Notes
Ingredient Notes
Flour: All-purpose flour works well for this recipe, but for a chewier crust, consider using bread flour. Its higher protein content provides more elasticity, resulting in a chewier texture.
Yeast: Active dry yeast is ideal for homemade pizza dough. Ensure your yeast is fresh; expired yeast won’t allow your dough to rise properly.
Pickles: The type of pickles you choose will significantly influence the flavor. Dill pickles provide a strong, sharp taste, while bread-and-butter pickles offer a sweeter, more complex flavor.
Cheese: Mozzarella is a must for its melting qualities, but don’t hesitate to add other cheeses like gouda or sharp cheddar for added depth. Ricotta adds creaminess, while Parmesan gives a salty, nutty finish.
