Accurately Measuring Yeast for Your Pizza Dough: A Step-By-Step Guide

Creating the perfect pizza dough all starts with accurately measuring your yeast. Yeast is the secret ingredient that affects everything from the taste to the texture of your pizza. And if you’ve ever struggled with pizza dough that doesn’t taste quite the same every time you make it, how much yeast is in your pizza dough may be why the flavors keep changing.

One of the most reliable tools to nail your pizza dough measurements is a kitchen scale. Measuring cups may seem like a simpler alternative, but in most cases, they aren’t nearly consistent as measuring yeast out to the last gram. Instead, weighing your yeast ensures consistency and guarantees a pizza dough that rises to the occasion.

And, once you’ve created the perfect, consistent dough, all that’s left is to cook your pizza in the right oven. That's where Fontana Forni pizza ovens and accessories come in. Drawing on decades of traditional Italian craftsmanship, Fontana Forni has created a range of portable outdoor pizza ovens that maintain their temperature and ensure an even cook every time.
