I love this pizza recipe because it’s one of the easiest and quickest pizzas to put together, and the crust has an amazing crunch to it. The dough for this pizza is so super soft it’s actually pourable. So, once you’ve mixed the pizza dough, you literally just pour it into a pan and spread it out with your hands. This pizza recipe perfect for a busy week night - it really minimizes washing up and cleaning up. The crust is delicious - I’ve given it a pretzel-like crunch by the addition of baking soda.
How to make Pourable Pizza
Scroll down for amounts of ingredients
Step 1
In a large bowl mix together flour, baking soda and salt thoroughly. It’s important to mix well to ensure the baking soda gets evenly distributed into the flour.
In a glass mix water and vinegar. Do not skip the vinegar as it's what makes your crust rise.
Combine your water mixture with your flour mixture and mix well for 1 minute.
PLEASE NOTE: Every flour absorbs water differently. So your mixture may look less or more wet than mine. Do NOT add more water.
Step 2
Your dough will look soft or loose. Transfer into into a well oiled pizza pan. Depending on how loose your dough is you can either spread it with a wet spoon OR wet your hands and spread it with wet hands to the edge of your 13 inch (33 cm) pan.
Step 3
Bake in a well preheated oven at 250 °C (450 °F) for 8 minutes. Don't walk away. We're looking for a dark curst. Check the video for for more visuals.
Step 4
Add your tomato sauce, spreading it evenly and all the way to the borders. Add your shredded cheese and bake again for 3 - 5 minutes.
Allow to cool for 2 minutes and enjoy!

Pro Tips
Give a chance to your oven to preheat well!
This is a high hydration dough (72 - 75%). Flours absorb liquids differently so please don't worry if your dough seems dryer than mine.Instead based on your mixture consistency, you can either spread the dough with a wet spoon or more simply use wet hands.
The dough should be spread thinly!
Because this dough is such a high hydration dough, it does need the 8 minutes of pre-baking before adding the sauce

For the pizza dough
200g (1½ cup) All Purpose Flour. If you can, use a scale for this recipe.
¼ tsp Salt
¾ tsp Baking soda
150 g (⅔ cup)Water

For the pizza sauce
(Use all of the tomato sauce as it softens the
dough again)
120 g (4.5 oz) Tomato Sauce

The cheese I used is Fontal. You can use any melty cheese of your
choice. I prefer to not use mozzarella for this recipe as even the dry
one releases water.
