What else do you need to make this best homemade pizza bread?

Of course you need the ingredients. And when I say ingredients I mean basic ingredients which you already have in your kitchen. First and the most important basic ingredient is the flour. If you are asking what kind of flour you should use…the answer is all purpose flour.

ACTION MODE …for great flavor

Making Quick and easy pizza bread or the best homemade dough recipe

Ingredients:

1 cup + 3/4 cup  + 1/8 cup AP flour (almost 2 cups)

1 tsp active dry yeast

2 TBSP olive oil

1 cup water (you will use 1/4 cup + 3/4 cup)

1/4 tsp sugar

1 tsp salt

Instructions for making pizza dough:

Important when using the active yeast:

In a bowl, combine 1/4 cup of warm water (110 F to 120 F), active dry yeast and sugar.

Then stir all ingredients and let stand for 10 minutes.

Your next step is to add 3/4 cup lukewarm water, 2 TBSP olive oil and 1 tsp salt.

Mix all ingredients together using a metal spoon.

Then add 1 cup of flour and mix with the metal spoon.

Then add 3/4 cup of all purpose flour and keep mixing until…

until the spoon says: “Leave me alone your hard working bitch!”

Trust me, you will hear it. At this point retire your spoon unless you want the conflict to escalate.

Start using your hands. Don’t be afraid.

This will take less than 3 minutes…

BTW, you are ALMOST DONE MAKING the best PIZZA DOUGH for your pizza bread.

Knead dough until smooth, adding more flour by TBSP. You will know.

If you add 2 TBSP of flour and dough is happy you can stop at that point.

You don’t need to use all 1/8 cup of flour.

Transfer to prepared bowl and coat with olive oil.

First Rise

Cover bowl with plastic wrap then with tea towel and let pizza dough rise in warm place until double in volume, about 60 min or 1 hour.

So, let me repeat – rising time 60 minutes or longer.

Then you are ready to bake the best pizza bread.

And this is how.

When your pizza is double in size and ready, punch it down to release any air bubbles.

Then transfer the pizza dough to the baking sheet lined with parchment paper or aluminum foil.

Stretch it to the size you like, making the pizza bread you dream of.

It can be pizza bread in round shape or square or anything you like.

Use your imagination.

Just remember what kind of bread you like to eat…

Let it rest for about 15 minutes.

Then cover your easy and quick pizza bread with olive oil or oil of your choice.

Sprinkle with toppings you like.

I like to add black pepper, oregano, salt and sweet red paprika.

Preheat oven to 425 F.

Bake your easy homemade pizza bread for about 21 minutes or until golden.

Remove pizza bread from oven and enjoy just for the moment.

Be aware of texture, smell, color…and say:

Thank you 5 star cookies for the best pizza bread dough recipe. Ever!
