Everyone loves pizza - both adults and children. But many housewives do not dare to cook it at home: they are afraid that the dough will not work out. I know for sure - until recently I didn’t even want to hear about it, until I was persuaded to take a risk and try this recipe for pizza dough like in a pizzeria.

By the way, I got the following recipe for pizza dough like in a pizzeria from the chef of a chain of Italian restaurants in our city, so my expectations of getting real pizza dough like in a pizzeria were justified. To say that I was pleased with the result is to say nothing: thin pizza dough like in a pizzeria is very easy to prepare, but it turns out really tasty!

I’ll tell you a secret: this homemade pizza with yeast is a thousand times tastier than the one at the pizzeria. As you understand, the filling for homemade pizza can be different, but in my family one of the favorite options is with ham, hunting sausages and mushrooms. Nourishing, tasty, appetizing - a great dinner with the family!

Ingredients:

For 2 pizzas with a diameter of 20-22 cm:

For pizza dough like in a pizzeria:

• 200 g flour;
• 100 ml water at room temperature
• 2 tsp. dry yeast;
• 1 tbsp. l. sugar (without a slide);
• 0.5 tsp. salt;
• 1 tbsp. l. olive oil.

For the sauce:

• 4-5 tomatoes per own juice(without skin)
• 1 tbsp. l. tomato paste;
• 1 tsp. dry Provençal herbs;
• 1 tsp. olive oil;
• salt to taste.

For the filling:

• 4-5 pieces of champignons;
• 100 g ham;
• 4-5 pieces of hunting sausages;
• 150 g hard cheese.

For decoration:

• Greens (parsley, basil, green onions).

How to make pizza at homelike in a pizzeria:

First of all, we prepare the dough for Italian pizza, just like in a pizzeria. Sift the flour and pour it into a container that will be convenient to use with a mixer.

Add dry yeast to the flour.

Now it's time for salt and sugar.

Add unflavored olive oil.

And mix everything with a mixer.

Then add water and use the mixer again.

This completes the work of the mixer. Remove the dough from the bowl and form it into a ball with your hands.

Now get ready - you'll have to work hard. To ensure that the dough is elastic and does not stick to your hands, you will need to knead it for 7-10 minutes. It is in kneading by hand that the secret of thin pizza dough, like in a pizzeria, lies.

Now you need to send the dough to proof. We choose a container (I have a plastic container with a lid) that is large enough in size - after all, the dough will double in volume. Lightly grease the bottom of the container with olive oil and place the dough into it. Cover the container with a lid or towel and place in a warm place, protected from drafts. In the summer I put the pizza dough on the balcony, and in the winter in an electric oven preheated to 30-40 degrees.

At this point, the pizza adze can be frozen if you want to make the pizza another day and don't want to fuss with the dough. Divide the dough into two parts, wrap each part in cling film and place in the freezer. Before cooking, remove the dough and defrost at room temperature. You can use the “defrost” mode in the microwave or oven. After defrosting, the pizza dough will “fit” and will be completely ready for further work.

After 40-50 minutes, the pizza dough should rise properly.

We divide our pizza dough into 2 parts.

Using a rolling pin, roll out the dough into a circle with a diameter of about 20 cm.

Mix all the ingredients for the sauce: chopped tomatoes without skins, tomato paste, Provençal herbs, olive oil. We taste it - if there is not enough salt, then add it too.

Using a spoon, spread the sauce onto the dough, backing a little around the edges.

Wash the mushrooms, cut into slices and lightly fry in a frying pan with a little olive oil.

Cut the ham into thin slices.

We cut the hunting sausages into rings.

Three hard cheeses on a medium grater.

First, to bake pizza, you need to make the pizza dough correctly. Nowadays, pizza is so widespread in our country that even kids know about it. And it would seem, well, what’s special there? I rolled out the flatbread, put everything that was lying around in the refrigerator there, and in the oven. No, it's not that simple. All products must be the freshest, and the dough is the most important ingredient.

When in our home-made bakeries, in the first years of perestroika, they began to make pizza, it was made, not baked, it was dough fried with sausage. And only in our time pizzerias appeared and many people learned what real pizza is.

1. Video - Pizza dough - classic

Ingredients:

• Flour - 3 cups without a slide (glass volume - 250 ml.)
• Water - 1 glass
• Honey - 1 tsp.
• Instant yeast - 4 g.
• Salt - 1 tsp.
• Olive oil - 1 tbsp.

