Steps: 1) yeast (15 min): 1/2 cup lukewarm water + 2 tsp dry active yeast + 1 tsp sugar (gentle stir) 2) In bowl: 1.5 lbs high protein bread flower + 1 tBsp olive oil + 2 tsp salt + 1.25 cup water + yeast (from 1) stir until dough 3) dump out of bowl and knead (roll and roll until smooth) 4) place in covered bowl from (2). Wait until risen double (20 min?)
I've never made anything with yeast before or even any dough for that matter. I followed this recipe with a dash of common sense and made the best pizza I've ever had. Thanks Susan!
I watched this video from the beginning. Believe me. It looks easy but this is not a piece of cake to do. This woman has lots of experience doing this amazing job. Congratulations.
Well we have been making pizza's for years and have always searched for the right base. we've bought them, made them, done everything we thought was right but could never reproduce the right dough. "How could something apparently so simple be so hard to get right?" My kids tell me that we have the best creative toppings they've ever tried but we fail at the base...it usually turns out like a biscuit!! right up until now. Thank you for such a detailed description and example of how to get it right. We tried this; painstakingly following your recipe and methods and they turned out better than expected by everyone's standards. We now know we can go to Belize and cook in our own stone and wood fired pizza oven and turn out a pizza worthy of its inventors..thanks so much for filling a long time gap and resolving our frustrations..
Thank you for this great video. Love your kneading technique. Also, being able to see what the dough looks like when the kneading is done is perfect. I followed the recipe exactly and kneaded it for 8 minutes and then put it in the bowl. The texture of mine did not look exactly like yours so its time to make it again and knead a little while longer next time. Once it was completed the dough was easier to stretch than any other pizza dough recipe I have tried so far. The technique for shaping the rim crust is great too. Thanks so much for this great 'go-to' video.
Thank you so much for the best pizza dough recipe! The best, the greatest, and the finest recipe I found in the whole internet not only on YT. Thank you, thank you, and thank you. You are my hero!
Thanks that helped a lot. I'm mesmerized by the fact that your dough never gets stuck to your hands at all. I guess you get the mix of flour and liquid right on from the get go.
I watched many videos on pizza dough and read many recipes, yours is the best explanation of them all! I add 1 tsp each of basil and garlic to my dough and use bread flour
I have tried a variety of recipes for pizza dough and this is the very best of all I have seen and tried. Very clear directions and the result is always perfect! Crispy, perfect pizzas as a result. Many thanks.
As a novice pizza maker I wanted to thank you for your videos. Shooting of videos is great as are your explanations and technique. Some vids just move too fast for newbies. With your help I think my process will be greatly improved. I've subscribed and will recommend your channel.
Michele Phie make more pizza. no such thing as leftover dough. dont you know that leftover pizza tastes better than freshly made pizza? haha. I had some left over and forgot it on the counter the dough outer layer got hard. you can always bake some bread sticks from the leftover or pretzels. that you can always heat up later.
Michele Phie if you leave dough to prove over night, it will develop a larger depth of flavour and you can incorperate it into a fresh batch of dough during the kneading process if you do not have enough. this is called a poolish. french bakers in particular, use a poolish with baguettes. my understanding is that they take 100 grams of dough (i am not sure what that is in imperial measurements) and incorperate it in there next batch the day after, and repeat the process for that batch and so on. this means that over time, the poolish develops a real complex depth flavour as it is constantly added to in a sustainable cycle and therefore the baguettes taste more and more complex. ultimately though, the be all and end all is using a starter culture (also called a sourdough starter or chef in france) which is naturally fermented flour and water. this works, because the flour containes yeast naturally and when mixed with water (the catalyst) the yeast creates carbon dioxide as it feeds off the sugars in the flour. this is fermentation which is a bit like cheese making when you initially add the starter culture to the milk. the micro organisms break down the lactose into glucose and galactose and ferment the milk, giving it flavour. for baking in general and learning about the process of bread making i recommend "dough" by richard bertinet and for more advanced baking and in particular - sourdough baking, i recommend "tartine bread" by chad robertson. both books go in depth about the process of breadmaking.
ive never seen such a straight to the point, no bs tutorial on youtube before. the intro is done nicely by 7 seconds in then !bang! straight to the cooking. awesome! you can tell youve made pizza bases a million times before.
U r amazing! I watched your video when i was 20 yo (10years ago) and made pizza for the first time- everybody loved it!!!! Didnt made it since then.. now i'm gonna... and its still wonderful watching your video still here after all this years. Thank u for the simple recipe and instructions. ❤

