Top 6 secrets to making a perfect pizza at home

Who doesn’t love to eat pizza, it is the most loved food all over the world. But when it comes to making a perfect pizza at home, it is not really easy. Pizza is not about using the best ingredients only; one must follow the instruction carefully and use the right amount of ingredients. So, we are here to reveal the secret of making perfect pizza and dough like a professional pizzeria.

1. Dough kneading techniques

Make sure that you have all the ingredients and using it correctly.

• 2 lb (900 g) flour

• 0.5 lt water

• 0.4 oz (10 g) fresh yeast

• 0.4 oz (10 g) vegetable or olive oil

• 0.8 oz (20 g) sea salt (fine grind)

Instruction to make perfect pizza dough -

•    Knead your dough constantly.

•    Shift the flour to make the dough fluffy and lighter

•    Take a bowl and put fresh yeast into cold water and stir it properly until it gets mixed properly.

•    Gently, add half the flour on the yeast bowl and stir it well to avoid lumps.

•    Lastly, use the remaining flour and salt to knead it.

2. Rolling out the dough by hand

The best way to make perfect dough is that divide the dough into several pieces and leave it in a room temperature for an hour to let it rise. Make sure that your dough increased by two times in volume. Roll out the dough properly using your hands and sprinkle some flour over it to gently stretch it from the mid while pushing out the edges. Also, ensure that your sides are slightly thicker to form a crust of your pizza.

3. Olive oil

Another secret of perfect pizza dough is olive oil. Olive oil makes the dough more flexible, hence by adding some olive oil to your mixture, you can knead everything thoroughly. Transfer the dough to a clean work surface and keep kneading it until it will lose the gumminess.

4. Make your pizza crust crispy

After making perfect dough, grease your baking pan with olive oil and sprinkle some flour to avoid the dough getting twig on the pan. Preheat the oven to 390 degrees, now spread the topping over the dough properly and put it in a preheated oven for about 10 minutes.

5. Choose the right sauce

Don’t use more than 3 tablespoons of sauce to a regular size pizza. It is not necessary to use traditional tomato paste only in pizza; you can also use hummus, cheese or pesto sauce. Be careful about the evenness of the sauce, it should not be too thin or liquid else the dough will become too damp.

6. Choose the right topping

Great pizzas are made from perfect dough and right toppings. Yes, your pizza topping needs to be seamless and make sure that you are not using more than 4 toppings. No matter what pizza topping you are going to make, but ensure that you are using fresh ingredients. Don’t make your layering too thick; 1 cm thickness is enough for your single topping. Moreover, it is not essential to sprinkle the toppings all over the dough because, in the end, you are going to grate the cheese on the top. To garnish your pizza topping before serving use fresh herbs only.