Preparation:

1. Sift the flour into a cup in which we will prepare the dough.

2. Pour a quarter glass of water into another glass. The water should be warm.

3. Add a teaspoon of honey and dry yeast to the glass into which the water has been poured. Actually, this yeast is added to flour. We will add them to water with honey to activate them.

4. Set aside for 10-15 minutes until a foamy cap appears. Add a teaspoon of salt to the rest of the water. Due to the fact that we have diluted the yeast in the honey solution, they are activated and the process of rising the dough will go very quickly.

5. Make a hole in the flour and pour salted water and diluted yeast into it.

6. Add a tablespoon of olive oil.

7. Knead the dough. Since flour varies from place to place, you may need a little more water. Place a glass of water nearby and you can add little by little. We needed about a couple of spoons. The dough should be tight, but not dry.

8. Pour a little oil into the bottom of the cup in which we work with the dough and grease the bowl.

9. Knead the dough until smooth and homogeneous. The dough is dense and not sticky.

10. Round the dough. Place in a greased bowl.

11. Cover the dough with a damp towel, but not wet, i.e. it must be wetted and squeezed out well. We send the dough to a warm place. I turn on the light in the oven and put it in there. And it gets warm there. You can cover it with something.

12. After 30 minutes, take out the dough. Look, it's already here. This is the result of adding good yeast in a honey solution to the dough.

13. Place the dough on the work table, punch it down and knead for another 2-3 minutes. Then round the dough again and put it in a warm place for another 10 minutes. Then it will be easier to divide it.

14. Divide the dough, look how bubbly and delicious it is inside.

15. From this amount of dough you will get 4 pizzas with a diameter of approximately 24 cm. We round each part of the dough; to do this, we gather the edges of the dough towards the center, until a smooth surface is formed. We roll up the seam.

16. Cover the rolled dough with a damp towel and leave to rest for about 15 minutes.

17. After 15 minutes, open the dough and first stretch it a little with your hands. The masters say that you need to stretch it with your hands until you get a finished cake, but I think it will be more convenient for us to do this with a rolling pin.

18. Take one part of the dough, cover the rest with a wet towel and roll it out to a thin circle with a rolling pin. Then we take the next one, etc. Cover the rolled out dough with a wet towel.

Bake the dough

19. All our dough is completely ready for baking. Now everything is as usual, lay out the filling and bake. Place a piece of rolled out dough on baking paper, stretch it slightly with your hands and grease with olive oil. The oil will create a barrier between the filling, which is quite wet, and the dough.

20. Spread the dough tomato sauce.

21. Add some chopped onion and some bacon.

22. Place diced mozzarella cheese and diced tomatoes.

23. Place olives cut into rings and grated Parmesan cheese on top.

24. Place the pizza directly on the paper on a hot baking sheet.

25. At the very beginning, bake the pizza in the lower part of the oven. Our dough crust should be baked, but the filling should not burn.

26. Our cheese has melted, the bottom is baked, put the baking sheet higher. We bake the pizza in the middle of the oven for the last 2 minutes.

In total, pizza is baked for approximately 5-8 minutes at a temperature of 230°-250° C.

I really like this recipe. The pizza dough is thin and soft. It cooks quite quickly. Everything takes a little over an hour.

The pizza tastes amazing. The pizza is ready. Beauty!

Pizza is like a small piece of Italy. It is a circle of dough reminiscent of the sun, covered with sweet tomatoes and slices of mozzarella cheese. Its popularity is growing from year to year and is firmly winning the hearts of true gourmets. Historians regularly find evidence of the existence of Ancient Rome And Ancient Greece dishes that vaguely resemble pizza. They were pieces of baked goods with various fillings placed on top.

And with the arrival of tomato seeds in Europe and the subsequent cultivation of this vegetable crop, this dates back to around the beginning of the 16th century in Naples, too, they began to prepare a similar dish. Even ordinary people began to prepare various versions of pizza for themselves. And over time, even a similar profession appeared, a person who prepares pizza, pizzaiollo.

But not only the peasants fell in love with it, and rich people did not deny themselves the pleasure of enjoying such a dish. Each popular recipe was given its own name, most often it was female name. One of the most popular is, for example, the name “Margarita”, and it is named in honor of the beautiful princess Margarita of Savoy.

You can read the recipe for this pizza in my previous article.

