Pizza recipe at home with yeast dough. Delicious yeast pizza dough

Ingredients:

  • 1 tbsp. warm water with a temperature of about 40 degrees;
  • 1 tbsp. Sahara;
  • 3 tsp dry instant yeast;
  • 2 tbsp. olive oil;
  • 1 tsp salt;
  • 3 tbsp. flour.

The simplest yeast dough will take 15-20 minutes to prepare.

Quick yeast pizza dough recipe

1. Pour warm water into a bowl at room temperature. The water should not be cold for the yeast to start “working”, and it should not be very hot so that the yeast does not “cook”. The optimal water temperature is 30-40 degrees, pleasant and not scalding. Pour the yeast into a bowl. Sprinkle sugar on top and mix with your hands, kneading any lumps that form. Leave the mixture - the dough for 10 minutes in a very warm place.

The mixture should rise slightly and a beautiful yeast cap will form on the water.

2. Pour all the flour directly into the bowl with the dough and mix with a spoon. As soon as the flour has absorbed all the liquid and the dough stops sticking too much to the walls of the bowl (1-2 minutes), add salt and olive oil.

3. Mix well with a spoon. The dough should become soft, elastic and not stick to the sides of the bowl. In total, the dough kneading process takes 5-7 minutes. The dough quickly sets and gathers into a large lump.

4. The dough is very pleasant to the touch. Ready-made yeast dough is usually enough for 3 thin-crust pizzas with a diameter of 30 cm or 2 thick-crust pizzas. The thickness of the dough depends on how you roll it out. Just keep in mind that the dough will still rise.

5. Lightly grease the baking sheet with vegetable oil or sprinkle with flour. Stretch the dough with your fingers along the baking sheet and roll it out with a rolling pin directly on the baking sheet. The main feature of preparing quick dough is that you need to touch it as little as possible. Everything is quick here - you mix it with a spoon, stretch it with your fingers, roll it out slightly. That's all, the quick yeast dough is ready, it's time to make pizza! The quick dough tastes no different from regular dough. It turns out just as tender, fluffy and with crispy edges.

Regular yeast dough is not much different from quick dough. It is kneaded by hand and then the dough is left to rise in a warm place for 2-3 hours. During this time, the volume of the dough increases approximately 3 times. You can roll out the prepared yeast dough into a pizza base. Have delicious pizza! 🙂

Homemade yeast dough is a good basis for delicious pizza. It does not require a large amount of products to make. The main thing is premium flour and high-quality dry yeast.

The pizza base is ready. All that remains is to roll out using one of the following methods (for example, adding chopped cubes of chilled butter sprinkled with flour).

Which dough to choose - yeast or non-yeast?

When choosing a yeast or yeast-free technology for preparing pizza dough, be guided by the taste preferences of your household, available ingredients and the amount of free time for the cooking process.

Please note that the dough base with yeast turns out more fluffy as it rises during baking. Adding a large amount of yeast will give the pizza a distinctive sour taste, so don't overdo it.

Preparing yeast dough will require more free time due to the “ripening” process, but the result is worth it. The pizza will turn out fluffy and very tasty, which your household will certainly like. Thank you for your attention!

The classic pizza dough recipe is yeast, flour, water and salt. This is exactly the correct dough that we will prepare today. Let's slightly diversify the composition with sunflower oil.

This will make our bun even more tender and elastic. Homemade yeast pizza dough using dry yeast is kneaded in literally 15 minutes.

It is enough to buy this very dry fast-acting yeast. You also need to take wheat flour, warm drinking water, salt and sunflower oil.

Place flour in a bowl. Add dry yeast to the flour. For pizza, yeast does not need to be dissolved in water.

Add water immediately after the yeast. It should only be used warm. Hot water kills yeast, and cold water slows down the fermentation process.

Next add sunflower oil. Knead into a soft bun.

Quick pizza dough with dry yeast is ready!

Let's divide the bun into two parts. Roll out the dough into a round cake. Place it on the bottom of the springform pan. Dust the base with flour. We also use flour for rolling.

Now about the pizza. There can be so many options for filling that you won’t be able to fill your fingers. Let's focus on economy class ingredients.

We assume that schoolchildren and students will be able to bake our pizza. You will need: tomato sauce, smoked sausage, tomatoes, “Russian” cheese, black olives.

Grease the dough with tomato sauce.

Spread it over the surface with a silicone brush.

Add sausage and tomatoes.

Sausage and tomatoes are sprinkled with grated cheese.

Then black olives, halved.

School pizza is placed in an oven preheated to 240°C for 10 minutes. Hooray! I'm all ready!

Let's add quick pizza dough with dry yeast to our collection of simple homemade recipes. Yeah?

Are fresh and raw yeast the same thing?) I’m completely confused) and what unusual fillings do you recommend?

Alena
Dry yeast manufacturers claim that there is no difference, that dry yeast is just as good as fresh yeast. But practice shows that fresh compressed yeast is still better for butter dough. In the case of pizza, this slight difference is not so significant; you can bake with both fresh and dry ones. The main thing is to take the right proportion. Usually 3g. fresh compressed yeast corresponds to 1g. dry yeast. Just in case, read the packaging carefully; the manufacturer must indicate how much flour one bag is designed for.
As for the fillings, I love four cheeses, as well as smoked salmon and shrimp.

