Summer is just around the corner, and that means it’s time to turn up the heat—and the oven! Here at Alkanatur, we’re all about good water and good times, and nothing says summer entertaining like a homemade pizza, fresh out of the oven. If you caught our recent Instagram reel, you saw just how easy (and satisfying) it can be to whip up pizza dough from scratch. Spoiler alert: you don’t need to be a pro baker. All it takes is a few simple ingredients, a hot oven, and the right kind of water. You've got this!
Let’s talk about what you need to make perfect pizza dough:
✔️ Flour (we love a good Italian 00 flour if you can get it)
✔️ Yeast
✔️ Salt
✔️ And of course… water — but not just any water.
Here’s the thing a lot of home bakers don’t realize: chlorine in tap water can kill yeast, which is a type of fungus. Yep. The same chlorine added to tap water to kill bacteria can sabotage your dough before it even starts to rise. That means dense crusts, flat disappointment, and a lack of confidence - when it's not even your fault! But don’t give up just yet, friend.
✨ Enter the Alkanatur Pitcher ✨
Our water filter pitcher removes 99% of chlorine, that pesky pizza and bread saboteur. But it doesn’t stop there. It also reduces heavy metals, pesticides, microplastics, and other common tap water nasties—leaving you with clean, mineral-rich, alkaline water that’s yeast-friendly and better for your body, too.
So if you’ve ever tried baking with yeast and had nothing rise but your frustration levels, it might not be you. It might be your water. And switching to filtered water (like the kind our Alkanatur pitcher provides) could be your first step toward bread—and pizza—success.
Pro pizza tips for your summer baking: 🔥 Crank your oven up as high as it’ll go. Think of professional pizza ovens that can get up to 1000F degrees (around 500C). Pizza loves heat!
Consider a pizza stone or peel to mimic that crispy-bottom magic of a real pizza oven. You could also use an overturned cast iron pan.
Don’t overcomplicate it. Simple dough, good sauce, fresh toppings, and love (plus filtered water) go a long way.
So roll up those sleeves, pour yourself a glass of chilled Alkanatur-filtered water, and get ready to impress your taste buds and your friends this summer. After all, if you can boil water, you can bake pizza dough. Especially when the water’s this pristine.
Happy baking!
