FAQ ❓

What is the secret to making perfect pizza dough?

The secret lies in the quality of your ingredients and the kneading technique. Using high-protein flour and allowing the dough to rest and rise properly will yield a better texture.

How long should I let my pizza dough rise?

For optimal results, let your pizza dough rise for about 2 hours at room temperature, which allows the yeast to work effectively and develop flavor.

Can I make pizza dough in advance?

Yes, you can prepare the dough in advance and refrigerate it for up to 24 hours. Just remember to let it come to room temperature before shaping.

What type of flour is best for pizza dough?

High-protein flour, such as bread flour, is ideal for pizza dough as it creates a chewier texture. However, all-purpose flour can also work well.

How do I know when my pizza dough is ready to use?

Your pizza dough is ready when it has doubled in size and feels soft and elastic to the touch. A simple poke test can help; if the indentation springs back slowly, it's ready to use.
