Tips:
• You can use instant yeast for dough, so no need to soak yeast in the warm water. You can add it directly into the flour or use packet instruction.
• Use always best quality yeast for best crust.
• Soak yeast always in the lukewarm water, do not use hot or cold water otherwise your Dough will not be raised double.
• You can use cheese block instead of string and cut into sticks for stuffing.
• You can store the dough in air tight container in refrigerator, and you can make pizza whenever you want. It can be stored for 1-2 weeks.
• If you don’t like soft base, then bake only base for 4-5 minutes with applying/brushing olive oil before topping, it will gives you best crispy crust, then add sauce and toppings and bake it again for 10-15 minutes.

If you’re in a pizzeria’s kitchen, you have probably viewed the same paddle tools the pros use to relocate pizzas out of the oven in preparation and move them back out of the oven. This one is called pizza peel and is especially useful when preparing homemade pizza on a rack or plate.
