Recipes Pizza making is the perfect opportunity for creative expression. It is relatively casual, so there is less pressure, and follows a simple structure within which you can try a host of variations. Pizza making is also great for communal cooking. People can gather to make a variety of pizzas using their own toppings. - Page 29 White Wine Pizza Dough Making pizza dough from scratch really isn’t a lot of work. You don’t need to dig out the mixer and use the dough hook for kneading. Try kneading the dough by hand right in the mixing bowl, and you may find yourself making dough from scratch more often.
