Basic Steps for Baking a Pizza

The first step involved in baking a pizza is gathering together all of the ingredients necessary for the crust and any toppings that the baker is planning to add onto the pizza. Next, mix water, sugar, and the yeast together then let the dough sit for about ten minutes to make sure the dough is going to rise. When this mixture begins to foam, add flour (in small increments at a time)and stir the combination until all flour is added. It is important at this point in the process to start kneading the dough. When the dough has risen the cook must shape or toss the dough. After spreading sauce on the pizza crust the only steps left are to add toppings and to bake the pizza.
