Pizza is an Italian dish that has quite firmly entered our Russian life. Many housewives quite masterfully prepare it, no worse than Italian masters. Quite often, completely new cooking recipes appear, both for dough and toppings. The main thing, of course, is the preparation of the dough. The success of the dish depends on which pizza dough the topping recipe does not always matter.
But you shouldn’t discard the filling, although quite often everything that is in the refrigerator is used as the filling. Of course, these can be classic recipes, but basically every mistress has her own tricks.
So, I will give some examples of the preparation of this dish. And we will start with how to make pizza dough a recipe for one of the fastest ways to make dough, which can come in handy at a time when unexpected guests are already on the doorstep. This recipe will reduce the time to prepare the dough to a minimum.
You will need:
1 tbsp. water (serum), 3 tbsp. flour, 2 tbsp vegetable or olive oil, 1 sachet of quick dry yeast and 0.5 tsp. salt.
Cooking:
Flour (1 cup) must be mixed with dry yeast and add water (whey) preheated to 40 degrees, mix everything and get a batter. Then this dough must be salted and gradually adding the remaining flour to dominate the dough. When you knead all the dough to a homogeneous mass, add oil to it and continue vigorously kneading until the dough stops sticking to your hands and becomes smooth and uniform.
The dough is ready, it remains only to put it on a baking sheet, grease, put the filling and bake in the oven. In order for the dough to work out well, it is better to put on a baking sheet first baking paper, previously greased with oil. And of course, the dough prepared with love will turn out to be very tasty in any case.
And on my own I can share one of the simplest ways with which you can cook pizza dough, the recipe of which consists of just a few of the most common ingredients found in any home.
It is believed that the simpler the dough, the tastier the pizza. Surely, anyone in the kitchen will have water, flour, yeast and salt. In fact, the recipe is original in pizza dough, you should not add sugar or butter, and certainly no milk and eggs. Then you can get a natural Italian dough. Imagine that we are going to feed a large group of friends, and for this we decided to bake pizza.
Take 2kg of flour, 1l of water, 20g of yeast (fresh) and 50g of salt. From the listed ingredients, 3 kg of dough will turn out. The main secret is that you can not allow the "meeting" of salt and yeast. In order to avoid such embarrassment, it is necessary to mix them with flour in different bowls.
Take two large bowls, divide the flour in half and pour into each bowl. Then, in one of them add salt diluted with half the liquid, and in the other - also diluted yeast. Knead all the dough in both bowls. When the dough is left behind, you need to mix both halves into a single piece.
You can speed up the process a little if you have a food processor. In this case, mix all the flour with water (800 g) and when the dough is ready, add salt diluted in 200 g of water.
And now, thin pizza dough, the recipe of which is similar to a real Italian dough, is ready. Accordingly, the more carefully you roll out the dough, the finer it will turn out at the output. There is another secret that will make pizza more juicy. When preparing pizza, the total baking time should be no more than 15 minutes, and at first those ingredients that take longer to cook are laid out, and at the end you can report quickly cooked products. Try to cook the dough this way and you will see how your family will be surprised.
If you decide to make a yeast-free pizza dough, its recipe is also quite simple. You need to take a cup (in this recipe with a capacity of 230g) and from this calculation 2.5 cups of flour, ¾ cup of water, 1 egg, 2 tbsp. sour cream, 6 tablespoons butter, 0.5 tsp salt and soda. Mix everything and knead the dough.
