Super Simple Pizza Dough
Yield 1 14-inch thick crust pizza or 2 12-inch thin crust
Ingredients
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, or as needed *
1 envelope instant or rapid rise yeast
3/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup very warm water (120 degrees F to 130 degrees F)
2 tablespoons olive or vegetable oil
Cornmeal
Directions
In a large bowl, combine 2 cups flour, undissolved yeast, and salt. Stir very warm water and olive oil into flour mixture. Stir in enough remaining flour to make soft dough. Knead on lightly floured surface until smooth and elastic, about 4 to 6 minutes. Cover; let rest on floured surface 10 minutes.
Lightly oil 1 (14-inch) or 2 (12-inch) round pizza pan(s). Sprinkle with cornmeal. Shape dough into smooth ball. Divide and roll dough to fit desired pan(s). Top pizza as desired. Let rest in a warm place for about 10 minutes prior to baking.
Bake at 400 degrees F for 20 to 30 minutes or until done. Baking time depends on size and thickness of crust and selected toppings.
*For whole wheat pizza dough replace 1 cup of the all-purpose flour with whole wheat flour.

Do you know how many times I want to make something simple like pizza but can't because the dough takes too long? This is a perfect solution. Thanks for sharing it!
ReplyDeletei made chicken garlic ranch pizza this week with this recipe, it was awesome! no sticking to the pan, it was perfectly cooked, and not chewy. i'll keep using this recipe!! you're great angie!
ReplyDeleteI've never been happy with the way the dough turned out the few times I've tried to make homemade pizza....not this time though! The only thing I changed was to add basil&garlic salt to the dough so I cut down the additional salt added. The pie is about to go in the oven. Even uncooked the pizza&dough look fantastic. I definitely will be saving this recipe! 😉
