Delicious and Easy Garlic Butter Cheese Pizza Recipe

How to make garlic butter cheese cream pizza

• 1

  Mix the dough

  Add 300g of flour, 40g of sugar, 5g of instant yeast, 30g of unsalted butter, 1g of salt, 1 egg, and 120ml of unsweetened milk to the bowl. Mix well to combine the ingredients.

  Note:

  • Do not add salt directly onto the yeast as it will kill the yeast or weaken its activity.
  • If you buy yeast labeled “instant,” you can use it right away. If you have dry yeast without the “instant” label, you must activate the yeast with warm water or milk at 35 – 40 degrees Celsius, stir well, and let it sit for 5 – 10 minutes until the yeast expands into a texture similar to crab bricks. It should not be hotter, as this will kill the yeast or weaken its activity.

  Kneading the dough

  Next, knead the dough with a machine at low to medium speed for 25 minutes until the dough forms a smooth, elastic ball that does not stick to your hands.

  Note:

  • If you do not have a dough kneader, you can knead by hand using the Folding and Stretching technique.
  • First, fold the dough over, then use the heel of your hand to press and stretch the dough away. Note that you should press and stretch the dough away, not press down. Next, rotate the dough by 90 degrees and repeat the two steps above for 15 – 20 minutes.

  How to recognize the dough is ready:

  • The dough is smooth and elastic, with good elasticity.
  • The dough does not stick to your hands: When pressed, it feels slightly sticky, but when you lift your finger, the dough does not stick.
  • You can stretch the dough into a thin sheet without tearing.
  • Check the dough with the Windowpane test. Tear off a piece of dough and stretch it out. If the dough forms a thin membrane that does not easily tear and light can pass through, it is ready.

  Shaping the Pizza

  Sprinkle flour on the table to prevent sticking, divide the dough into 2 equal parts.

  Next, use your hands to press and spread the dough evenly into a round shape to create the inner cavity of the pizza. Then, cover the pizza and let it rise for 60 minutes until the dough doubles in size.
