Yeast pizza (dough)
Description
The recipe won't take much time. The filling is very simple—everyone adds whatever they like or have on hand. As for the dough, I've experimented with it many times. It's important to strike the right balance so that it's not too dense and doesn't rise too much during baking. You'll definitely want to keep this dough recipe. Serve it with tea or coffee.
