How do you make pizza dough?
To make pizza dough, mix flour, water, salt, yeast, and optional ingredients like oil or sugar. Knead the dough until smooth, let it rise, and then shape it into pizzas. Use our Pizza Calculator to get precise ingredient measurements.
What is Neapolitan pizza?
Neapolitan pizza is a traditional Italian pizza characterized by a thin, soft crust with a slightly charred edge. It is typically made with high-hydration dough (around 65%) and cooked in a wood-fired oven at high temperatures.
What is Roman pizza?
Roman pizza, also known as "pizza al taglio," is a rectangular pizza with a crispy crust. It is made with a high-hydration dough (around 75-80%) and baked in a sheet pan. It is often sold by weight in Italy.
What is American pizza?
American pizza typically features a thicker crust and a variety of toppings. Styles include New York-style pizza with a foldable crust and Chicago deep-dish pizza with a thick, buttery crust.
What is hydration in pizza dough?
Hydration refers to the ratio of water to flour in the dough, expressed as a percentage. Higher hydration results in a softer, airier crust, while lower hydration creates a denser crust. Use our Pizza Calculator to adjust hydration levels for your desired texture.
How can I customize my pizza dough?
You can customize your pizza dough by adjusting the hydration, salt, yeast, and optional ingredients like oil, sugar, or other flavorings. Use the "Custom" option in our Pizza Calculator to experiment with your own recipe.
