Hi, guys in this video I will show you how to make a takeaway style pizza at home.
It is a step by step video which you can follow easily if you need to, so without further
ado, lets start lets start making pizza.
Step one: First activate the dry east, With dry yeast, if your water is too cold, the
yeast will not activate.
again, if your water is too hot, you will kill the little buggers and they will be useless.
Keep the water temperature around 40*c/105F which you will feel nice and warm with your
finger.
With fresh yest you need to use close to double the amount of dry yest and you dont neet to
activate.
When the yeast is rasing use the time to messure all the dry and wet ingridients.
I will leave the full recipe in the description which will be easy for you to follow.
I am going to use a mixer but its same result with hand kneading.
Just a bit of workout.
So in your dry mix add the yeast, water and start mixing slowly.
I usually add a bit of oliveoil and milk while mixing, which makes the pizza crust really
soft in the middle and crunchy outside.
Mixing with the machine takes around 8 to 9 minutes.
But hand kneading may take 10 to 15 minutes.
Once it is done just give it a shape and let it rise for 35 to 40 minutes.
Step 2: I always use the time when my dough is raising to do all the chopping and preparing
the sauce.
I don't think you need recipe for your toppings, just use your favourite toppings you like.
Step 3: Separate them into individual portions according
to your pizza size.
You can even keep one in the fridge for next day.
Some people like to give another 15 minutes to raise the dough at this stage but if you
can't resist just make it straight away.
To make the pizza you don't really need to be a super pizza flipper, as long as you can
get a nice pizza shape you want, it can be by pressing and pulling or stretching on the
fist or just using a rolling pin.
Make sure to dust your table with flour and corn mill to get a nice shop like crust.
Using a pizza tray is great as it gives even heat from the top and bottom, but you can
even do it on a normal baking tray, just control the heat and make it hotter from the bottom.
Making little holes is really important otherwise it will make huge bubbles and that can ruin
the shape of the pizza.
The tomato sauce I have is homemade and I will have the recipe in the description below
if you need.
While I am topping up with my favourite pizza toppings you guys can do me a little favour
by smashing the like button.
Also if you have any question or opinion feel free to drop them in the comment and I will
answer them soon.
Step 4: Baking Make sure to preheat the oven as usual.
For a good pizza, you need at least 200 to 230 c temperature.
In any case, if the pizza base is not cooked properly finish it off on the stove on a slow
heat.
In my case pizza cooked beautifully, now its time to smash it.
Before I do that I wanna show you the crust how nice it is.
Also, the cheese makes it different so try to use grated mozzarella and cheddar which
is normally used in the pizza shops and that makes a big difference.
I hope you make it and enjoy it and see you in the next one.
Peace
