Homemade Pizza Dough Recipe
Ingredients
2 ¼ teaspoons (1 packet) active dry yeast
1 teaspoon sugar
1 cup warm water (110-115°F)
2 ½ cups all purpose flour
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon salt
Directions
1: Activate the Yeast
In a small bowl, stir together the yeast, sugar, and warm water.
Let it sit for 5 to 10 minutes until foamy. If it doesn’t foam, your yeast may be expired or your water too hot or cold.
2: Make the Dough
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, olive oil, and salt.
Pour in the yeast mixture and stir until a dough starts to form.
Use your hands to bring it together into a rough dough ball.
3: Knead for Structure
Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface.
Knead for 5 to 7 minutes until it’s smooth and elastic. You should be able to stretch it without tearing.
4: Let It Rise
Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a towel, and set in a warm area.
Let it rise for 1 to 2 hours or until doubled in size.
5: Shape Your Pizza
Punch down the dough to release air.
Divide into two equal balls and roll each into a 12 inch circle on a floured surface.
6: Bake and Enjoy
Preheat your oven to 475°F and place a pizza stone or baking sheet inside to preheat as well.
Transfer the rolled out dough onto parchment or directly onto your hot surface.
Add sauce, cheese, and your favorite toppings.
Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the crust is golden and the cheese bubbly.
