So, one wonders why it turns out this way: you’re going to make a pizza, but what comes out is a hot sandwich? What do Italians put in their dough, or what secrets do they know that result in a thin, crispy base that melts in your mouth? Let's look into this issue. So, real pizza should be baked in a wood-fired oven. There the desired temperature regime is created (485 degrees). In such an oven, pizza is baked in one and a half minutes. But don't despair. We can approximate the conditions for baking products even in the presence of an ordinary oven - gas or electric. But Italian pizza dough requires the most effort. This is where you have to work. Because everything else - making the filling and the baking process - is mere nonsense. So, put on an apron and get to work.
If you want your Italian pizza dough to be as close to perfect as possible, and you only have a gas oven, stock up on two baking sheets. Place the mold with the product on top. Place an empty baking sheet underneath. It will heat up and release heat upward, thereby compensating for the rather low temperature of conventional ovens (up to 250 degrees). You can use a stone instead of a baking sheet. And, naturally, it is necessary to increase the baking time - about ten minutes. The crusts - those served in an Italian pizzeria - should be thin and moderately crispy. But there are many lovers of thick and fluffy dough. Externally, the product resembles an ordinary baked goods, but how satisfying! In some regions of Italy, pizza dough is made without yeast. Here we will look at a variety of recipes.
Take a bowl that is not too large and pour a glass of boiled warm water into it. Dissolve a pinch of salt and two teaspoons of sugar in it. Add the yeast. It is better that the bacterial culture is fresh. Then we need 25 grams. If you are using dry yeast, you will need one teaspoon. This is a dough. Sprinkle it with one tablespoon of flour. We put it in a place where it is warm and there are no drafts. When foam appears on the surface, it means the yeast has fermented and it’s time to prepare the pizza dough. The Italian recipe instructs us to pour two cups of flour into a large bowl, salt it a little and pour in three soup spoons of oil (olive, of course). Add the dough to a large bowl. Let's start kneading. It is very important to feel the density of the dough with your hands. No cook will tell you exactly how much flour you will need - after all, the properties of different varieties are very different. The dough should become plastic and pliable. If it is too liquid, add more flour; if it is rubbery, add water. Knead for at least ten minutes.
Rolling out dough for authentic Italian pizza
This is a real art, since we don't have to use a rolling pin. But first you need to let the test come up. Grease a bowl with vegetable oil. Form the dough into a bun. We also grease it with oil and place it in a bowl. Cover with cling film and put in a warm place. What's happening? After an hour or an hour and a half, the dough will have risen to approximately three times in volume. We crush it and divide it into parts. Typically this amount of dough makes three pizza crusts. Grease a baking sheet with olive oil and preheat the oven to maximum. Sprinkle the countertop with flour and lay out the first piece of dough. We form a flat cake. Using your knuckles, pull it out over the edges until you get Italian pizza dough - thin in the middle, thicker at the edges. Stretch the cake and give it a round shape. Transfer to a baking sheet. Grease with tomato paste, decorate with filling, sprinkle with cheese. Curl the edges of the pizza up and place the baking sheet in the oven.
Lush cakes
This recipe also has its “adherents”. In a jug, mix a glass (225 ml) of warm water with two tablespoons of olive oil (you can use a mixer). In a large bowl, mix 300 grams of flour, a pinch of salt, and a teaspoon of dry yeast. Add water and oil from the jug. Knead until smooth. Place on a floured countertop. Continue kneading for about three more minutes. Transfer the bun to a bowl greased with olive oil, cover with film and place in a warm place protected from drafts. After forty minutes, when the fluffy Italian pizza dough has doubled in size, take it out and knead it again. Roll out with a rolling pin to make a circle with a diameter of 30 centimeters.
Yeast-free dough
This is exactly what the base should be like to make a real Italian pizza. Dough without yeast is made in various ways, but they all boil down to one thing: beer bacteria are replaced with fermented milk bacteria. Here is the first recipe: with sour cream. Beat two eggs with a spoon of salt. Dissolve soda in a glass of sour cream (on the tip of a knife). Melt two tablespoons of butter. We connect all three components. Gradually add two cups of flour and knead the dough. It should be elastic and pliable. Roll it out and place it on a baking sheet greased with vegetable oil. We decorate the pizza and bake it. The cakes will come out moderately fluffy.
Italian pizza dough without yeast (with milk)
In a large bowl, mix two cups of flour and a spoonful of salt. In a separate container, beat two eggs, warm milk (100 milliliters) and olive oil (two tablespoons, no more). Pour this mixture into the flour. Stir slightly until smooth. Transfer to a work surface sprinkled with flour. Knead for about ten minutes. The dough will be sticky at first, but will become smooth and elastic. Wet the towel with cold water until it is damp (but not wet). Wrap the bun in it and leave for a quarter of an hour. After this, knead and roll into a thin layer. This pizza base will come out crispy, like puff pastry.
