Start the clock. This was a personal pizza making test. How long would it take to turn flour, salt, water and yeast into pizza dough? The mixing part is easy give or take a few minutes, but the dough needs to proof or rise in volume. Typically we do this over night, but if we add a bit more yeast and warmer water we can double the dough size in a couple of hours. Interesting right?
Another step we can bypass is making dough balls. Instead we will remove dough from bowl and immediately stretch or roll it out into a pizza. Watch the video and see for yourself.
