pizza dough

Tossable crust starter

Pizza dough is the raw mixture of flour, water, yeast, and salt that forms the base of a pizza.

The dough is stretched or rolled flat, then topped and baked.

Good pizza dough develops flavor through fermentation and achieves the right balance of chewiness and crispness.

She let the pizza dough rise overnight in the fridge.
