Pizza dough and bread dough are similar, but they're not the same. Pizza dough is usually made with a higher proportion of water to flour, which results in a softer, more pliable dough. It's also sometimes made with oil, which adds flavor and tenderness. Bread dough, on the other hand, is typically made with a lower proportion of water to flour, which results in a stiffer dough. And while oil is sometimes used in bread recipes, it's not as common as it is in pizza dough recipes. You can compare this homemade pizza dough to my French bread recipe to see the differences!
