This dough is easy to handle and will give you a crispy crust that's also tender.
Ingredients
Preparation
Step 1
Pour 3/4 cup warm water into small bowl; stir in yeast. Let stand until yeast dissolves, about 5 minutes.
Step 2
Brush large bowl lightly with olive oil. Mix 2 cups flour, sugar, and salt in processor. Add yeast mixture and 3 tablespoons oil; process until dough forms a sticky ball. Transfer to lightly floured surface. KNEAD dough until smooth, adding more flour by tablespoonfuls if dough is very sticky, about 1 minute. Transfer to prepared bowl; turn dough in bowl to coat with oil. Cover bowl with plastic wrap and let dough rise in warm draft-free area until doubled in volume, about 1 hour. PUNCH down dough. DO AHEAD Can be made 1 day ahead. Store in airtight container in refrigerator. ROLL out dough according to recipe instructions. (Start in center of dough, working outward toward edges but not rolling over them.)

Back to TopI'll assume you bake it at a particular temperature for a certain period of time.

I think this is great. I do divide the flower. I use 1 and 3/4 cups of all-purpose and a 1/4 cup of whole wheat. It comes out great!

This recipe is a good starting point. I made the following changes and really like the flavor, texture, and workability now. Substitute instant yeast for the active dry yeast. Take out 1/4C all-purpose flour and add in 2T whole wheat flour and 2T corn flour (fine corn meal). Add dried rosemary (1/2t?) at the end of kneading - sooner doesn’t work as well.

I discovered this recipe at the beginning of the pandemic. It's a fool proof recipe for a crispy pizza. I make it in a 13 x 9 pan lined with Silpat.

I thought the crust was pretty good. I might add a little bit of herbs to the dough next time because it was a little bland. I used a little extra salt and I would actually skip that next time as it was plenty salty. I used a pizza stone to cook mine and even with putting down cornmeal, the dough really stuck to the stone. I will either flour the stone or use a different pan next time. I would recommend this highly for a fast pizza dough (I usually use a 5 hour sourdough one). Its the best of the 1-hour doughs.

I make this recipe almost weekly in the summer. It’s great for single size Neapolitan style pizza in our wood burning oven or for a bigger multi serve pizza on a stone on the grill. It’s a super versatile dough. I used honey today instead of sugar and it was yummy! It’s also very easy to double which I do almost every time since it’s easy to store extra.

This is an excellent pizza dough recipe. Very crispy and flavorful. I have been making it for several years now. It’s very easy to make, Pretty much idiot proof! Give it a try, you can’t lose. I am from Chicago and you just can’t good pizza in California so I prefer to make my own.

Dough was nice and easy to work with. Used my KitchenAid instead of processor, and backed off the salt by half as well as using only 2 TBS olive oil in the dough. (hubby’s health issues). Made it thin style on a cookie sheet and half baked for 8 min at 450* to load up later in the day. Will certainly make again.

Thin crispy crust when stretched over a 16 inch pie pan. The sigh is so easy to work with that I don’t need a mixer or food processor, just a spoon and my hands. Family loves it and they can personalize their pies.

A very good go to pizza dough. Best thing is that you can make it in an hour and that is awesome if you have a last minute hankering for pizza one night. Behaves very well when shaping and doesn’t spring back like some of my more artisanal doughs do. I tried to do one big pizza in my oven, but that was too much so stick with the sizes that are recommended. For sure it will be a go to for us. One of the best doughs I’ve made recently and I bake a lot.

I made this recipe with my 4 year old (mini chef in training), it was super easy, as long as you know how to work dough. If it looks crumbly, then you haven't worked it enough. I made mine in my stand mixer with a hook. I let it rip a little longer on the mixer, then turned it out on my table and kneaded it for about another 2 minutes until smooth. I did have to add a few more tablespoons of flour since is very humid and rainy here today. It turned out great. I also added a little garlic powder and Italian seasoning for a little extra flavor.
