Make Pizza Yourself: Kitchen Helpers for Dough, Sauce & Toppings

At Butch, you'll find everything you need to prepare, cook, and serve pizza. The tools and cookware presented here are also suitable for preparing similar recipes such as flammkuchen, flatbread, focaccia, galettes, and more.

At Butch, we love Italian cuisine, and we love pizza! Of course, homemade. Our favorites are classics like Pizza Napoletana and Pizza Margherita, and they taste like they're from your favorite Italian restaurant. Well, almost. But with the right recipes and tools, you can actually get pretty close to the Italian original.

The three main ingredients for pizza are: dough, tomatoes or tomato sauce, and cheese. With these, you can already conjure up a Neapolitan-style pizza. Add some basil, and you have a Pizza Margherita. Its history dates back to the 19th century, where allegedly a pizza maker in Naples created this pizza for the wife of King Umberto I. Mozzarella cheese (white), tomatoes (red), and basil (green) - a topping in the national colors of Italy! Over time, this pizza variant became probably the most famous pizza ever. The key to the original taste are the right ingredients. San Marzano tomatoes are used as tomatoes, and the traditional mozzarella is not buffalo mozzarella, but a Fior di Latte made from cow's milk. However, we at Butch believe that what tastes good is allowed. And taste is a very personal, individual matter. Read more here ...

The Pizza Dough

Let's start with the dough. The classic dough for a pizza is a simple yeast dough. The quality of the ingredients and a dough recipe that suits your personal taste are crucial for success. Some like the dough thin and crispy, while others prefer the American version, which is thicker but more airy. Some like the pizza round, as it is served in the pizzeria, while others prefer the square baking sheet version, which is often used as a family or party pizza. We have put together a nice selection of kitchen helpers for you on the topic of dough: flour sifters and bowls for preparing the dough, baking spatulas and dough scrapers, a rolling pin for rolling out the pizza dough, and silicone work mats.

The Tomato Sauce

For cooking the tomato sauce, Butch offers almost every pot size in various materials, as well as cutting boards, chopping knives, stirring spoons, and much more. To keep this section from becoming too cluttered, if you need such basics, you can find them using the search field with the magnifying glass at the top of the header. Simply enter the term and all results will be displayed. A real little Butch darling is the pizza peel from de Buyer. With it, the tomato sauce can be spread on the dough and - here's the trick - flattened directly thanks to its flat bottom.

The Toppings

When it comes to toppings, your imagination knows no bounds. There are countless variations. In addition to the pizza Margherita with tomatoes, mozzarella, and basil, one of the first pizzas we enjoyed here at the Italian restaurant was a pizza salami ham mushroom. A version that is associated with travel memories and tastes like a vacation by the sea is the pizza frutti di mare, which is topped with seafood. Exotics like pizza Hawaii with pineapple or pizza low-carb with cauliflower are more experimental than traditional recipes. Our motto is that anything that tastes good is allowed.

The Baking

For baking, baking mats - like those of our premium brand de Buyer -, baking trays and baking tins are suitable. Which type of baking base you prefer is a matter of personal preference. If you're into Deep Pan Pizza, i.e. American Style pizza with a thick base, we recommend the round baking tins from the brand Riess. These baking trays are deep enough for the Deep Pan version. Moreover, they are robust, durable and easy to care for. Since Riess enamel is cut and scratch resistant, the finished pizza can be cut directly in the form with a knife or pizza cutter without damaging the baking tin. These round Riess pizza trays are also perfect for quiches or flat fruit cakes.

The Serving

Speaking of pizza cutters: A good pizza cutter is suitable for much more than just cutting pizza. All flat baked goods, whether savory or sweet, can be cleanly and easily cut with it: Rolled out puff pastry, tarte flambée, sheet cake, French galettes, even Turkish baklava, all this can be cleanly divided with a pizza cutter - depending on the height of the cutting wheel. Various versions of our top brands can of course be found here.
