Ingredients for Homemade Pizza Dough

All pizza dough begins with the same ingredients: flour and yeast; water; salt and olive oil. Here is a breakdown of the ingredients that you can use to make homemade pizza dough recipes.

Use Red Star Platinum yeast. This amazing yeast gives me the best results. Platinum yeast is great because it has a precise formula that strengthens your dough. It also makes working with yeast easy. To get the job done, you only need one standard packet of yeast (2/4 teaspoons).
Water: Try this recipe with different amounts of water as you prefer. The perfect amount is between 1 and 1/3 cups. Warm the water a little bit. This will reduce the rise time. It should be adjusted between 100 and 110 degrees F. Any temperature above 130oF will kill the yeast.
Flour: This recipe needs whole white all-purpose flour. Bleaching flour will reduce the amount of protein in the flour, which can affect the flour's ability to absorb water. Bread flour can be substituted for all-purpose flour to make a more chewy pizza crust. However, you will need to add a few extra Tablespoons water because bread flour has more protein than all-purpose flour.
Oil: Add a couple of Tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil to enhance the flavor of the dough. The crust will not taste soggy if you brush it with olive oil before you add the toppings.
Salt: Salt gives you the necessary flavor.
Sugar: 1 Tablespoon of sugar can increase the yeast activity. It will tenderize the dough when it gets mixed with the olive oil.
Cornmeal: Cornmeal can be used to dust the pizza pan, but not in the dough. Cornmeal adds a bit of flavor to the pizza crust and makes it crisper. Cornmeal is a common ingredient in most delivery pizzas.
