Yeast dough for pizza is the base for authentic Italian pizza, combining airiness and lightness with a crispy crust. Its history traces back to Neapolitan cuisine, where masters created the perfect texture: soft, elastic, with a subtle yeast aroma. Thanks to milk, the dough gains tenderness, while eggs and butter add a light richness. It is perfect for making traditional pizza with various toppings, from classic Margherita to spicy Pepperoni. The simplicity of preparation makes this recipe accessible even for home experiments. The finished dough rolls out well and bakes evenly, forming a golden crust that pairs perfectly with tomato sauce and melted cheese. It’s an ideal choice for those who want to taste authentic Italy at home.
