Notes

  • Before making pizza always make sure your yeast is active. It is the main ingredient.
  • You may use either active dry yeast or Instant Yeast.
  • If using Instant Yeast you may directly mix them with flour and use them.
  • If using active dry yeast you may have to activate it first and then use it. For activating dry yeast you have to soak them in lukewarm water along with a tsp of sugar and leave for 5 mins. It gets activated in 5 mins.
  • Always check the expiry date of yeast and make sure you store them properly after every use.
  • You can also use naan as the pizza base. Naan pizzas are getting popular these days.No need to proof the dough, you just can use them add toppings, and bake.
  • Feel free to add or customize the toppings per your preference.
