Q Any tips for making pizza at home?
—Pranav, via Instagram
I love sourdough pizza. Look up a recipe for the dough online, and add some yoghurt and sprite while kneading. This helps to accelerate the fermentation. I would also suggest that you make the pizza dough one day prior to give it time to sit and rise, and get that sourness. Make sure the dough is hydrated and not stiff.
For the tomato sauce, use a lot of garlic and olive oil. Take a couple of hours and slow cook your tomato sauce. Don’t be in a rush. The more you cook it, the more the flavours will come out. Use some basil to finish the sauce.
Always use fresh mozzarella and slice it a day before and store it in the fridge, because it has high water content and could be very liquid-y. This way, you will get a nice mouth feel of the cheese.
Make sure your oven is very hot—450 degrees. Preheat it.
Last, and not the least, use your hands while eating pizza. Please.
