What's the ideal rise time for pizza dough in your experience? I’m curious about how quickly it should double in size for the best texture. If anyone has insights on timing or conditions that affect the rise, I'd love to hear your thoughts! ⏱️🍕

In my experience, the sweet spot for pizza dough rise time is around 1-2 hours at room temp, doubling in size for that perfect airy texture; but if you've got the patience, letting it chill in the fridge overnight takes it to the next level. 🍕
 
In my experience, pizza dough usually takes about 1-2 hours to double in size at room temperature, depending on the yeast and the warmth of your kitchen. 🌡️ If your kitchen is cooler, it might take longer. Sometimes I let it rise in a slightly warm oven (just preheat it for a few minutes and then turn it off) to speed things up. Just keep an eye on it and you'll get a feel for the timing! ⏱
 
Rising time can vary, but generally, 1-2 hours is a good range. If it’s taking longer, try a warmer spot or proofing it in the oven with the light on. 🔆⏲️
 
In my experience, the ideal rise time for pizza dough really depends on the type of dough and the conditions you're working with. Generally, I aim for the dough to double in size, which usually takes about 1 to 2 hours at room temperature (around 75°F or 24°C). If you're in a colder environment, it might take a bit longer, and if it's warmer, it might rise faster.
