Pizza Tools
When making Buffalo Chicken Pizza, it’s always handy to have the right pizza making tools. Here’s the basic pizza tools that I always suggest…
Bench Scrapers
Good quality metal or plastic bench scrapers make it so much esier to both cut your dough, and scrape your bench. I prefer plastic to avoid scratching my bench.
Measuring Cups
Pizza making is all about precision, so having a full set of both wet and dry measuring cups on hand is critical. It is so important when making pizza dough to accurately measure all your ingredients.

Blue Cheese
The cultures of the mold Penicillium, gives Blue Cheese its unusual blue spots and veins. Mostly made from cow’s milk, Blue Cheese can also be made with goat’s milk or sheep’s milk.
Blue cheese is rich in calcium and other nutrients, however you should eat it in moderation, thanks to the high levels of sodium, saturated fat and high calories.

Pizza making FAQ
Want to know how to make fantastic pizza at home? Here are some FAQ and their answers to the most common pizza making questions.
How to defrost pizza dough?
You should defrost frozen pizza dough by leaving it in a warm place for at least a few hours. You can also then use the defrost mode on your microwave to speed up the process a little.
Can I make pizza without making pizza dough?
Absolutely! Just buy a premade base at your shopping centre, or even ask your local pizza store if they will sell you some bases or dough. It’s amazing how many people will willingly do this, to encourage you to start your homemade pizza hobby.
Can I use Baking Powder instead of yeast?
I don’t recommend using baking powder as a replacement at all. Baking powder is a chemical leavener. It isn’t the same as yeast at all. Yeast is an organism that enables pizza dough to develop richer flavors and texture. Types of bread that are made with chemical leaveners are a totally different texture than pizza.