By leaps and bounds, this culinary masterpiece, gaining more and more popularity, spread to every corner of Europe, and already in the 19th century it reached overseas, to distant America. There it also became a favorite dish. But the Americans went further; they began to cook it not just to order, but also to deliver the finished dish to your home.

And today, once poor people's food is loved by the whole world. There is practically no popular food establishment that does not offer a variety of pizza recipes in its range of ready-made dishes.

Back in the 90s, when I first came to Italy, I went to the local Mambo Pizza restaurant and simply fell in love with its dishes. In Russia at that time there was only one such network, and then only in the capital. And since I had to be in Italy quite often due to work, I only ate in this restaurant.

The restaurant's pizza menu was varied not only in the filling, but also in the layer of dough itself. It could be either thin and crispy, but also thick and soft to the touch. This was so surprising that I tried to order something new so as not to miss anything.

Of course, over time, such establishments began to appear in the vast expanses of our large homeland, and then they began to cook pizza for themselves at home. And in Russian style, on a grand scale, an incredible amount of various fillings were placed on it - from mushrooms, eggs and pickled cucumbers to various types meat and sausages, and at the same time.

Every housewife knows that the taste of the food as a whole largely depends on the dough. The standard method includes wheat flour, fermented milk starter, olive oil, table salt and drinking water.

During the cooking process, the kneading is given time to rest, about twenty minutes. Then they are stretched into a circle, covered with tomato sauce and filling and transferred to the oven. It is cooked until golden brown.

That's why I decided to start today's article by considering several options for preparing the dough. Because I truly believe it's all about the dough. Let's study them together and learn how to cook it correctly.

Pizza dough without yeast

Today's article will be entirely devoted to cooking Italian dish- pizza. The variety of recipes for just one batch allows you to create it for every taste and preference, from the thinnest with a slight crunch to fluffy and tender, literally melting in your mouth. And the filling complements its perfect taste, adding an indescribable zest.

On olive oil

From time immemorial, only olive oil was used in Italy, so almost all recipes use only it, but in our latitudes you can easily get by with refined sunflower oil.

Products:

• Wheat flour – 0.5 kg;
• Drinking water – 130 g;
• Olive oil – 70 g;
• Soda ash – 1⁄2 tsp;
• Table salt - one teaspoon.

What we do:

Take a deep cup and sift the flour through a fine strainer. Add some water, oil and salt to it.

Mix everything thoroughly with a whisk. Quench the soda in vinegar and pour it into the dough. Also pour out the remaining water. And continue to stir the mixture.

If there is no soda, then it can be perfectly replaced with baking powder in the ratio of 0.5 teaspoon of soda equal to one teaspoon of baking powder.

The dough should be soft and elastic to the touch. But for this you need to knead it for at least ten minutes.

Pour tomato paste with herbs onto the workpiece and distribute evenly over the entire surface, then apply the prepared filling, cover with cheese and take to the oven.

Bake until golden brown.

With milk and eggs

This recipe is interesting not only because it contains milk, but also because it can easily be replaced with whey without compromising its taste. Italians are generally a very versatile people, on the one hand they are very cunning and resourceful, and on the other they have a very refined taste and sense of beauty, especially in preparing recipes for the national dish of Italy - pizza.

Product composition:

• Wheat flour – 500 gr;
• Eggs – 2 pieces;

Add ground wheat and table salt there. Stir without stopping.

Sprinkle the work surface with flour, place the dough on it and continue stirring.
The resulting mixture will be soft and very pliable.

Roll it into a ball and set aside for 30 minutes.

Then roll it out to the required thickness, fill it with pre-prepared slices and bake until crusty.

With melted butter

This recipe is for those who love a creamy taste in pizza. The butter should be melted first, and then added, or immediately purchased melted. Regular butter does not have such a rich taste and simply will not give the same effect, so be sure to use ghee.

Product composition:

• Ground wheat – 500 grams;
• Butter – 150 grams;
• Egg – 1 piece;
• Refined sugar – 1⁄2 teaspoon;
• Baking powder - one teaspoon;

Cooking method:

Heat the oil in a saucepan placed over a pan of water and mix it with refined sugar and salt.
Separately, mix the egg and pour into the oil. Pour baking powder into it and continue stirring.
Pass the ground wheat through a fine strainer and pour into the dough. Stir until a soft consistency is obtained.
Pizza dough definitely requires time to rest, about twenty minutes is enough for it, then roll it out and cover it with filling. Bake until golden brown.

