HEALTH BENEFITS
Why eat it.
- ✓Provides a significant source of energy from carbohydrates, fueling daily activities.
- ✓Enriched flour used in most dough is a good source of B-vitamins like niacin and thiamin, essential for energy metabolism.
- ✓The fermentation process can partially break down complex carbohydrates, potentially improving digestibility for some individuals.
COOKING TIPS
In the kitchen.
- 1Allow dough to rest at room temperature for 30-60 minutes before stretching. This relaxes the gluten, making it easier to shape without tearing.
- 2For a crispy crust, preheat your baking surface (pizza stone or steel) at the oven's highest temperature for at least 45-60 minutes.
- 3Use minimal flour on your hands and work surface when stretching the dough to avoid making the final crust tough and dry.
- 4To prevent a soggy center, apply sauce sparingly and avoid overloading the pizza with excessively wet toppings.
STORAGE
Keep it fresh.
- Refrigerate fresh dough in a lightly oiled, airtight container for up to 5 days. Punch it down if it rises too much.
- Freeze individual dough balls tightly wrapped in plastic and stored in a freezer bag for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before use.
