The video is a tutorial on how to make homemade pizza dough in just a few simple steps. It recommends mixing flour, yeast, salt, olive oil and water together until a shaggy dough forms. The dough is then kneaded by hand for 5-10 minutes until smooth and elastic. The dough is shaped into balls, covered and allowed to rise for at least an hour before topping and baking for 15-20 minutes at 500 degrees Fahrenheit.
