Introduction
This versatile, easy-to-make homemade pizza dough requires only 6 basic ingredients and no complicated techniques. It results in a beautiful, chewy, and crispy crust that elevates any homemade pizza night.
Step 1
In the bowl of a stand mixer, pour in 3/4 cup of warm water (100-110°F) and add 1 packet of active dry yeast along with 1 tsp of granulated sugar. Stir gently and set aside for 5 to 7 minutes until a nice frothy head forms on top.
Step 2
Add 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 3/4 tsp of salt, the remaining 2 tsp of granulated sugar, and 1 tbsp of olive oil to the activated yeast mixture.
Step 3
Attach the bowl to the stand mixer fitted with a dough hook. Mix on low speed for about 1 minute until the dough comes together, then increase the speed to medium-low and knead for about 5 minutes until the dough is elastic. If the dough is too wet, add a tablespoon of flour; if too dry, add a tablespoon of warm water.
Step 4
Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured countertop. Knead it by hand a few times to ensure it has a good bounce and elasticity, then shape it into a cohesive ball.
Step 5
Place the dough ball into a lightly oiled large bowl. Turn the dough around to coat it fully in oil. Cover the bowl with a damp cloth or plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until it has doubled in size.
Ingredients List
Important Notes
Ensure the water temperature is strictly between 100°F and 110°F. Hot water will kill the yeast, and cold water will not activate it.
If your kitchen or mixing bowl is ice-cold, rinse the bowl under hot water and dry it before adding the yeast mixture.
Feel free to swap all-purpose flour with bread flour for a chewier crust, or double zero flour for a thinner, crispier crust.
To customize the crust flavor, add a teaspoon of dried herbs (such as oregano, rosemary, or garlic powder) when mixing in the flour.
Keep the sauce layer thin so that the moisture does not seep through and make the pizza soggy.
