Recipe instructions

Step 1

Step 1
How to knead fluffy and soft yeast pizza dough using dry yeast? Prepare the necessary ingredients. Pour warm drinking water into a deep bowl. The water temperature should be pleasantly warm to the touch, but not hot. Otherwise the yeast may die. Pour in odorless sunflower oil. Refined sunflower oil is usually added to baking dough so that the dough has a neutral smell and taste.

Step 2

Step 2
Add dry instant yeast, salt and sugar. Sugar is necessary for the functioning of yeast, and salt will significantly improve the taste of the dough. This is a recipe for a no-pair dough. That is, the performance of the yeast is not tested here, but is assumed initially. If there is even the slightest doubt about the freshness of the yeast, then it would be better to prepare a dough.

Step 3

Step 3
Sift premium flour into the dough in parts, focusing on the consistency of the resulting dough. It is important not to overfill the dough with flour, otherwise the pizza base will turn out like a sole.

Step 4

Step 4
It usually takes 15 minutes or more to knead the dough by hand. As soon as it stops sticking too much to your hands, it’s ready. You may not need the entire amount of flour indicated in the recipe, since it differs in quality from different manufacturers. Cover the dough with cling film and put it in a warm place for an hour. I leave the dough in the microwave, in which a second ago I heated half a glass of regular tap water.

Step 5

Step 5
Within an hour, the dough will increase significantly in volume, become fluffy and rise well. The dough should have a characteristic, homely, yeasty smell.

Step 6

Step 6
You can knead it with your hand and leave it in a warm place for another half hour. This will make the dough more fluffy. After this, the dough is ready for further work — rolling out the base and forming the pizza.

Step 7

Step 7
I got four pizzas, thirty centimeters in diameter. The pizza base made from this dough is fluffy, tender in taste, and the crust is crunchy. But the dough itself does not brown well. Perhaps this is due to the characteristics of my oven, because they are all different.
