Pizza dough and regular dough, like bread dough, are made with similar ingredients, but have distinct differences based the ratio of ingredients and preparation. Kneading: Pizza dough is generally kneaded less than regular dough so it’s more elastic and tender to create chewy dough. Regular dough, on the other hand, benefits from more extensive kneading to develop gluten and create a desirable structure. However, this can vary based on the desired outcome and recipe. Fat and Sugar: While fat and sugar are sometimes added to regular dough recipes to enhance flavor and texture, pizza dough typically is a lean dough, made without eggs or butter. Without the extra fat to make the dough soft, you’re promised a crusty pizza crust. Shaping: Pizza dough is typically shaped into a thin, round or rectangular shape, suitable for baking in a hot oven. Regular dough, on the other hand, can be shaped into various forms, such as loaves, rolls, or braided breads.
