Hi guys,
I need some help making home made pizza from scratch, Ive been buying the pre made pizza with the cardboard tasting bases which im fed up with so ive tried to make my own but i'm having a few issues sauce and mainly the dough.
I can never get it right, first few times I made the dough I could never get it to rise, hard to stretch and would cook like a biscuit, I used plain flower the first 2-3 times and I thought that was the reason, 4th I got some strong flour but had the same issue's, after scratching my head for few days I checked the date on the yeast (out of date) so I tried again after buying some new yeast, this time dough rised well but i'm still having issues with it cooking like a biscuit.
Ive been trying to make thin crust or the normal.
Im not sure if im stretching it too thin or cooking it too long
this is the recipe ive been using
Ingredients
