PIZZA Tutorial. Schneller Pizzateig (nur 20 minuten)



Pizza! It's my favorite & my kids' favorite lunch! I made it many times & from many trials & errors I came up with some advises I would like to share it with you, these are not expert's Tips. These r only my Tips based on trials & error, nothing more!

1- Kneading the dough is very important, for me kneading with a machine is much better than kneading with hands, kneading for around 8 minutes is important.
