What it is

Pizza dough is the base of most pizzas, made from flour, water, yeast, and salt. It is typically leavened, meaning yeast or another agent causes it to rise and become airy. The dough is then shaped and topped before baking.

Why it's used

Pizza dough is primarily used as the foundation for pizzas, providing a chewy or crispy crust. Manufacturers use it in a wide variety of pizza products, from frozen to fresh, and it can also appear in other baked goods like calzones or stromboli.

Health notes

Pizza dough itself is a grain-based food and is generally recognized as safe by the FDA when made with common ingredients. The primary nutritional contribution comes from the flour, which can be whole grain or refined. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated many individual ingredients commonly found in pizza dough, such as flour and yeast, but not pizza dough as a composite product. Concerns may arise from added ingredients like sodium or fats, depending on the specific recipe.

Allergen info

Pizza dough is typically made with wheat flour, which is one of the 9 FDA major allergens. It also contains gluten, a protein found in wheat.
