Airy pizza dough

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 1 hr 30 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   Ingredients for the dough. Be sure to sift the flour. This will saturate it with oxygen, and the finished dough will be softer and more tender.

2. STEP 2

   

   Pour yeast into a bowl, add honey. Heat the water to 40-42 degrees. No more so that the yeast does not die.

3. STEP 3

   

   Pour 1/3 cup warm water into the bowl with the yeast and stir. The dough will immediately begin to bubble.

4. STEP 4

   

   Place a little more than half the specified amount of flour in the mixer bowl. You may need a little more or a little less flour. Therefore, you should not pour out all the flour at once. Add salt. Start mixing with the dough hook at low speed.

5. STEP 5

   

   Add olive oil, stirring constantly.

6. STEP 6

   

   Pour in the dough.

7. STEP 7

   

   Pour in the remaining warm water in a thin stream.

8. STEP 8

   

   Knead until the dough is smooth and pulls away from the sides. If necessary, add a little more flour. This will take approximately 5 minutes.

9. STEP 9

   

   Sprinkle the table with flour, lay out the semi-finished dough and knead it with your hands for about 5 minutes until it becomes homogeneous, soft and elastic.

10. STEP 10

    

    Sprinkle a large bowl with flour, place a ball of dough, cover with a towel and place in a warm place for 30 minutes. At this time, you can already turn on the oven at 250 degrees so that it warms up properly.

11. STEP 11

    

    Divide the dough into 2 or 4 equal parts (depending on the desired size of the pizza). I divided it in half and got 2 thick pizzas with a diameter of 24 cm. Knead each piece for a few more minutes, giving it the shape of a ball. Cover with a towel and leave to proof for 15 minutes.

12. STEP 12

    

    Lightly flour the dough, flatten it into a ball and roll it out with a rolling pin to the desired thickness. Then transfer to a pizza stone or a special baking tray with holes (you can also use a regular baking tray), stretch it with your hands to the desired size and form low sides. Brush the surface of the base with a small amount of olive oil.

13. STEP 13

    

    Place the filling on the pizza base. I took tomato sauce, salami, onions, a mixture of dried herbs and cheese. Bake in a well-heated oven for 15 minutes until the dough is cooked through and the sides are golden brown.

14. STEP 14

    

    Remove the pizza from the oven and cut into triangles while hot. Serve immediately.

How good is this pizza dough recipe!!! The dough is airy, plastic, obedient! And, of course, the pizza turns out great! It bakes well, the edges are golden brown, but at the same time remain soft. In general, cooking is a pleasure, and eating is double the pleasure.

Thanks for the recipe. The dough is very soft and airy. I used a 26 cm pan and reduced the ingredients by half, so it turned out to be a thin pizza. I loved it . Here's my photo report.

The dough turns out awesome, I confirm))) We rolled it out thinly, we got 3 standard size pizzas. The inside base is fluffy and airy, the outside has a pleasant, delicate crust. I'm now torn between two pizza dough recipes. (this is now my second favorite recipe).
