Super Simple Homemade 10 Minute Pizza Dough Recipes

QUICK AND EASY PIZZA CRUST

Steps:

• 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.

SUPER QUICK PIZZA DOUGH

Steps:

• Mix yeast in warm water until dissolved.
• Stir in oil and flour until it forms a dough ball.
• Cover bowl with a kitchen towel, place on top of your stove while the oven is warming up.
• Let rise for 15 minutes.
• Spread on pizza pan, jelly roll pan or baking stone (I've used them all).
• Top with your favorite sauce, meats, veggies, herbs and/or cheeses!

QUICK PIZZA DOUGH

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 500 degrees. NOT BROIL. If you have a pizza stone, be sure it's in the oven before you turn it on (This prevents is from cracking). If you are not using a pizza stone you can use the back of a cookie sheet -- see instructions below.
• Pour the warm water in a large bowl. Add the yeast and let it sit for about a minute until it's looking a little foamy.
• Add the flour, sugar, salt, and olive oil. Stir to combine (I use a sturdy spatula or wooden spoon) and form a shaggy dough.
• Flour a clean work surface and dump the dough onto it. Knead the dough for about 4 minutes, incorporating any dry bits that weren't mixed in the bowl.
• Place the dough back in the bowl and cover it with a kitchen towel (I know the bowl is dirty; it's fine.). Put the bowl on top of the stove (the heat from the oven will make the dough more pliable) and let it sit for 5 minutes.
• While you wait for the dough, get your pizza toppings ready -- grate your cheese, slice onions and peppers, etc.
• If you have a pizza peel, rub it with flour and dust with cornmeal (this prevents sticking). If you do not have a pizza peel you can use a wooden cutting board OR you can assemble and bake on THE BACK of a cookie sheet.
• Divide the dough in half (well-floured hands help) and stretch it carefully into a circle. I like a thinner crust so I just leave a slight lip around the edge of my circle and I stretch it pretty thin but this is all about preference (Note: thicker dough will take a little longer to cook).
• Place your circle on the peel/cutting board/cookie sheet you set up and add your toppings.
• If you are using the cookie sheet, place it right in the oven (middle rack) and bake for 10 minutes.
• If you heated a pizza stone in the oven, carefully slide your pizza off the peel or cutting board and onto the stone. Bake for 10 minutes (more if you opted for a thicker crust) or until the crust is golden and the cheese is melted.
• Repeat with the second dough.
• EAT.

SUPER SIMPLE HOMEMADE PIZZA DOUGH

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F with pizza stone in oven.
• Combine yeast and warm water into mixing bowl. Let sit for a few minutes until it looks "foamy".
• Add in sugar, salt, and olive oil. Add flour 1 cup at a time while mixing with dough hook on low.
• Knead until all ingredients mixed and dough is not sticky.
• Roll dough into a ball and place on stove in mixing bowl with a kitchen towel on top.
• Let rise for 5-10 minutes. (During this time, I typically grate my cheese, start my pizza sauce, and collect all the other ingredients).
• Divide dough in half and roll out each half on a floured surface into a circle.
• Place on preheated pizza stone or cookie sheet with cornmeal sprinkled. Push down areas for the crust to form. Then put the pizza together to your liking! We normally add tomato sauce, cheese, veggies, and sometimes meat.
• Depending on size and toppings, bake between 12-18 minutes.
• If desired, melt butter with garlic and drizzle on crust to make a garlic crust.
• Enjoy!!

THE BEST PIZZA DOUGH

Steps:

• In a small bowl, mix warm water and 1 teaspoon sugar; add yeast and whisk until dissolved. Let stand until bubbles form on surface. In a large bowl, whisk 3 cups flour, salt, remaining 1 teaspoon sugar and, if desired, dried herbs. Make a well in center; add yeast mixture and oil. Stir until smooth. Add enough remaining flour to form a soft dough. , Turn onto a floured surface; knead, adding more flour to surface as needed until no longer sticky and dough is smooth and elastic, 6-8 minutes. Place in a large greased bowl; turn once to grease top. Cover and let rise in a warm place for 30 minutes; transfer bowl to refrigerator and chill overnight. Allow dough to come to room temperature, about 30 minutes, before rolling.

EASY HOMEMADE PIZZA DOUGH

Steps:

• Stir whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, yeast, salt, sugar, olive oil, and warm water with a spatula until formed into a sticky ball of dough that pulls away from sides of a large bowl, about 3-4 minutes.
• Cover the bowl with a light cloth or plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place (80 to 95 degrees F (27 to 35 degrees C)) for 18 hours, until doubled in size.
• Preheat the oven to 550 degrees F (280 degrees C). Sprinkle a baking sheet with cornmeal.
• Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and sprinkle with more flour. Form the dough into a rectangle, and cut it into four equal parts. Shape each piece into a ball, stretching and tucking the dough to create a smooth surface, adding more flour if needed. Cover the dough balls with a towel and let rest for 15 minutes.
• To shape the dough, sprinkle the surface with flour and lightly pat flat. Use a rolling pin to form a thin disk about 9 inches in diameter.
• Transfer the formed crust to the prepared baking sheet and top as desired. Bake on the bottom rack for 4 minutes, move to the middle rack and bake for 5-6 minutes more minutes, until the bottom is crispy and the top is lightly browned. Move to cooling rack to cool slightly before serving.

EASY AS PIE 10-MINUTE NO-RISE THIN-CRUST PIZZA DOUGH

Steps:

• Proof the yeast in the warm water with the honey or sugar for 8-10 minutes or until foamy.
• Add the remaining ingredients together and knead well, about 2-5 minutes.
• If the dough seems a little sticky, dust your hands with some flour and knead again.
• Grease a pizza pan or pie pan with cooking spray, and place the dough into it-- entire thing if a 12" pie, or half for an 8" or 9" pan.
• I prefer to bake these crusts ahead of time-- but if you want to eat it now, you can put the sauce, cheese, toppings, etc. on it and use the same baking instructions.
• Bake at 500F for 8-12 minutes or until the edges are nice and brown.
