Recipe instructions

Step 1

Step 1
How to make thin pizza dough like in a pizzeria? Very simple! Take the highest grade flour. Any vegetable oil will do. I have olive. Before purchasing yeast, read the instructions. Since there is fast-acting yeast that mixes with flour immediately. The same recipe uses yeast, which is diluted with liquid — in this case, water. Read about the types of yeast and how to replace them in recipes in the article below the steps.

Step 2

Step 2
In a deep bowl, mix warm water heated to 40°C, sugar, salt and yeast. Leave in a warm place for 15 minutes. There should be a foam cap on the surface. This means that the yeast is active and you can knead the dough further. If this does not happen, you need to use other yeast; baking will not work with this.

Step 3

Step 3
Add most of the sifted flour and olive oil and knead into a soft, homogeneous dough, adding remaining flour if necessary. Depending on the quality of flour, you may need a little more or a little less. You can read more about flour and its properties in a separate article, link at the end of the recipe.

Step 4

Step 4
If the dough is still sticky and you need even more flour than the recipe calls for, it is better not to overfill the dough with flour, otherwise the finished dough will be too dense and tasteless. Let it remain slightly sticky. The stickiness will go away as the dough rises and rolls out.

Step 5

Step 5
Cover the bowl with a towel and leave the dough to rise in a warm place for 1 hour. I place in a preheated, slightly warm oven. The dough rises very well in it.

Step 6

Step 6
The finished dough is fluffy, soft and airy. You can use it to make one pizza for the entire pan or divide the dough in half and make 2 pizzas with different toppings. Bon appetit!
