You probably have visions of tossing your pizza dough in the air to form a perfect circle and catching it on your pinky while gesturing air kisses with the other hand and yelling “delizioso” to your dog. We don’t blame you and we encourage video footage of your attempts.
But before you set up your video production and pull out your chefs hat, we’ve put together some pizza guidance and best practises for our dough.
Our 500g Sourdough Pizza Dough is perfect for making pizza at home with all your favourite toppings.
Our Pizza Dough can be stored frozen! Just take the dough out of the freezer and put it in the fridge the night before you want to bake it so it has time to thaw out slowly.
Pizza Guidance:
Turn oven on to 475 F
Divide dough into 2 smaller dough balls or keep dough whole to make 1 large pizza.
Flour your hands, the surface you’re working on and the top of your pizza dough. Use one of 3 methods to shape your dough.
The stretching method, holding the dough in the air allow gravity to pull the dough thinner as you turn it in your hands to create your pizza's shape. Do this until the dough is almost see through.
Use a floured surface and rolling pin, we recommend throwing some flour on to your counter and on the top of the dough. Roll the dough into your desired pizza shape.
Mentioned earlier, the ol’ toss and spin is an option for the more advanced among us. You start with the stretching method then place your fists under the open dough and push up into the air with a spin in your wrist. It may be tempting to close your eyes but we recommend you don’t! ;)
Once the dough is the desired shape and thickness place it directly on a floured baking tray or in a preheated cast-iron pan.
Brush olive oil onto crust and spread pizza sauce and your favourite toppings evenly around the pizza.
Bake for 12-15 minutes on the bottom rack of your oven, keep an eye on your pizza and adjust cooking time as necessary.
Carefully remove from oven and slice into pieces.
Once sliced, we recommend a sprinkle of salt & pepper and a handful of fresh herbs like basil or fresh oregano to add a little something extra.
Enjoy! And don’t forget to tag us in your pizza dough creations!
