There are various different methods to try, like a long dough ferment or a super speedy frying pan pizza but if you want to learn the basics, this is how to make the perfect pizza dough.

Mozzarella, peach, basil and tomato pizza recipe
We’ve used a fresh mozzarella ball, as it goes on after the base is cooked, so won’t make it soggy. Plus, it beautifully complements the fresh tomato sauce.
We’ve nudged the classic meat feast up a notch by dolloping it with sweet, smokey nduja – the spicy spreadable Italian sausage from Calabria – then drizzling with gochujang honey for extra heat.
If you're a fan of a Detroit-style pizza or just deep-dish pizza's in general, you'll love this recipe. We've cooked it in a pizza oven, but you could experiment and cook it in an oven, too.
The beauty of this recipe is you can add any toppings you already have to hand, or completely customise to your liking. We've gone for a pepperoni and tomato base, but thin slices of potato and rosemary on a white base would also be delicious.
If you love a puttanesca pasta, you'll be converted once you try it as a topping on a pizza. Plus, it's made in a frying pan to ensure a crispy bottom!
Cacio e pepe is a bit of a trendy flavour right now so we decided to pop it onto a pizza. You can't beat copious amounts of cheese and hints of black pepper.
