How to make the perfect pizza? What does it take to satisfy even the choosiest person? Is it the recipe, the dough or the oven? Where is the devil hiding?

The Solution

Focus on one aspect of the pizza preparation means missing 99% of the rest. Perfect pizza is a combination of factors each of which needs to be added in the specific quantity.

1. Dough must be with finer flour and it has to be left to rise. Once with enough air in it it should be soft and fluffy. Here is a great dough recipe from Jamie Oliver.

2. The oven.

Outdoors

There is much to choose from when it comes to ovens for pizzas. The best oven for the purpose is the wood fired oven. The smoke, the temperature and the open fire deliver taste and smell to the pizza like nothing else. The options to choose from are countless. You can build your own wood fired pizza oven, purchase oven to assemble or you may buy a pizza oven box which to place on the BBQ in your garden. For even better results, search for wood fired oven recipes online. This will improve the taste even more.

Indoors

Convection oven is what will suit you best in your kitchen. These come in all sizes and can be installed in different kitchens despite the kitchen design and the arrangement .The hot air is evenly distributed around the dough and baking is easier and more precise. The heat, reaches deeper into the pizza dough and bakes it evenly inside and outside. However, if you own conventional oven, simply decrease the temperature and leave it to bake.

Tip: make sure the window of the oven door is clean. That will allow you constant check of the condition of the pizza without the need to open it too often and lose heat. According to oven cleaners from Oxford, there are green cleaning solutions for the job, available in many grocery stores and you can literally clean the door after each cooking, fast and safe.

3. Fresh ingredients

The fresh spices and veggies are crucial for the taste of the pizza. The higher quality ingredients the tastier your pizza will be. You can make your own sauce even by throwing tomatoes, extra virgin olive oil, salt and flavoring.

Tip: a neat touch is to brush the pizza with olive oil after you take it out of the oven.

Tip: never underestimate the onion. Italian cuisine requires it. Even though it’s smelly, real pizza need onion.

I hope these tips were useful and help you make the perfect pizza.
