Homemade Pizza
It’s Friday today, which means it’s pizza night.
All you need for a great homemade pizza dough is:
- Flour
- Instant dry yeast
- Water
- Salt and oil
I like using 70-75% hydration on my pizza doughs. That means that if I’m using 1kg of four, I’ll use around 700 grams of water.
Usually for four people I’ll use half a kg of flour (500gr), and 350gr of water.
Keep in mind the less water, the less sticky the dough.
It all depends on how comfortable you are working with dough.
This is what I did today
- 500 gr flour
- 350 gr water
- 7 gr instant yeast (1 packet)
I mixed everything until it was a nice dough (see picture). It was still quite sticky, but I’m okay with that. It’ll give us a lighter and more crispy result.
I let that rise for about two and a half hours, because I had the time. Usually an hour is fine.
I always put a layer of oil and salt on whatever baking tray I’m using (it’s the reason I don’t put salt in the dough itself).
Then it’s as easy as extending the dough (roller or hands, that’s your choice), adding your favorite toppings and baking at around 220°C for about 20 minutes.
Tips and topping suggestions in the replies.
Happy pizza night! 🍕🥰
