Great homemade pizza

March 20, 2016 by Clare Leave a Comment

How To Make a Great Homemade Pizza

For a tasty pizza, you need to have a good dough along with some amazing toppings. Isn’t it true? Yes, it is, but there a few tips and tricks of the trade which will mean your homemade pizza tastes even better. Most of the time, when making pizza at home you will have thought how amazing it tastes but there will be those few times were it felt like you were punishing your teeth. Not that we’ve ever burnt pizza but one minute it’s almost cooked and the next it’s over done. So by following these tips below you should end up with the perfect homemade pizza.

pizzaHow to get that crispy dough?
Most people like pizza to be crispy. If this is you then you will be wondering how to achieve that crispy base. In general, if the dough is wetter, you will get crispy pizza. It’s simple, by using the sticky dough, you will be able to get a thin and crispy base. If you love it fluffy, add more flour while preparing. If this already sounds like far too much work to you then you can avoid all this work and enjoy pizza, then simply order it online at Pizza Hut. Feel free to use our Pizza hut discount code.

Let the dough rest
When it comes to letting the dough rest, most people will start making pizza once the dough is ready. This is not what happens in restaurants. They let the dough stay in the fridge overnight and prove for longer. The reason is very simple! At very low temperature, the gluten in the flour gets relaxed. This increases the elasticity of the dough making it easy for stretching. Just make a big ball of your dough and place it in a greasy bowl, use plastic foil to cover it and place it in the fridge. You’ll thank us in the long run!

Have a pizza stone
In reality, many of the pizza stones are not really stones. Most of the professionals use ceramic plates. This is something which is maybe worth purchasing it you are going to give homemade pizza a good go at home. The slab absorbs all the moisture apart from retaining the heat. So you will be able to keep the food at the right temperature and your base nice and crispy. 

How to avoid the base sticking
When you are working on the dough, make sure you use your hands. Once you have the ball, crush it to get the shape of the disk. Now put some hominy on the tray and place the dough on that. Roll the dough now to get the perfect diameter. In case the dough is more elastic, leave it there for some time and try again. You will be surprised by the result.

Say no to excessive toppings
Make sure that you don’t overload the dough with a number of ingredients. Just go for 4-5 ingredients only. This will help you to bake the dough properly. If like us sometimes you get over excited and can’t help but pile on the toppings you will not be able to bake the dough properly and you may end up with a raw middle and a crispy crust.
