Making A Perfect Pizza Base
- Use bread flour for that chewy authentic pizza base.
- Knead your dough well to help the gluten from in your dough.
- Allow you pizza dough to rest before beginning to roll, this will make your dough easier to work with and also give your pizza base a nicer texture, ideally leave your dough to rest overnight, it is best to leave it to rest in the fridge this help with the flavour of the dough.
- Stretching the dough with your hands and rolling out the dough with a rolling pin works well to get a nice flat pizza and shape your dough.
- Try not to overtop your pizza, I know it is tempting but this can prevent the base from baking properly and resulting in a watery and undercooked centre of your pizza.
