• salt 5 g (1/2 teaspoon)

Preparation

Pour slightly warm water (about 30°C) into a large, wide container in which it will be convenient to knead the dough. The water should not be cold, but it should not be hot either, because at 50°C yeast stops its activity. Place the yeast in the water and stir until it is completely dissolved.

Add sugar and salt.

Pour in the olive oil and stir until the salt and sugar are completely dissolved.

We sift the flour through a sieve; this will not only help avoid unnecessary impurities getting into the dough, but will also enrich the flour with oxygen, which will undoubtedly improve our dough. Also, be careful, you may need a little more or a little less amount of flour than indicated in the ingredients, unfortunately, it’s impossible to say for sure here, because... different flours have different properties. If it helps someone, I use “Predportovaya” flour (possibly sold only in St. Petersburg) or “Makfa” flour, and put exactly 500 g.

Now the most important thing is to knead our dough well. This usually takes about 10 minutes. As a result, the dough should completely stop sticking to your hands and bowl, but remain soft and elastic. If you have been kneading for quite a long time, and the dough still sticks strongly to your hands, you may need to add a little more flour; if, on the contrary, the dough has become very stiff, add a little water and knead well again.

This is what a well-kneaded dough looks like.

Now we divide the dough into three equal parts, if you have scales, weigh them, for me each part weighs about 270 g, one part is one pizza base. Roll each part into a ball, put it in a plastic bag and leave in a warm place for half an hour. If you don’t plan to make 3 pizzas at once, then put the dough you don’t need now in the refrigerator, it will rise there too, but not so quickly. During this time, you can make and prepare the remaining ingredients for your pizza.

After half an hour, we take the dough out of the bag; it has increased slightly in volume. I usually roll out the dough on parchment paper sprinkled with flour, and bake on it, because... It is very difficult to transfer the rather thinly rolled dough onto a baking sheet so that it does not deform; for this you need a special large pizza shovel, like in pizzerias, but I don’t have one.

Now a little more about rolling out the dough. Of course, the Italians will tell you that pizza dough should never be rolled out with a rolling pin, it must be stretched with your hands without touching the edges of the dough, this is how the edge of the pizza is formed. You also need to turn the dough in your hands in different ways, twist it, including over your head, and then, of course, it will turn out perfect. If you want to try stretching the dough with your hands, give it a try. I experimented with this a lot and realized that in order to qualitatively stretch the dough to such a size with your hands so that it is uniform in thickness, you need to do this every day several times a day, working in a pizzeria. If you are good at this, you are a pizza master, but for me it takes too much time, and the result is not ideal. That's why I roll out the dough with a rolling pin, but let's not tell the Italians about this.

So, sprinkle the parchment with a little flour.

Roll out the dough to a thickness of 2-3 mm, trying to ensure that it is rolled out evenly and has a round shape. If you can’t roll out an even circle, place a large plate or dish and simply cut off any bumps along it. But I don’t like to do this, because it’s not clear where to put the scraps and where to get a plate of such large sizes. So we're just trying to roll out an even circle - it's not very difficult.

For my baking sheet, I roll out a circle of 34-36 cm. We bend the edges 2-3 cm inward and seal them well so that they do not come off during baking - this is how we will make sides for our pizza, I spotted this method in one of the pizzerias. As a result, we get a pizza with a diameter of 30-32 cm.

Place the sauce you like on the base (you can make it according to this recipe).

Distribute the sauce evenly over the base. You can drizzle a little olive oil on top.

Together with the parchment, transfer the dough to a baking sheet. Preheat the oven to maximum temperature (250-270°C), bake for 5-10 minutes until it is well browned on the bottom.

We bake the crust separately to ensure that the dough is crispy and well baked. After all, if we put the filling on the raw dough and put it in the oven, the cheese will already begin to burn, but the dough will not yet be fried to a crispy crust. Also, the sauce will remain liquid inside, and the topping may slide off the finished pizza, but we don’t want that, do we? If you still doubt that the pizza base needs to be baked in advance, remember that pizzas are baked in ovens at 350-400°C, and no oven will give us such a temperature, so we have to get out.

Place the ingredients on the baked base, according to your wishes or recipe, and bake, now on the upper level of the oven. So there you have it, the perfect base for your perfect pizza! Using this base you can prepare, or any other to your taste.

Having studied these simple recipes, you will always be fully prepared for the unexpected arrival of guests and, perhaps, even forget the way to the pizzeria, because you can now prepare incomparable homemade dough extremely quickly and with minimal effort. Baking a delicious pizza with sausage, ham, mushrooms, seafood, fish, cheese, vegetables or any other topping will take you no more than an hour (option with yeast), and sometimes - just imagine! – only 10 minutes (with kefir, mayonnaise or sour cream). It's simply impossible to go faster!

