basic pizza dough recipe, how to make pizza dough at home with step by step photos and video recipe. Making a perfect pizza dough at home is not much difficult but it is tricky and a bit time taking. you need to ferment your dough properly to make a perfect crisp pizza.

To make perfect pizza dough,

Dissolve the yeast and sugar in the water.always allow yaest to activates. it usually takes 5 to 15 mins. depends on the weather.
once the yeast activates Shift flour into the yeast mixture with rest of the ingredients and prepare a smooth dough.
Knead the dough for about 5 minutes.
Option 1 — Use the dough right away. If you’re in a hurry, skip the rise and make the pizza right now. It will make a thin-crusted pizza with a cracker-like flavor.
Option 2 — Let the dough rise for 1 to 2 hours( necessary if you want to keep your dough fresh for a longer time).
Option 3 — Store the dough in the fridge. If you’re planning to make pizza in the next few days, cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a kitchen towel and refrigerate.
- Prepare the oven for baking. If your dough is refrigerated, take it out and let it warm on the counter while the oven heats or preferably 2 hours to come completely to room temperature.
Finally, Prepare your pizzas.

As I have told you can prepare pizza dough from scratch very easily. it is also important to store your dough properly. I usually make a fresh batch of dough for a day while preparing pizzas but sometimes you will get some leftovers and you need to store them properly to reuse it 🙂

To store pizza dough,

Always use plastic bags OR airtight container to store the dough.
keep the temperature of refrigerator high.
you don’t need to set temperature of a refrigerator when stored in deep freezer.
I recommend storing the dough in the freezer for longer shelf life.
always brush oil before storing otherwise your dough will get dryness while storing.
always allow your dough to set at room temperature before using the stored dough.
