Pizza Dough Method
If you don’t have much time, grab a premade pizza base at your local grocery store, or hand make your own pizza dough following the simple steps below. Some shops even carry premade pizza dough in balls.
- Whisk the lukewarm water and yeast in a plastic or glass jug. Let the mixture stand for approx. five minutes.
- Add the salt and flour in a large bowl. Create a hollow centre in the flour. Slowly pour the liquid yeast mixture and oil.
- Using your hands or a mixer, mix the dough until smooth. Pour dough on a lightly floured work surface and then knead by hand for five minutes.
- Place dough into lightly oiled bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Sit in a warm place for roughly 30 minutes to an hour, to rise until it doubles in size.
- Fold the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead gently by hand for around five minutes or until smooth.
- Divide the dough roughly into equal amounts. Roll out pizza bases for the desired size.
- Spread some flour on kitchen bench before rolling, in order to prevent sticking.

About Chocolate
Chocolate is made from Cacao bean. The Aztecs valued the cacao bean so highly, they used it as currency. There is evidence that humans in Ecuador were eating cacao products around 5000 years ago.
Chocolate is time consuming to make, and it takes about 400 beans to make a single pound of Chocolate. 70 percent of the world’s cacao comes from Africa. Dark chocolate contains heaps of antioxidants, which help your cardiovascular system.
Pizza Tools
When making Chocolate Strawberry Pizza, it’s always handy to have the right pizza making tools. Here’s what items I always recommend…
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.
Strawberries
Strawberries are firm, sweet and juicy red fruit, and is one of over 20 species of flowering plants in the Rose family. Strawberries don’t need to be red; there are plenty of other colours for strawberries.
Strawberries contain more vitamin C than oranges. They are low in calories and also high in vitamins C, B6 and K. Believe it or not, some people have Fragariaphobia, which is a fear of strawberries.
Pizza Care
Need advice on storing pizza. Here goes!
Freezer guide

Store in the fridge
Leftover slices of pizza may be kept in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
Warm in the center of a 450 degree F oven for approximately 6 minutes, on a pizza stone if possible, until heated through. See our article on reheating pizza for more.
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.
Which pizza was created to represent the italian flag?
The Pizza Margherita was created in 1889, when Margherita di Savoia, the new queen of Italy, visited Naples. A famous local chef created a pizza using ingredients to match the new flag and named it Margherita.
Can I use pastry flour instead of 00 flour for making pizza dough?
Yes, you can, however you will find that bread flour would be a better choice. In order of preference, I would suggest 00 flour, bread flour then pastry flour. If it’s all you have, then give it a shot, and maybe search for a pizza dough recipe that calls for pastry flour.
How long can pizza sit out?
You shouldn’t leave pizza out in the open uncovered, for more than a few hours. In fact, I would put it in an air tight container within an hour, if it weren’t being eaten.
