Homemade pizza is a great hearty snack that you can be sure is of great quality. But not everyone can make this dish perfect. Therefore, it is worth using one of the following cooking options, which are very easy to follow. The result will pleasantly surprise you.

Famous Ukrainian chef Yevgeny Klopotenko shared two simple ideas for making a universal pizza dough with yeast and kefir on his official website.

Classic yeast pizza dough

Ingredients:

• flour (and extra for kneading the dough) - 300 g
• live/pressed yeast - 20 g (or 8-10 g of dry yeast)
• water - 180 ml
• sugar - 0.5 tsp
• salt - 1 tsp
• olive oil - 2.5 tbsp.

Method of preparation:

1. Add salt and sugar to a bowl with sifted flour and mix well.

2. Add yeast and rub everything well with your hands.

3. Add warm water and olive oil.

4. Heat the water to 38 degrees. This is the optimal temperature for yeast activation. If the water is not warm enough, the yeast will not start working, and if the water is too hot, the yeast will die.

5. Knead a soft dough that will not stick to your hands.

6. Cover the top with a napkin.

7. Put in a warm place for 40-45 minutes to let the dough rise. The mass should increase by 2-3 times.

8. After that, knead the dough well with your hands and put it on a work surface sprinkled with flour.

9. Knead until smooth.

10. If necessary, divide into pieces and roll out.

11. Add the filling and bake at 180 degrees for 5-7 minutes.