I've always believed that pizza requires special ovens and special dough. When I watched how they made it in restaurants, I saw a lot of professional equipment and didn’t even think that such dough could be made at home. After all, the dough is the basis on which it depends whether you get a real pizza or not.
It turns out that it is possible. And there are so many ways to make real dough at home.
In our family, the love for this dish is divided into two camps: the children like the dough to be thicker, and my wife and I believe that the main thing is the filling, and the dough should not be the main focus.
If you share the adult point of view, then let me tell you how to prepare dough without yeast at home so that it turns out the same as in a pizzeria.
Pizza dough without yeast on water - 5 minute recipe
Let's start with my favorite and probably the simplest recipe. If you have sausage, tomatoes and cheese in the refrigerator, you want something tasty, but don’t want to go to the store, then this method of preparing dough will help you out.
It is done quickly, literally in 5-10 minutes, depending on your culinary skills.
Ingredients:
- 2 cups of flour
- 1 egg
- 200 ml water
- 20 ml refined sunflower oil
- Sugar - 1 tsp
- Salt - 1 tsp
- Baking powder - 1 tsp
If you are annoyed that the quantity is given in glasses and you do not understand how much it is in grams, because... glasses are all different, then I’ll tell you a little secret - the Soviet cut glass has historically been accepted as the standard measure “glass”. Its capacity is 200 ml (to the rim) or 250 ml (if filled to the brim)
Preparation:
1. Break an egg into a bowl. Add salt and sugar and mix thoroughly.
2. Add vegetable oil to a bowl.
The oil must be refined so that there is no specific smell.
3. And a glass of water. Stir until smooth.
The water should be warm, but not hot. So that you can dip your finger into it.
4. Prepare the dough.
Add a teaspoon of baking powder to the flour. Mix a little.
Slowly pour the previously prepared mixture into the flour, stirring at the same time.
5. Now mix the flour thoroughly, knead and roll it out with your hands until you get a homogeneous piece of dough.
The total amount of dough will be enough for you to prepare three bases with a diameter of 27 cm (this is the diameter of a standard frying pan).
If you want to make only one pizza, divide the dough into 3 parts, take one part for cooking, and put the other two in a bag in the freezer until the next time you cook. You can store the dough frozen for as long as you like without losing its taste.
6. Take the remaining piece of dough and roll it out with a rolling pin to a thickness of 3-5 millimeters.
7. After that, all that remains is to place it on a greased frying pan and shape it with your hands into the shape of this very frying pan (so that the filling does not spread).
Under no circumstances should the frying pan be made of cast iron. You should try to find a frying pan with the thinnest walls, such as pancake pans. This is necessary so that the dough has time to bake and the cheese does not have time to dry out.
The base is ready, put your favorite foods in it and put it in the oven.
Baking rules:
- The readiness of the pizza is determined by the readiness of the cheese. As soon as it melts and gurgles, it’s ready. This usually takes about 10 minutes at maximum oven temperature. The frying pan should be placed on the lowest shelf (in a gas oven).
- If the filling contains any products that require heat treatment (onions, chicken, meat), then they must be fried first, because even the onions will not have time to cook in 10 minutes of baking.
- Don't forget that before you put the ingredients on the dough, you need to grease it with tomato paste or ketchup. You can try to make a special sauce yourself, but more often than not, you end up with tomato paste.
- The cheese is placed twice - the first time on the sauce, the second - as a final layer on top of all the ingredients. In both cases, use the same amount of cheese.
How to make dough with milk or kefir
If you want the dough to be more tender, you can use milk or kefir instead of water. There is not much difference between these two ingredients and their quantities in the recipe are the same.
Ingredients:
- Kefir (milk) – 500 ml
- Wheat flour - 650 g
- Eggs - 2 pcs
- Soda - 0.5 tsp
- Salt - 0.5 tsp
- Refined sunflower oil - 2 tbsp
Preparation:
1. Pour kefir (or milk) into a bowl, break the eggs there and add vegetable oil. Whisk the mixture.
2. Add soda and salt to the mixture and beat well again.
3. Add a third of the flour.
There is no need to add all the flour at once, otherwise it will be difficult to get rid of the formed lumps
4. Start stirring the dough with a spoon, adding flour little by little. When the dough turns into one lump, continue to knead it and knead it with your hands.
5. You need to stir the dough until it stops sticking.
After this, lightly sprinkle the dough with flour. It does not require proofing and you can immediately start making pizza.
Recipe for yeast-free dough without eggs on water
A very simple, but no less tasty option in case there is no kefir or eggs in the refrigerator, but you still want pizza.
Ingredients:
- Wheat flour - 1 cup (or 230 g)
- Baking powder - 1 tsp
- Salt - 0.5 tsp
- Water – 100 ml
- Olive oil - 4 tbsp (sunflower can be used)
Preparation:
1. Add salt and baking powder (or soda) to the bowl with flour and mix with a spoon.
2. Make a small depression in the flour and pour in warm water and vegetable oil.
3. Mix all ingredients. First we do this with a spoon, and then knead the dough with our hands.
4. As a result, we get a very soft, plastic and pliable mass. Before you start rolling out the dough, let it rest for about 20 minutes and start preparing the filling. During this time, the baking powder in the dough will begin to work and it will turn out soft and airy.