In terms of taste, this dough almost does not lose, and in some ways it even wins over the classics. The yeast-free version of pizza turns out to be more tender, soft, “fluffy” and at the same time it lacks the specific taste and aroma of yeast.

There is also an accelerated method for preparing yeast dough if you like to cook pizza with it. Its secret is simple: the yeast fungus is activated in a sweet, warm environment (in water with honey), and then flour is gradually mixed in. Everything is extremely simple - the result will please you!

How to prepare pizza dough quickly and amazingly tasty - basic principles and rules

1. Traditional Italian dough, which is rightfully considered the most delicious in the world, is prepared with the addition of extra virgin olive oil. Its special aroma and pleasant taste will make the pizza crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.
2. When adding salt to the dough, it is important to maintain proportions. If you put in too much, it won't rise because the yeast will die in too salty an environment. And if you add too little, it will stick to your palms and spread, making it difficult to achieve an elastic structure.
3. You can also add some spices - basil, oregano, thyme, paprika, a mixture of Provencal or Mediterranean herbs.
4. Knead the dough with your hands for at least 10 minutes. Then it will become soft and elastic, thanks to the gluten released from the flour.
5. You should not add a lot of flour at the kneading stage; it is better to sprinkle a small amount on the table and knead the dough on it. If you use too much flour, the pizza will turn out tough.
6. Italians claim that pizza will turn out tastier and softer if you do not roll out the dough, but carefully stretch it from the center to the edges into a thin flatbread.
7. The flour must be sifted - this will make the pizza more tender and airy.
8. For quick options for preparing dough for yeast-free pizza, thick fermented milk products are usually used - kefir, sour cream, natural yogurt.
9. To prevent the crust from getting soggy under too juicy filling, it should be brushed with a thin layer of olive oil before baking in the oven.
10. It is better not to freeze the dough for future use; pizza from it will no longer be as tasty as from a fresh portion.

Delicious instant pizza dough in the oven

Components:

• high-quality flour – 500 g;
• water (purified) – 300 ml;
• vegetable oil – 50 ml;
• fast-acting (instant) yeast – 10 g;
• granulated sugar – 0.5 tsp;
• salt (sea or rock) – a pinch.

How to do:

1. Pour warm water into a deep bowl, add salt, sugar and yeast (active!). Stir until smooth.
2. Pour 3-4 tablespoons of flour into the resulting liquid, mix well, breaking up any lumps.
3. After this, add about 35 ml of oil and stir with a whisk.
4. Start adding flour in small portions. When the dough becomes thick, but not stiff (like pancakes), you need to leave it at room temperature for 7-10 minutes to activate the yeast. The mass will grow in volume, and large bubbles will begin to appear on its surface.
5. After this, pour the remaining flour into the bowl and mix with a spoon.
6. When it becomes difficult to turn the spoon, place it on a cutting board. Pour the remaining oil onto the work surface and gradually stir it in. Form the dough into a ball, place it in a bowl and let rest for 20-30 minutes. After this you can bake the pizza.

Homemade pizza dough without yeast, exactly like in a pizzeria

List of required products:

• granulated sugar – 1 tsp;
• salt (fine or medium grind) – 1 tsp;

4. Sift flour (2 cups) into a wide bowl or directly onto the table, in a heap. Add baking powder there and mix well. Make a well in the center of the slide and gradually pour in the liquid mixture of oil, water and eggs, while stirring with a spoon or hands.
5. Knead the dough. If it sticks too much to your hands, add flour a little at a time (there is still 1 cup left) until it stops sticking. It is very important not to overuse flour because the pizza may turn out tough. Properly kneaded dough will be homogeneous, elastic and soft. Now you can divide it into several parts (2-3, depending on the desired diameter of the flatbread) and prepare pizza with your favorite toppings.

Mix with a spoon or, if more convenient, a whisk.
2. As soon as the liquid has mixed with the fat and the sugar and salt have dissolved, begin sifting the flour into the bowl.

4. When the mass becomes quite thick, begin to knead it with your hands, adding flour if necessary. The kneading should be quick - no more than 5 minutes, this is not a yeast dough that loves the warmth of your hands. After this, collect the mass, put it under film and let it rest for 5-10 minutes.

You need to knead for at least 5, and preferably 10-12 minutes.
5. The dough will become elastic, soft and quite dense. Form it into a ball, put it in a bowl, cover it with a damp (not wet!) towel and put it in a warm place for 30 minutes.
6. Knead the mass, knead for 2-3 minutes and put it back in a warm place for 10 minutes.
7. This quantity will yield 3-4 pizzas - very soft, surprisingly airy and incredibly tasty.

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.

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.
