Reasons why your homemade pizza might not stay as you wanted it

Even if you already know how to make homemade pizza, it is worth following these tips.

• The process of making the dough is important. You must use a fresh and good quality baker's yeast. Nothing to use one that was saved months ago. Neither baking powder, which is not the same. If the dough does not grow, you most likely used an old yeast.
• Not all wheat flours are the same. Follow the steps I give you. And only alter them if you see that the dough is very watery or very compact when you are mixing it. And remember: any adjustment do it in minimum proportions, never in a single stroke.
• When stretching the dough, be careful not to break it, if there are broken or very thin parts, you can stick it in the mold at the moment to withdraw it. Even if this happens it is not the end of the world, go ahead.
• Remember to grease the mold well, everywhere, including the edges so it does not stick.
• Use fresh tomatoes for the sauce. Nothing worse than an acid tomato sauce.
• When you're in the oven try not to be distracted, you can easily spend time with the respective consequences.
• When taking it off the mold do it carefully with a flexible palette. If it was stuck somewhere, use the same palette to "cut" it underneath until it yields. Do not worry, enjoy it just the same.

Practice makes perfect. Do not forget.