Pizza dough without yeast step by step video recipe
Well, for those who are interested in the nuances of preparation and the finished filling, I suggest watching a detailed video recipe that reveals a lot of interesting things.
In the following articles we will pay more attention to the filling and its correct selection and combination to make it tasty and healthy.
Thank you for your attention.
Pizza is a dish loved by many people. Naturally, there are many pizzerias, cafes, and you can even order it and have it delivered straight to your home. But, undoubtedly, the most delicious will be the one prepared at home with your own hands.
But not every housewife likes to cook flour products - yeast-based dough is not always obtained. But you can prepare it without using yeast. The soft one is just as tasty and airy as when using them. Its basis is kefir, which, when interacting with baking soda, gives the same tenderness and airiness. The main thing is that everything is done very quickly, and if guests unexpectedly come to you, you can please them with delicious pizza prepared in a short time. The fillings can be very different, from greens to mushrooms and ham. It all depends on the preferences of the family or guests.
There are many dough recipes, here are some of them.
Yeast-free pizza dough
This method is very simple. Its main advantage is that the filling is not only on the surface, but also in the pizza itself. This makes it even tastier.
To prepare the dough without yeast you will need:
- Kefir, sour milk or sour cream is also suitable instead - 400 g.
- Eggs – 2 pieces.
- Baking soda - half a teaspoon.
- Wheat flour - two and a half glasses.
- Fine salt - half a teaspoon.
- A little vinegar to quench the soda.
- Filling to taste.
The soda is quenched with vinegar, added to the total mass and mixed. The pizza turns out more tender and lighter if the flour is first sifted through a sieve. It is poured in small parts, while thoroughly mixing until smooth.
There will be enough dough for a large baking sheet. You need to cover it with parchment paper. The dough is laid out and the filling is placed on it.
The pizza is baked in a preheated oven until golden brown.
Dough without yeast on kefir with butter
The next method differs in the ingredients and method of preparation, but the dish turns out just as tasty.
You will need:
- Kefir – 100 g.
- Soda – 1 level teaspoon.
- Vegetable oil – 20 g.
- Egg – 1 piece.
- Wheat flour – 500 g.
- A pinch of salt.
Kefir is poured into a fairly deep container, salt and about half of all the flour are added. Add eggs to the mixture, separately beaten until foamy. Next, add half the oil.
Constantly stirring the dough, add flour in small portions. There should be no lumps in the mass. If necessary, you can add the remaining oil at the end.
The dough should not be too liquid, but not too thick either. After kneading, it must be left for 15 minutes at room temperature.
A thin layer is rolled out and the filling is laid out on top. It can be anything: vegetable, mushroom or with different types of sausage.
Before baking the pizza, the oven must be preheated to 180 degrees. Just before it's ready, sprinkle it with cheese.
Unleavened dough with butter
It turns out fluffy, light and perfectly baked.
For it you will need:
- Flour – 350 g.
- A fourth of a teaspoon each of salt and soda.
- Eggs – 2 pieces.
- Butter – 150-200 g.
- Kefir - about one glass.
The eggs are beaten, then salt is added and beaten again. Kefir is poured into a deep cup, baking soda slaked with vinegar is added to it, then beaten eggs and everything is mixed well. The mass should be homogeneous. Next, flour is added in small parts. This is necessary in order to achieve the desired consistency - it should be liquid. The last thing to add is butter, previously melted in a water bath. If necessary, you can add a little flour, but in the end the mass should be like thick sour cream. The dough will be fluffy due to the interaction of soda with kefir.
I wonder why this happens: you try one pizza and can’t tear yourself away, but when you eat a piece of another, it’s not at all as if there’s something missing in it. What really is the secret of delicious pizza? Do you think in the filling? You are wrong, it’s all about the test and only about it. To make the pizza truly tasty, you need to properly prepare the dough, which can be varied in its recipe, but it is this dough that will influence the final result of the dish you prepare.
The simplest version of the dough is without yeast. It is without their presence that the dough turns out thin and crispy. By the way, this is exactly the recipe that Italians use. Any housewife can prepare pizza dough without yeast at home without any problems. The main advantage of this pizza dough is that it bakes much faster than yeast dough, which means it will take you much less time to prepare the pizza than usual.
It can be simple unleavened, with sour cream, butter or with the addition of cottage cheese. Pizza dough with sour cream turns out tender and crumbly, and with the addition of cottage cheese it turns out soft and airy. You can also prepare pizza dough without yeast using kefir, beer or mineral water. Each type of pizza dough has its own individual taste. Arguing about which dough is better is just a waste of time. It is much easier to prepare each of the dough recipes we offer in turn and choose the one that suits your taste and liking.
