Learn2 Make Pizza Dough
(7 steps)


"When the moon hits your eye like a big pizza pie..."


In this day and age of pre-made everything, it's nice once in a while to create something completely from scratch. Making pizza dough is a fun place to start. Once you are comfortable working with yeast and learn the "feel" of well-made dough, you'll be able to tackle all kinds of breads and pastries with ease. This 2torial will yield enough dough to make two medium or four individual-sized pizzas.

Before you begin

Make sure to check the "Best if used by" date on the yeast package. Discard old yeast. Always have back-up yeast available. If one package fails the "proof" test, you must start again with new yeast.

Gather all ingredients and equipment beforehand; you don't want to fumble around your kitchen with sticky, floury hands.

This tutorial isn't about baking the pizza, so you've got to deal with the toppings, but here's a clue: preheat your oven to 450 degrees, and baking time (for a medium size) is 20-25 minutes.
