It doesn't have to be a recipe that requires you to let the dough rest for hours.
The whole process can also be completed in a relaxed manner in one evening.
The good thing: You only need six ingredients to make a delicious pizza dough - most of which everyone has at home anyway.
Ingredients for making your own pizza dough
For two pizzas you need:
250 milliliters of water (lukewarm)
1 pinch of sugar
2 tablespoons oil
500 grams of flour
1 cube of yeast
1 teaspoon salt
It's so easy to prepare your own pizza dough
First, grab a measuring cup and fill it with 250 milliliters of water - ideally lukewarm.
Add a pinch of salt and sugar and a cube of fresh yeast.
If you don't have this, replace it with dry yeast.
Stir in the ingredients and then let it stand for 15 minutes.
Put the flour in a bowl with a little salt.
Now you have to add oil and your liquid from the measuring cup over the flour and then knead the dough vigorously.
It will take you about five minutes with the hand mixer and about ten minutes with your hands.
In any case, knead until the dough is smooth.
Then cover the bowl and let it rest in a place with a warm temperature - 34 to 37 degrees - for 40 minutes.
In the meantime, you could, for example, take care of the later covering.
Cover your work surface - depending on the desired size of the pizza to be made, usually around 30 centimeters in diameter - with flour and, after halving it, roll out the dough on it.
You can do this with a rolling pin, but your own hands are even better.
Line two normal-sized trays with baking paper, place the dough on them and press it around the edges.
Then the creative part can begin.
Spread tomato sauce on the pizza dough and top with any ingredients you like.
