Pizza is a very popular food, especially for children. It is also great for the homemaker, because the dough is not that difficult and can be topped to your heart's content. Sometimes, however, the pizza becomes too watery. Here we have a recipe for a pizza dough and information on how to keep the pizza from getting watery:

Recipe for Making Pizza Yourself

The dough makes 2 pizzas.

Pizza becomes too watery

Here are a few tips if the pizza gets too mushy:

  • Do not puree the tomato sauce
  • Dry the mozzarella first and do not put it on the pizza while it is soaking wet
  • Do not put too many toppings on it
  • Remove moisture from the ingredients: e.g., sauté mushrooms first (they lose their water in the process)
  • If you are preparing pizza yourself, it is recommended to first top the dough only with pizza sauce and cheese and to add the remaining toppings only five minutes before eating. This way, the pizza does not taste soggy and watery, and the ingredients, such as peppers or onions, do not lose as many important nutrients during the short heating time.

Ingredients

Ingredients for the topping

Preparation

  1. Pour 250 ml of lukewarm water into a measuring jug and crumble the yeast into it.

  2. Stir well with the pinch of sugar and salt.

  3. Let sit for 10 to 15 minutes.

  4. Now put the flour into a bowl, pour the liquid and the oil over the flour, and knead with the dough hook of a hand mixer for at least 5 minutes.

  5. If you want to knead it by hand, knead for at least 10 minutes until the dough is nice and smooth.

  6. Cover the dough in the bowl with a clean cloth and let it rise in a warm place (should be about 35° C) for about 40 minutes.

  7. Preheat the oven to 240° C top and bottom heat, or 220° C fan oven.

  8. Now halve the dough and roll it out on a floured work surface to the desired size (round or rectangular).

  9. Line the baking sheet with parchment paper and place the dough on it.

  10. Now you can top the dough as you like, first some tomato sauce and then whatever you like, such as ham, corn, salami, peppers, onions, tuna, etc.

  11. Bake the pizza in the preheated oven for approx. 15 minutes.

Tips & Notes

If you don't have fresh yeast at home, you can replace the cube of yeast (Germ) with 2 packets of dry yeast. As described above, stir the dry yeast into the water and let it sit. The only difference may be that you'll have to knead the dough 2-3 minutes longer, as it becomes nice and fluffy.
