Robert's Homemade Pizza Dough Recipe
Equipment
- Mixing bowls, parchment paper, baking sheet or pizza stone
Ingredients
- - 3-4 cups of all-purpose flour for a perfect pizza crust
- - 1 packet 2 1/4 teaspoons of active dry yeast for a flavorful and airy dough
- - 1 1/2 cups of warm water approximately 110°F or 43°C for activating the yeast
- - 2-3 teaspoons of sugar for feeding the yeast
- - 2-3 teaspoons of salt for a balanced flavor
- - 2-3 teaspoons of olive oil for a touch of richness
- - A pinch of love (because every recipe needs some
Instructions
- In a small bowl, combine the warm water, sugar, and active dry yeast. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until it becomes frothy and bubbly. This is crucial for a flavorful and airy dough.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine 3 cups of all-purpose flour and the salt. Make a well in the center of the flour mixture.
- Pour the activated yeast mixture and olive oil into the well. Mix everything together until it forms a shaggy dough.
- Turn the dough out onto a floured surface. Knead it for about 5-10 minutes, incorporating additional flour as needed to prevent sticking. You'll know it's ready when the dough is smooth and elastic.
- Form the dough into a ball and place it in a lightly oiled bowl. Cover it with a clean kitchen towel and let it rise for 1-2 hours, or until it has doubled in size. This allows the flavors to develop and creates a perfect half of pizza dough.
- Preheat your oven to the highest temperature it can reach (usually around 500-550°F or 260-290°C) and place a pizza stone or an inverted baking sheet inside while the oven heats.
- Roll out the pizza dough into your desired size, making it thin or thick crust, and place it on a piece of parchment paper.
- Add your favorite pizza toppings to create a flavorful and presentable pizza.
- Transfer the pizza (along with the parchment paper) onto the preheated pizza stone or baking sheet.
- Bake for about 10-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the toppings are bubbly and enticing.