Marina 01/06/14
I most often used dry yeast for baking; it was convenient not to make mistakes in the proportions. Therefore, I don’t see a big difference between dry and raw, the main thing is that they are fresh). I really liked the recipe for quick pizza, this will really help out any housewife when unexpected guests are on the doorstep). I’ve never tried adding honey instead of sugar, now I want to experiment).

Larisa 01/17/15
I also make pizza dough this way, I don’t recognize the thick layer of dough, it turns out to be some kind of pie, not pizza.

Rita 01/18/15
For some reason, I used to be afraid to make pizza dough myself; I always bought ready-made ones. But this time I decided to try it, I was impressed that the dough came out quickly)). I can say that I’m no good at housekeeping, I always mess up everything in the kitchen, but this time I was surprised myself - the pizza base turned out even better than using store-bought dough. I'm taking the recipe into notes)).

Anastasia 01/28/15
This was my first time making pizza, but it turned out no worse than at the pizzeria. Everyone really liked the pizza.

Victoria 03.13.15
In fact, this pizza dough recipe is, in my opinion, the most ideal and inexpensive) I’ve been using it for many years.

lada 03.13.15
I didn't know you could use honey instead of sugar. I'll have to please my husband with pizza)

Anastasia 03/15/15
Good recipe, I also prepare pizza dough this way, but I wouldn’t say it’s that fast, because you still need to wait a little)

Marina 03.25.15
Alena, your site never ceases to amaze me, this is the second time I’ve made pizza myself (not from puff pastry), the first time the dough turned out a little hard, I overdid it with flour, but today it turned out simply amazing, these proportions yielded 3 wonderful pizzas. Your site is a godsend for me and an assistant in culinary affairs) You can do everything in 5 minutes, if you post a photo of mine I will be flattered, thank you again)))

Alena
Marina, thank you very much for the review and for the photo! The pizzas turned out great!!! Let me go make some pizza too, otherwise my mouth is watering)))

Marina 03/27/15
Alena, now pizza is almost the main dish on our table, I cook it every other day)) I’m afraid by summer I won’t fit in the doorway)) What do you think if I make a piece of dough and freeze it? will it be very different from fresh?

Alena
Marina, if you have some dough left over and you don’t intend to bake it in the foreseeable future, you can freeze the dough. But to be honest, I don’t really like yeast dough after freezing. Therefore, if you are going to bake in the next day or two, it is better to wrap the dough in food plastic and simply hide it in the refrigerator.

Ekaterina 12/22/15
The dough is wonderful, and most importantly it’s quick to make))) Thank you)

irina 02/23/16
Very good recipe! The dough is wonderful and really fast!)))

Ingredients for one 30 cm pizza

Dough:

The type of flour is important for the structure, and although it will be tasty in any case, nevertheless, the “wow, like in a pizzeria” effect and the wonderful lavash viscousness of the dough is achieved by the right type of flour. So for a simpler effect, any white flour for baking is suitable, and for a solid immersion in the world of pizza, we take type 00 flour or a mixture of 00+semola 5:1 (for example, Italian Molino Grassi and Garnets for pizza in a green pack).

Tomato sauce:
250 g pureed tomatoes in their own juice or fresh tomatoes,
1/2 tsp. marjoram,
1/2 tsp. basilica,
1/2 tsp. oregano,
1/4 tsp. salt,
1 clove of garlic.

Filling:
120 g unbrine mozzarella,
+ any ingredients as desired - red and green hot fresh peppers, salami, olives, marinated champignons. The filling components must be completely ready for use or require minimal heat treatment.

Pizza recipe

  1. Prepare the dough. Dissolve sugar and yeast in warm water. Only in warm, never cold or hot, so as not to kill the yeast.
  2. Mix flour with salt and sift into a mixer bowl.
  3. Pour the butter and yeast mixture into the flour. Knead the dough in a food processor for 7-10 minutes, then another 2-3 minutes with your hands. The dough will be smooth, elastic, not sticky and very pleasant. Pull the dough into a ball.
  4. On a surface sprinkled with flour, immediately after kneading, roll out the dough into a round layer with a diameter of 30 cm. Cover with a towel and leave to proof for 30-40 minutes, depending on the degree of desired fluffiness and thickness of the pizza, in a warm place.
  5. Prepare classic Italian tomato sauce. Chop the tomatoes, put them in a saucepan and cook until thicker under the lid (otherwise it will splash a lot) over medium heat. The volume will decrease by about one and a half times. Add salt and spices, pressed garlic. Let cool.
  6. We prepare and cut the ingredients for the filling - peppers, mushrooms, sausage...
  7. Assemble the pizza on a baking sheet. Pour all the tomato sauce and half the cheese onto the prepared dough and distribute evenly over the pizza. Lay out the filling ingredients and sprinkle the remaining grated cheese on top.
  8. Bake the pizza at 220 degrees C for about 10 minutes.

Thick, fluffy, piping hot pizza is ready. Bon appetit!
