Quick Pizza Dough Recipe

This is the best pizza dough recipe ever. Its easy to make with 5 ingredients and doesnt need to rise – which means you can have a fresh hot homemade pizza on the table in 30 minutes.

I got my very first job when I was 14, answering phones at our favorite local pizza place in the suburbs of Chicago.

Working there caused me to have incredibly high pizza standards. I grew up and moved away from Chicago to a state that does not have great pizza, so we always make our own.

We make this easy pizza dough recipe (paired with this homemade pizza sauce) at least once a week. Truly great pizza requires an outstanding crust. And that is what you get with this homemade pizza dough.

This recipe is easy to make because the dough doesnt have to rise, although rising is an option. Which means you can have fresh, hot, homemade pizza on the table in 30 minutes flat!

Serving Size: 1 slice

Nutrition Facts: calories 52 calories, Carbohydrate 9 grams carbohydrates, Cholesterol 0 milligrams cholesterol, Fat 1 grams fat, Fiber 0 grams fiber, Protein 1 grams protein, Saturated Fat 0 grams saturated fat, servingSize 1 slice , Sodium 178 milligrams sodium, Sugar 1 grams sugar, Trans Fat 0 grams trans fat, unSaturated Fat 1 grams unsaturated fat

Ingredients:

• 4 to 4-1/2 cups all-purpose flour (480 to 540 grams)
• 1 tablespoon sugar (13 grams)
• 2 teaspoons salt (12 grams)
• 1-1/4 teaspoons Quick-Rise Instant yeast (4 grams)
• 1-1/2 cups water (354 grams)
• 2 tablespoons olive oil (26 grams)

Instruction:

1. Preheat the oven to 450°F if you plan to bake a pizza (otherwise you can freeze the dough after you make it).
2. Combine 4 cups of flour, sugar, salt, and yeast in a mixing bowl and whisk together.
3. Add the water and olive oil. Mix until blended. If it is too wet, gradually add enough flour to make a soft dough. The dough should be slightly sticky.
4. Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead until smooth, about 5 minutes (you can also use your stand mixer with a dough hook).
5. Let the dough rest on the counter for 10 to 15 minutes.
6. Divide the dough into two balls.
7. At this point, you can either freeze the dough or prep it for a pizza.
8. Coat each ball of dough in some olive oil. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap then slide it into a zipper-seal bag.
9. Squeeze all the air out of the bag then freeze if for up to 3 months.
10. Roll the balls of dough into 10 to 12” circles and place them on a sheet of parchment paper (or press them into a greased sheet pan).
11. Form a rim around the pizza dough by rolling the edges in and pinching.
12. Spread pizza sauce on the dough and add your desired toppings.
13. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes until the edges are golden brown and the cheese is bubbly (thicker crust pizza will need to bake for 20 to 22 minutes).