Hi susan, thank you very much for uploading this video. I made today for my dinner. It worked very good!! Actually I made pizza dough yesterday (my first homemade pizza dough), and I couldn't make it round shape.. And today I found your video, and tried to make it. It went perfect!!!!! I made a little bit different from your ingredients. I used 250 g all purposed flour, 2 TBL olive oil, 5 g salt, 2 g dry yeast and 150 ml warm water. Then I knead it like you did
Wow! That was exclusive, Owesome, there isn't much words to describe how fabulous this video was. I am definitely going to Try making this recipe right now! Thank you so much!
Absolutely the best !!! I really want to thank you for this recipe , now I can't stop make pizza for my wife n kids n of course , my friends. Thank you again !!!
well, I really enjoy all the roll explanation, and I thing this is the greatest I have ever learn about pizza dough witch is in fact I did'nt know the name for it. So big thank you Susan for that.
First time making home made pizza base... it turned out perfect. I followed the recipe and the dough was so nice. My kids finished everything. Thank you so much for sharing the recipe. Easy to make and it's delicious. Bye bye store bought pizza base.
Thank you very much Susan! :) In my first try, my friends told me they thought I ordered pizza out. I am so happy. It was so easy to follow and easy to make... Thanks from South America, Paraguay
Susan, thank you so much for sharing this recipe, my pizza dough finally work out perfect after 6 times failed with other recipes. I take a risk to half the recipe, and turns out perfectly, just needed additional 20~30g more the bread flour. It's really a accomplishment for me, thank you again.
When ever I need to make pizza dough I always look for your video! And only yours, amazing recipe.All I can say is.......Thank you very much, Susan! :)
Susan hi I've been making pizza dough for years though always seeking new ones. I must say this is one of the better ones I've come across in a long time. I especially like your forming technique- it makes the best crust ever! I use a baking stone and this dough bakes perfectly at high temps. Thanks!!
Thank you for this video. Most recipes I've looked up call for using a food processor or mixer, which I have none of. I'm eager to try making my first pizza so I was getting discouraged until I saw this video and noticed how easy it is to mix/knead it by hand. Motivation restored!
These are very amazing culinary techniques. I really am inspired at having been noticed this video on UA-cam. I would like to request the emerging food-gurus to pay a heed to this video for what needs to be inculcated before having to stroll on the kitchen. Kudos to you.

Saw this video today and went out and got the ingredients (£15) and made pizzas. I didn't follow the guidelines strictly but was well pleased with the results. Criticisms from the three boys were: Tomatoes on base needed to be liquidised.and it was too cheesy. That said the amount that I actually made could have fed an army so it isn't an expensive hobby and will make some more next week. Thank you Susan you've been a great help.XX
I have a food processor that is supposed to be the bomb...not so. Susan, you have proven what is done with the hands cannot be copied by a machine. Thank you so much for sharing your craft with me and the rest of the world.
Made this pizza dough for my first time making homemade pizza ever and it turned out fantastic! Was soft, well risen and tasty! Thanks for sharing!

This is the best pizza dough kneading technique I've very tried. Thanks Susan! I'm in love with your cooking. Mom from Canada
For best results, use a good quality bread flour weigh for accuracy. Good luck!

I really like how she gives instructions. She's really good.
Is there such a thing as "un kosher" salt?

Sea-salt. There are lobsters and shrimp in the sea. That is very un-Kosher.

Thanks!
just want you to know i come back to this video every time i make pizza from scratch. super helpful and detailed. thank you so much!
400-degree oven? Does that even exist?
Cory Simson
How and why? Is it for melting zinc or something?
Fahrenheit not celsius :/
+Fenrir Wolfe Standard ovens usually go from 400-475 and 500 is broil which uses the top elements.
mine is only 250 -degree😅😌
+Fenrir Wolfe ja, ich habe einen Umzutaufen, der Braten, Aufläufe, Broiler, Ich hatte es aus den USA zu bestellen. verflixt teuer, aber es lohnt sich.
Excellent!
Properly professional-- you know you can depend on these instructions!!!

Saw this video today and went out and got the ingredients (£15) and made pizzas.
I didn't follow the guidelines strictly but was well pleased with the results.
Criticisms from the three boys were: Tomatoes on base needed to be liquidised.and it was too cheesy.
That said the amount that I actually made could have fed an army so it isn't an expensive hobby and will make some more next week.
Thank you Susan you've been a great help.XX
I have a food processor that is supposed to be the bomb...not so. Susan, you have proven what is done with the hands cannot be copied by a machine. Thank you so much for sharing your craft with me and the rest of the world.
this video is awesome!! it helped me a lot in my first time making my own pizza.
The way you cook looks like beautiful art!
It really does!!
Wow! I so admire you...wish I could be as good as you do it. Thank you so much such an inspiration.
I bet they turned out great. I never made a homemade pizza, but will give it a try now. Thank you.
