Easy Pizza Dough
Description
Easy Pizza Dough starts with warm water, sugar, and yeast to activate the yeast. Bread flour and olive oil provide structure and moisture, while kosher salt and garlic powder add subtle seasoning. The dough is mixed initially at medium speed, then kneaded with a dough hook to develop elasticity and gluten.
After kneading, the dough rests covered with a damp towel for 30 minutes, allowing it to rise slightly and become easier to shape. Once rolled out, it bakes at a high temperature to produce a crisp crust. This dough serves as a versatile base that can be topped with any pizza ingredients and baked quickly.
The recipe’s straightforward method and ingredient list make it approachable for home cooks who want a reliable homemade dough without complex steps. The garlic powder adds a mild savory note within the crust itself, enhancing pizza flavor.
Ingredients
- 1 cup water 110 degrees, warm
- 1 teaspoon white sugar
- 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast 1 packet
- 2 1/2 cups bread flour
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
Instructions
- In a stand mixer mix the water, sugar and yeast together and let it sit for 10 minutes.
- Add in the flour, oil, salt and garlic powder and whisk together on medium speed until well combined, then swap out for the dough hook and let it knead for 5 minutes on medium speed.
- Remove the dough hook and let it rest, covered with a damp clean towel for 30 minutes before using.
- Roll the pizza dough out with a bit of flour and when ready to use bake at 425 degrees topped with your favorite ingredients for 10-12 minutes.
Notes
- Warm water should be around 110°F to properly activate the yeast without killing it.
- Resting the dough covered helps to keep it moist and easier to roll out.
- Once rolled, bake the pizza at 425°F for 10-12 minutes with desired toppings for a crisp crust.
