Homemade Pizza Dough

Meet your go-to pizza dough. It’s tender, crispy, and perfect for our White Pizza recipe. You’ll want to make a double batch so you're ready for your next pizza night.

Ingredients

    • 1¾ cups (425 mL) all-purpose flour
    • 1½ tsp (7 mL) instant yeast
    • 1 tsp (5 mL) salt
    • 1 tsp (5 mL) sugar
    • ¾ cup (175 mL) warm water (120–130°F/49–55°C)
    • 1 tbsp (15 mL) olive oil, plus more for brushing

Directions

  1. Combine all the dry ingredients. Add the warm water and olive oil. Stir until combined. If it seems too dry (has a crumbly exterior and unable to form a smooth ball) you can add an additional teaspoon of warm water.
  2. Transfer onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead until it forms a smooth, firm ball, about 5–6 minutes.
  3. Brush the bottom of a bowl with olive oil, add the dough, and brush oil on the top to coat.
  4. Cover with plastic wrap or a clean kitchen towel and let rise until doubled in size, about 1–2 hours.
  5. When ready to make a pizza, place the dough onto a lightly floured surface and flatten with your hands, starting at the center and working outwards, turning and stretching into a 12" (30-cm) round disk, forming a lip around the edge.
