Best Homemade Pizza
My best homemade pizza recipe is even better than the one i used to buy. It is rich of flavours with a lovely and delicious crunchy crust and a delicious mushy dough. I tried many pizza dough and this one is the best and even easier. The ingredients is very simple but the secret of a good pizza is the dough consistency and the heat of oven. The dough must be soft and elastic to give you the best result, also the heat of oven must be as hot as possible to give the crunchy crust and the mushy inside. I made my pizza with margarita style but you can make your own filling such as vegetarian pizza, sea food pizza, pepperoni pizza, or any other flavours you like.
Tips to make the best homemade pizza:
- Knead the dough for 15 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Dust the dough with flour or grease it with olive oil.
- Cover and let the dough ferment in a warm place.
- Extend the dough with hands as the desired thickness.
- I use a normal baking sheet to bake my pizza if you have pizza stone, would be better.
- Don’t over put tomato sauce to your pizza.
- Dust semolina gives the crust extra crunch.
- Bake pizza in a hot oven.
What kind of flour to use in pizza?
Use a good quality of a plain flour or all purpose flour fo a good result, some people use corn flour but honestly i never tried it on my pizza.
