How to make pizza with yeast like in a pizzeria? Prepare the necessary ingredients for the dough. Dry yeast can be replaced with fresh yeast. How to do this correctly, read the article at the link at the end of the recipe. Warm the water slightly.

Step 2

Step 2
In a bowl, dissolve yeast and sugar in water. Leave the mixture for about 10 minutes until a light foamy “cap” appears on the surface. This will check the activity of the yeast. If you are confident in their quality, you don’t have to wait for activation, but proceed to the next step.
