Pizza dough is often considered a labor of love, requiring time, patience, and traditional techniques rooted in Italy’s rich culinary heritage. Classic recipes can take days of fermentation in wooden containers, but with D'BakerAid, the process becomes effortless. Now, you can create delicious, homemade pizza with ease, whether it’s a classic Margherita, a loaded meat lover’s, or a creative veggie medley. Say goodbye to takeout and hello to artisan pizza, made simple with D’BakerAid!

Ingredients:

• 2 cups of all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon of sugar
• 1 teaspoon of salt
• 1 tablespoon of olive oil
• 1 packet (2 1/4 teaspoons) of active dry yeast
• 3/4 cup of warm non-chlorinate water

Instructions:

1. Activate the Yeast:

• In the D'Yeast 2.5L bowl, combine yeast, sugar, and water. Close the lid.
• Select the yeast fermentation program that matches your yeast type (Fresh, Instant, or Dry).
• Let the program run to completion to ensure the yeast is fully activated.

2. Prepare the Dough:

• Once the yeast is activated, pour the mixture into the D'Dough 4.5L bowl.
• Add flour, salt, and olive oil.
• Mix manually in the D'Dough bowl or use a standing mixer until smooth and elastic.

3. Dough Proofing:

• Keep the dough in the D'Dough 4.5L bowl and cover it with the lid.
• Select a proofing program that matches your dough type (White, Mixed, Whole Grain, or Sourdough).
• Let the dough rise until the program completes. For extra fermentation, repeat the program 1-2 more times, as pizza dough benefits from extra attention and patience.
• During the second proofing, gently fold the dough every 15 minutes until the program completes.

4. Preheat, Shape & Bake with Steam:

• Fill the D’Steamer with water (about 80%) and close the lid.
• Place the D’Steamer on the left or right side of your oven (not in the middle).
• Preheat your oven to its highest temperature (500°F / 260°C). Allow 10-15 minutes for the oven to heat up and the D’Steamer to start evaporating.
• Divide the risen dough into portions and shape into rounds or rectangles on a floured surface.
• Add your favorite pizza toppings.
• Transfer the pizza onto a preheated pizza stone or baking sheet.
• Bake until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly (about 8-10 minutes).