Yeast dough recipes

Traditional Italian pizza is almost never prepared without adding yeast. And even though its preparation takes longer, the result completely covers all these shortcomings.

The simplest yeast dough

Let's start with, perhaps, the simplest, but very tasty recipe. I believe that for housewives who have never prepared yeast dough, this method is suitable like no other.

Ingredients:

• Wheat flour – 750 grams;
• Drinking water – 250 grams;
• Yeast – 2 packs;
• Granulated sugar – 1⁄2 teaspoon;
• Table salt – 15 grams.

Let's start:

Heat the water slightly and add sugar to it, stir until completely dissolved. Then dissolve dry yeast in it. Add 1⁄2 part flour. Mix everything again and set aside for 25 minutes.

Take the second part of the flour, add salt to it and pour it into the dough in parts. Knead the dough. It will stick to your hands, so it is better to lubricate them with oil.

Place it back in a warm place for a couple of hours. Then knead it again and divide it into parts. And then roll out each part into the desired shape, put the filling on them and bake until golden brown.

With olive oil

And this method contains a minimum set of products and only the addition of olive oil makes it different from simple yeast dough.

Product composition:

• Wheat flour – 750 grams;
• Drinking water – 250 grams;
• Granulated sugar – 10 grams;
• Dry yeast – 2 packs;
• Olive oil – 20 grams.

Let's start:

Heat water with sugar, mix it with yeast. Add half the flour and let this mixture brew for thirty minutes.

Mix wheat flour with salt and add it to the dough. Mix well and place on a layer for half an hour.

Then mix the risen dough and divide into equal parts. Stretch or roll each of them into a layer of the required thickness, fill them with fillings and bake until cooked.

Dough according to Jamie Oliver's recipe

If you want to cook something very tasty, but no less simple, then just use any recipe from this famous chef. He specializes in these kinds of recipes. Today we will look at one of them in more detail.

Ingredients:

• Wheat flour – 4 cups;
• Drinking water – 500 grams;
• Dry yeast – 2 packs;
• Table salt – 20 grams;
• Granulated sugar – 15 grams.

Actions:

Heat the water slightly and dilute the water with sugar in it, plus add another spoonful of wheat flour. Leave it in a warm place for 15 minutes.

Pour flour onto a work surface in a heap and pour the dough into the middle. Gradually, using a fork, mix them together.

When it stops stirring, remove the fork and stir with your hands.
We do this for at least fifteen minutes.

Then roll the dough into a ball and leave it in a warm place for half an hour.
Then knead into a thin layer, fill them with filling and bake in the oven one at a time for five minutes.
For the filling you can use completely different ingredients, from fish and eggs to various meats. Laying them both simultaneously and alternately.

If you don't want to cook ten pizzas at once, then simply freeze the preparations and use them as needed.

How to make the sauce

The main thing in any pizza is the sauce used. Just like pizza recipes, it can contain various ingredients, but it must certainly be ideally suited to the filling used and the dough used.

Compound:

• Tomatoes – 0.4 kilograms;
• Garlic – 1 clove;
• Basil greens – 1 sprig;
• Olive oil – 90 grams;
• Salt, pepper - at your discretion.

Let's start:

Make a cross-shaped cut on the tomatoes and blanch them in boiling water for several minutes, then plunge into ice water. Then remove the skin from them and grind them on a grater.

Heat the oil and fry the tomatoes in it for five minutes, and then add the garlic.
Simmer them for at least two minutes and add basil to them.

Blanch this mixture for at least fifteen minutes. To evaporate excess moisture.
Cool the sauce and apply warm to the dough.

Video on how to knead dough using kefir

Pizza is definitely very delicious dish, loved by many people. The easiest way is to order it and have it delivered to your home, but nothing tastier than home-cooked pizza has yet been invented.

But since not all housewives know how and like to work with dough due to the use of yeast, it was for them that we prepared a video recipe for preparing dough using kefir.

Due to the reaction of soda ash and kefir, the dough comes out fluffy and tender, and tastes very airy.

The main advantage of using kefir in dough is the speed of preparation and the ease of complexity of the recipe. There are no exact recommendations for fillings here, it’s up to your discretion and wallet.

But do not forget that initially pizza was filled only with circles of sweet tomatoes and shredded cheese. Therefore, the most delicious food often lies in its simple execution.

Cook with pleasure and please your loved ones.
