The basic homemade pizza recipe requires that you have the following ingredients: Flour – Any high-protein flour is preferred, but you can also use all-purpose flour. Water – Bottled water is recommended; however, you can use tap water. Try to avoid using mineral water. Yeast – We prefer using Active Dry Yeast, but you can also use Instant Yeast; the proportion will be the same. You can use them interchangeably ( 1 : 1 ) for small amounts of dough. Salt – Fine sea salt is always preferred as it dissolves faster and tastes better. You can use regular table salt if you can’t find or don’t have fine sea salt. However, table salt has an iodine taste that will transfer to your dough. Oil – A good olive oil will give you the best results, but you can also use vegetable oil. Sugar – Plain white sugar can be used, or honey is an excellent substitute if you prefer.
