This easy pizza dough recipe is the key to making an extraordinary homemade pizza. We use all-purpose flour because double zero is hard to find.

You won't be disappointed with the results! -Josh Rink, Taste of Home Food Stylist

EASY 30-MINUTE PIZZA DOUGH II



Easy 30-Minute Pizza Dough II image

Based on my swear-by recipe Recipe #420921 and another dough recipe. 1 1/2 cup AP flour + 1 1/2 tbsp vital wheat gluten = 1 1/2 cup bread flour. Fast-rise active dry yeast speeds this up too; and it's okay if you use a 0.25-oz packet instead of measuring out 2 tsp of yeast from a jar if you reduce the rising time.

Categories     Breads

Time 30m

Yield 3 crusts, 3 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

3/4 cup warm water
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 teaspoon honey
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1 1/2 cups bread flour
1/2 cup whole wheat flour
2 teaspoons active dry yeast

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, place the warm water in first then the honey.
  • Sprinkle the yeast on top, agitate the bowl slightly if you have to so the yeast gets immersed in the water. Wait 10-15 minutes or until foamy.
  • Add the oil and salt.
  • Blend in the flours and knead until elasticy, about 5 minutes or so.
  • Cover with parchment paper or a dish towel and let rise for 20-30 minutes.
  • Spray a cookie sheet, pizza stone, or round baking dish with cooking spray and put some dough in and you're set!
  • I get about 3-4 little pizzas out of this amount of dough; it's thicker than my other pizza dough recipe.

1 teaspoon sugar
1 envelope instant dry yeast

  • Grease a large bowl with the remaining 2 teaspoons olive oil, add the dough, cover the bowl with plastic wrap and put it in a warm area to let it double in size, about 1 hour.

QUICK AND EASY PIZZA CRUST



Quick and Easy Pizza Crust image

This is a great recipe when you don't want to wait for the dough to rise. You just mix it and allow it to rest for 5 minutes and then it's ready to go!! It yields a soft, chewy crust. For a real treat, I recommend you use bread flour and bake it on a pizza stone, but all-purpose flour works well too. Enjoy!

WORLD'S BEST PIZZA CRUST



World's Best Pizza Crust image

My mom makes the best pizza crust on several continents. It's fast and easy. Excellent as a white pizza or traditional red sauce, any toppings go.

Provided by Isabeau

Categories     Low Cholesterol

Time 1h

Yield 1 pizza, 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 (1/2 tablespoon) package yeast
1 teaspoon sugar
1 cup warm water
3 cups flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons oil

Steps:

  • Dissolve yeast and sugar in water.
  • Beat in ½ flour.
  • Add salt, oil and rest of flour (add more if needed to make handle-able dough).
  • Rise in oiled bowl.
  • Place on greased pan.
  • Add sauce, cheese, etc.
  • Bake at 450 20 -25 minutes (til brown).

Pizza Dough

  • Use high-quality ingredients. This means using a good quality all-purpose or bread-making floor, extra virgin or refined light virgin oil instead of seed oil, and fresh and strong yeast.
  • Knead the floor well. This will help to develop the gluten in the floor, which will give the crust its chewiness and elasticity.
  • Let the floor rise properly. This will give the flavors in the floor a chance to develop and the yeast to work, which will make the floor easier to work with and give the crust a better texture.
  • Use a pizza stone or a hot, non-stick pan. This will help to give the crust a nice, crispy bottom.

Pizza Toppings

  • Use high-quality ingredients. This means using fresh, seasonal ingredients such as fresh mozzarella cheese, full of flavors tomato, and fragrant herbs.
  • Don't overload the crust. You want the crust to be able to cook evenly, so don't put too many toppings on it.
  • Add the toppings before you bake the pizza. This will help to prevent the toppings from charring.

Pizza Cooking

  • Bake the pizza at a high temperature. This will help to create a golden-crust and a crisp.
  • Cook the pizza until the cheese is bubbly and the crust is golden-crust and crispy. Make sure to rotate the pizza half-way through cooking so that it cooks evenly.
  • Let the pizza cool for a few minutes before cutting it. This will help the pizza to set and hold together better.

Conclusion

With a little planning and preparation, you can easily make a delicious, homemade pizza with a perfect crust and flavors that your whole family will love. So next time you're craving pizza, give this recipe a try.
