The Perfect Homemade Pizza

Step-by-step method

Let’s cook

At a glance

You're looking at a two-day project where the real magic happens in the overnight fridge rest—this lets the dough develop amazing flavor and texture. The key to success here is nailing three things: using quality flour, getting your oven screaming hot (250°C+), and giving that dough enough time to rise and develop before baking.

  1. 1/7

    Tip: buy good flour

    Good-quality flour is the foundation. When I don't have Italian pizza flour on hand, I use a fine plain flour like Babiččina volba. It's worth paying a little extra (yes, it's really just pennies) — I promise you'll notice the difference.

  2. Tip: make it the day before

    2/7

    Tip: make it the day before

    Mix the ingredients into a smooth, pliable dough, then place it in a large bowl and refrigerate overnight. The next day, take the dough out, divide it into balls, and let them rise in a warm spot for about one to two hours. One kilo of flour makes four to six dough balls.

  3. 3/7

    Tip: preheat the oven really well

    A thoroughly and thoroughly hot oven is essential. My oven maxes out at 250°C, so I set it to fan/convection and let it heat up properly for at least ten minutes. If it could go higher, I certainly wouldn't complain — the pizza would be even better.

About this recipe

I only managed to perfect my homemade pizza after a lot of trial and error. There are quite a few factors that go into a crispy, fragrant, tasty dough, but none of them are hard to get right — and the result is a truly fantastic pizza. Most of my friends and I agree that the dough is what really makes or breaks a pizza. What you put on top is almost secondary.
