5 Perfect Ingredients to Easily Prepare Pizza from Scratch

Some things like pizza are easy to make. Pizza is one of the most liked food in the world. It is one of the easiest dishes you can prepare for your loved ones at home. Because of the fame, you can find millions of different pizza recipes. Even some countries have pizzas that are so much different from other countries. But today, our topic is to make pizza from scratch. You don’t know that but making pizza from scratch is not very difficult. No doubt it is a time-consuming process, but the wait and efforts are worth it. You have to make the dough yourself, and the rest of the recipe is almost the same. If you are making pizza at a restaurant, you will need a pizza prep counter to speed up the recipe. Below we have mentioned five perfect ingredients to make pizza from scratch.

1. Flour

When it comes to choosing the best flour for pizza, everyone has their prioritized type of flour. You can use bread flour, all-purpose flour, or even self-rising flour. I would advise you to use all-purpose flour. But if you want a crispy crust, you should go with bread flour since bread flour contains more gluten than all-purpose flour. You will need 2 ½ cups of all-purpose flour to make 1-large pizza.

1. Water

Yes, you will not need any eggs to make this pizza. But as a substitute, we will use warm water. You will need warm water twice in this recipe. Make sure you are not using cold or hot water. Firstly, you will need warm water to mix the yeast. You will need warm water to make the dough. You can knead the dough using your hands. But if you don’t have any experience, you can use a blender.

1. Sugar and Salt

Of course, no one wants a flavorless pizza crust. Therefore, you should add sugar and salt to your dough. It is necessary to add sugar to the yeast mixture to activate the yeast and keep the dough tender. To add some flavor and seasoning to your crust, add a few pinches while kneading the dough. The absence of sugar and salt can affect the taste and texture of your pizza badly. Along with salt and sugar, you can also brush the crust with olive oil.

1. Yeast

You can use either dry-active yeast or instant yeast. Dry active yeast takes more time to rise as compared to instant yeast. If you are impatient or you don’t have much time, you should use instant yeast. I always prefer to use dry-active yeast. Almost 1-tablespoon of dry-active yeast will be enough for your pizza.

1. Toppings

You can use any toppings as you like. But cheese and pizza sauce are compulsory. You can use any veggies like bell peppers, tomatoes, onions, and mushrooms. You can also add chicken to your pizza. Make sure you sauté the toppings before putting them on your pizza. You can also use pasta, alfredo, or spaghetti sauce as an alternative to your pizza sauce.
