My Favorite Pizza Dough
Written by Rachel, Posted in Baking, Pizza
This is my favorite pizza dough, ever. I found it on this website ages ago (it’s since disappeared). I use this dough for any kind of pizza crust (thick, regular, thin, flatbread). I use it for quick cinnamon rolls and quick garlic breads. I often double or triple the recipe then freeze it in individual freezer bags. To defrost I leave the dough in the bag on the counter for a couple of hours, or putting it in a bowl of cold water.
Here it is, with my changes. I hope you try it!
My Favorite Pizza Dough |
Recipe Type: Pizza
Prep time: 10 mins
Cook time: 12 mins
Total time: 22 mins
Ingredients
- 3 C flour (can do 2 1/2 C All Purpose, 1/2 C Whole Wheat)
- 1 t honey (heaping)
- 1 t olive oil (heaping)
- 1 C hot water (100-110F)
- 1/2 t sugar
- 1 T yeast
- 1/2 t salt
Instructions
- Dissolve yeast in water with sugar.
- Mix flour, honey, oil and salt.
- Add yeast mixture.
- Mix all together.
- Knead a bit in the bowl (the original recipe doesn’t say anything about this. Sometimes I do, sometimes I don’t).
- Either let it rise (I don’t, and the original doesn’t say to), or just use it right away.
- I like to bake it on a baking stone, but a regular pan works well too. Bake at 475F.
- Depending on the type of pizza (usually for a flat bread pizza), sometimes I’ll bake the crust for 6 minutes, top it, then bake for about 5 more (until the cheese is bubbly). Otherwise, on a hot stone: bake for 8 minutes, on a regular pan: bake for 12 minutes.
This looks so good! I think I will try this soon. It sound easy enough.
It is super easy!! And we love the taste too! I hope you enjoy it!
I just used this dough recipe, I might have done something wrong because I did not like the edges of the pizza. But the inside of the pizza was great. I will try this recipe again with a different pan and see what happens.
Andre, I’m sorry to hear that you didn’t love it. What was it specifically that you didn’t like? Flavor, density, texture? I hope it works with a different pan (what type did you use the first time you tried it?)! I do find that the results can vary, depending on the day, type of pan etc.
