5-Minute Pizza Dough Recipe by Hand
It's national pizza party day so Stacey shares a pizza dough by hand recipe that anyone can make for great homemade pizza in just minutes.
Ingredients
- 1 .25 ounce active dry yeast
- 1 tsp white sugar
- 2 1/2 cups bread flour
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). In a medium bowl, dissolve yeast and sugar in warm water. Let stand until creamy, about 10 minutes.
- Stir in flour, salt, and oil. Beat until smooth. Let rest for 5 minutes.
- Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface and pat or roll into a round. Transfer crust to a lightly greased pizza pan or baker's peel dusted with cornmeal.
- Spread with desired toppings and bake in preheated oven for 15 to 20 minutes, or until golden brown. Let baked pizza cool for 5 minutes before serving.
- The dough will keep in the refrigerator for a few days - but is best when baked after preparing.
