Even a beginner can make pizza at homehousewife, you just need to learn some rules and features of kneading dough. Usually all failures begin with mistakes in its preparation. The filling implies, firstly, a flight of fantasy, and secondly, as a rule, everyone puts their favorite ingredients in it. Accordingly, it cannot be tasteless by definition. The composition of the dough is extremely simple: water, flour, yeast, sugar, salt, olive oil. The trick is in the proportions. As for flour, any experienced cook knows that it is impossible to determine the exact amount. If the recipe says that you will need 3 cups of flour, then you do not need to measure these cups with maniacal precision - sometimes less flour will be needed, sometimes more, and the notorious "3 cups" is nothing more than the amount from which you need to start. Before preparing the dough at home, prepare all the ingredients - they should be at hand so that in the process you do not have to look for salt, sugar, etc., etc. It is also important to understand the method of laying out the ingredients of the filling. The first layer is always sauce, then the rest of the ingredients, the last layer is cheese. The invariable components of pizza toppings are cheese and tomatoes, everything else is optional. Pizza is baked in the oven at fairly high temperatures. If you have prepared a fluffy base and plan to use a large amount of toppings, you can bake the dough a little and only then put the toppings on. This way you can avoid damp, underbaked dough. This sometimes happens when using a thick base and voluminous toppings.
