Video Notes Warm water – yeast loves warmth so it helps the dough rise faster. Sugar – it helps the dough rise and iron the crust. If you’re using active dry yeast, allow the yeast enough time to bubble up and become active, this could take few minutes. To proof your yeast allow the mixture to bubble up, by leaving it to set for few minutes after mixing. Salt – for flavorless pizza because nobody like a bland pizza. Knead the dough for 5 minutes with hands OR 3 minutes if you’re using a mixer. Oil – it helps keep the crust tender and crisp. Once the dough has risen, use immediately or refrigerate unto 5 days for even better flavor. Use a soft touch – if you flatten the dough to death you’ll end up with a dry, super crisp crust. Pizza crust should be stretched, pulled and pushed outwards.
