How to make soft and fluffy Pizza base/ Pizza bread. Perfect dough making.
To prepare a soft and fluffy dough we need 4 cups of all-purpose flour. Into it add dry instant yeast 1 and a 1/2 teaspoons, salt 🧂 1 tablespoon, sugar 3 to 4 tablespoons, and mix all the dry ingredients nicely. Then by putting the bowl on the mixing stand set the speed at low and turn it on. Once it starts to mix, slowly add water into it and prepare a smooth soft dough. As the dough just starts to form add the melted butter into it and continue to mix. It takes a while to make the dough soft and elastic in consistency. You can easily see the difference by touching. If it's not sticky anymore and easy to stretch it's done kneading the dough. Use some oil in a bowl and transfer the dough into it. Apply some oil on top of it as well. Cover and keep inside the refrigerator overnight to let the yeast work slowly. The next morning the dough feels thick and rises up. Press it down and flatten to release the air. Then by folding the dough backwords prepare a ball and place it back in a container for about 10 to 15 minutes for proofing the dough. It rises a little bit after some time. Press it down again and it's ready to roll out on a tray.

Notes
Points to remember:
Use for mixer Keeping the speed level at low mix and prepare the dough.
It takes a while to prepare the dough for pizza, It should be kneaded until the dough feels stretchy/elastic to touch. It should feel soft and smooth, non-sticky as well.Â
Cover and refrigerate overnight for best results. As it helps the yeast to work nicely and slowly which provides structure to the bread.
Kneading well helps forms gluten into the dough which again provides structure to the bread.
Once the pizza dough rises it is important to press it down and flatten it to release all the air bubbles that has formed and are trapped inside the dough.Â
