Homemade Pizza Dough

From the Sowcial team

Dissolve the yeast in warm water and let it sit until foamy. Stir in the flour, salt, and olive oil to form a dough, then knead until smooth and elastic. Let rise in an oiled bowl until doubled, then divide and shape into rounds. Use right away or refrigerate overnight for more flavor.

Alternatives:
Spelt flour — Nuttier flavor and a more delicate gluten. Works well 1:1 in quick breads, pancakes, and pie crust; for yeasted bread it makes a denser loaf unless blended with wheat flour.
Kamut flour — Higher protein with a rich, buttery flavor. Substitutes 1:1 in most baking, though doughs may need a splash more water.
Einkorn flour — Low in gluten with a sweet, nutty flavor. Best in quick breads, pancakes, and pie crust; yeasted bread needs a shorter knead and rise and will not rise as much as with wheat flour.

Household production plan

How much infrastructure would this recipe take?

These are rough annual estimates based on the grow guide's typical yields, and only cover ingredients you're growing. Anything set to buy is on your grow plan's shopping list instead. Use them for planning, then adjust for your climate, losses, preservation, and actual harvests. Toggle any crop to Hydro to plan it as a hydroponic setup instead of a soil bed.

Garden layout

What planting these beds could look like

Each square is roughly one square foot of a standard 4×8 ft bed. Planted squares are shaded; the rest is open soil in that bed. Known companion plants share the leftover space in a bed instead of each getting their own. Where a bed grows a single crop, we flag good companions to interplant (shown as dashed squares), and a small border planting of trap crops is tucked in wherever it can lure pests away from your real crops. Both are how you hold pests down without reaching for a pesticide.

Other growing setups

Grown outside a shared bed — logs, grow bags, and other specialty setups rather than garden-bed square footage.

🫒 Olive
