Basic Recipe for Pizza Dough

For the basic recipe for pizza dough, dissolve yeast and honey in about 70 ml of lukewarm water. In a bowl, mix salt and flour with a dough hook. Add oil, yeast mixture and the remaining water and slowly knead everything well. Knead until the dough comes away from the sides of the bowl (about 5 minutes). Remove from bowl and knead by hand for another 2-3 minutes until you have a nice smooth, silky dough. Place in a bowl, cover with a damp cloth and let rest in a warm place for about 30 minutes. Divide the dough into 4 parts and knead again by hand for another 3 minutes each. Then roll under the heel of your hand for about 1 more minute until the dough is nice and soft. Now let dough balls rest for another 15-20 minutes. Roll out the pizza dough thinly to the desired size and place on a baking tray lined with baking paper. Top as desired and bake in a preheated oven at 220 °C for about 12-15 minutes.

Baking oven temperature: 220 °C Baking time: approx. 12-15 minutes

Preparation Tip:

Since this basic recipe for pizza dough comes from a time when sugar cane paid among the most expensive ingredients in the world and was not available to the poor strata of society, honey is originally used here. However, since the triumph of cheap beet sugar in the 19th century, honey is usually replaced by sugar. Storage and shelf life of pizza dough: Wrapped in cling film, pizza dough can be easily stored in the refrigerator for up to two days.
