Recipe instructions

Step 1

Step 1
How to make thin, tender pizza like in a pizzeria? Prepare the ingredients for the dough. Take the highest grade flour. Any vegetable oil will do. I have olive. Before purchasing yeast, read the instructions. We need yeast that 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. The water should be warm, but not scalding, otherwise the yeast in it will die. Leave the yeast mixture 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
Now prepare the ingredients for the tomato sauce. You can use ready-made store-bought pizza sauce.

Step 7

Step 7
In a bowl, mix tomato paste, hot chili sauce, sugar and salt. If the tomato paste is very thick, you can dilute it with water.
