Gordon Ramsay Pizza Dough Ingredients & Substitutions

Note: The ingredients mentioned below are enough to make five servings of Gordon Ramsay Pizza Dough.

400 Grams White Flour: If you need a replacement for white flour, I suggest you use whole wheat flour. It’s the closest substitute for white flour.
250 ml Lukewarm Water

Expert Tips That I Recommend

Use Cold Water: I suggest using cold water when making the dough. It slows down the fermentation process, allowing the dough to flavor over time.
Infuse More Flavors: If you want to add more flavors to your dough, take my suggestion and incorporate some herbs and spices like basil, thyme, oregano, or rosemary. You can also incorporate minced garlic to elevate the flavors.
Brush the Crust: When you are ready to make a pizza out of this dough, my suggestion is to brush the crust with olive oil, as this will create a golden, crispy texture.

FAQs About Gordon Ramsay Pizza Dough

Can you make your pizza dough without using a stand mixer?

Yes, you can make this dough without using a stand mixer. Simply use your hands to knead the dough, as it’s the traditional method and works so well.

How do you know if your dough has been kneaded enough?

To know if your dough has been kneaded enough, poke your finger into the dough. If it springs back, it is a sign that it no longer needs to be kneaded. Also, if the dough is smooth and slightly elastic, it’s been kneaded enough.

Why is your dough too tough to stretch?

Over-kneading and insufficient rest can make the dough too tough to stretch. So, to make it easy to stretch, ensure you are not overworking the dough. Also, don’t forget to rest the dough properly.

Why is your dough sticking after rising?

To prevent your dough from sticking after rising, ensure that you have added enough flour and add a bit more if it is still sticking. This will help your dough get back to the right consistency.

Peeps, you will be intrigued to know that this recipe is compatible with people following vegetarian and vegan diets. However, certain diets restrict you from enjoying this pizza dough, so keep reading to find out more!

Recipe Variations For Different Diets

Gluten-Free Diet: You can replace the all-purpose flour with almond or oat flour or gluten-free flour, but know that it may also affect the texture of the dough!
Keto Diet: If you want to make this recipe keto-friendly, I recommend using almond flour, lukewarm water, olive oil, and salt. A keto-friendly version of this pizza dough is ready!
Low-Sodium Diet: I suggest using bread flour, warm water, active dry yeast, olive oil, and very little salt. Now, you can enjoy this pizza dough even if you are following a low-sodium diet.

Storing This Recipe

Refrigerate: I prefer storing the dough in the refrigerator for 1-2 days. The cold temperature slows down the yeast activity, allowing you to delay baking until you’re ready. When ready to use the dough, remove it from the refrigerator and let it come to room temperature for about 30 minutes to 1 hour. This allows the gluten to relax and makes the dough easier to stretch and shape.
Freezer: I suggest placing the dough ball into a freezer-safe, airtight container or tightly wrapping it in plastic wrap. Ensure the container is sealed well to prevent freezer burn and the absorption of other flavors. When ready to use the dough, transfer it from the freezer to the refrigerator the night before or at least several hours before baking. Thawing the dough slowly in the refrigerator helps maintain its texture and rise.
