Homemade pizza dough

Pizza Dough Method

If you don’t have much time, grab a premade pizza base at your local grocery store, or craft your own homemade pizza dough following the simple steps below.

  1. Whisk yeast and lukewarm water in a jug. Stand for around five minutes.
  2. Add flour and salt in a large bowl. Create a well in the centre of the flour. Pour in the liquid yeast mixture and the oil.
  3. Using a spatula, or your hands, mix the dough really well until smooth. Turn out dough onto a lightly floured work surface and knead for five minutes.
  4. Lightly oil a bowl, and place dough in it and cover with plastic wrap. Leave in a warm place to rise for 30 minutes to an hour, or until it doubles in size.
  5. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently for another 5 minutes or until smooth.
  6. Divide the dough into balls, and roll out bases to desired size.
  7. Sprinkle a little flour on the bench before rolling to prevent dough from sticking.

Preparing Beef Pizza

Preheat your oven to at least 450 degrees for 30 minutes or longer.

Spread out pizza dough on floured surface.

If you have a pizza peel, you can create your pizza on it (after flouring).

Start by spreading the sauce all over the base. This pizza uses Béarnaise Sauce. Spread the Béarnaise Sauce Thinly yet evenly, leaving a margin for the crust.

Add the largest toppings first – typically meat or seafood, then the smaller toppings.

Add cheese last, and sprinkle it all over to help keep the toppings in place when it melts.

This pizza has the following toppings:

  • Beef Fillet
  • Onion

This pizza is flavorsome on its own, or why not try it with other pizza types?

About Onion

Ancient Egyptians saw onions as a symbol of eternal life because of the circular layers. Farmed and eaten for at least 5,000 years, Onions have been used as medicine, food and even helped in Egyptian mummification.
The three most common onion colors are white, red and yellow. Onions are easy to grow, store and are cheap and full of flavour, making them very popular across the world. China consumes nearly 25% of the world’s onions every year.

Pizza Tools

When making Beef Pizza, I suggest you just use what you have available, without spending any money. My recommended basic pizza tool list is…

Dough Containers

Dough storage containers must be of high quality and airtight.

Quality Food Containers

Leftovers need to go somewhere, and I don’t enjoy using aluminium foil or plastic wrap all the time. A couple of good air tight containers should be in every home.

Pizza Peel

Sometimes called a paddle or shovel, a pizza peel is a vital tool for those who make pizza regularly.

Pizza making FAQ

Want to make delicious pizzas at home? Here are some expert answers to some of the most common pizza making questions.

Do I just use tap water for pizza dough?

Sure, however water quality can be an issue in some areas. If your water has high chlorine content, it may inhibit yeast growth. I often use cooled water from the kettle, or filtered water when making pizza dough. Don’t use boiling water though, as it will kill your yeast before it even starts its work.

Where is the world’s oldest pizza parlor?

The worlds oldest pizza parlour, which still operates today, is Pizzeria Port’Alba, in Naples, Italy. It first opened in 1830. The date is actually further back, as the true established date began in 1738, where Antica opened as a food stand for peddlers.

How do I find the best pizza dough recipe, given there are so many?
