Making homemade pizza is an art. It requires an understanding of the ingredients for a correct combination. But, there is more to a great homemade pizza--that is, the dough!

However, feel like eating a Brighton pizza? Order fresh and tasty pizzas from Sydney Manoosh!

What does it take to knead a perfect dough?

For a flavourful dough, type of flour, mixing properties, and fermentation time are crucial. Let us look at them in brief.

Flour

A good dough begins with gluten-rich flour. It provides a good mixing for a soft dough. Strong flours have a gluten structure that can form a solid dough when mixed. Many traditional Italian pizza recipes recommend a flour that has ‘00’ initials and along with some all-purpose flour. You can also use strong white flour, baking flour, and plain flour for a consistent dough. 

Kneading and correct water level 

The dough is formed when the gluten in the flour absorbs the water during kneading.  Kneading creates this linkage and spaces to release the CO2 formed during fermentation. This raises the dough when baked. The right level of water is vital for a chewy texture. Follow this simple method to measure water absorption levels.

  • Measure 50 grams flour
  • Take 50 ml water and add slowly to knead
  • Once you get a dough consistency, check the water consumed
  • Double it to find the WA percentage

But, if you find this too much work, you can simply order tasty pizzas from Brighton  Manoosh.

Fermentation

Fermentation is crucial for a flavourful dough. Experienced chefs will prefer a longer fermentation time to get a more flavourful dough. Dry yeast and sugars can speed up the fermentation but add fewer flavors. Ferment for 1 to 2 hours, but if you have time, ferment for 24 hours. The yeast metabolites the sugars to release flavors. Rest it longer for more flavour. If you are short of time, you can order at Brighton Manoosh. We naturally ferment our dough to deliver flavorful pizza.

When it comes to pizza, we’re familiar with the classic Italian tomato, cheese and herb toppings. However, Lebanese pizza offers a unique blend of ingredients, traditions and techniques that has influenced the food industry. Before globalisation, people would freely exchange their cultures, which included pizza toppings. Instead, they make what we called the Manoosh, which is different from regular pizzas. Here’s what they use as toppings: Unlike your Chipping Norton pizza , za’atar is an integral component of Lebanese food culture. Comprising a blend of spices and herbs, it contains Lebanese oregano, sumac, dried thyme, toasted sesame seeds, salt and sumac.
