Fifteen Minute Pizza Dough

Easy homemade pizza dough - ready to bake in 15 minutes.

📝 Ingredients

• 2 teaspoons active dry yeast
• 1 teaspoon sugar
• 1 cup warm water (about 100° - you should be able to comfortably hold your hand in it at this temp)
• 3 Tablespoons olive oil
• 2 teaspoons kosher salt
• 2 1/2 cups (300g) all purpose flour, plus extra for dusting
• Your favorite pizza toppings!

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1Mix yeast, sugar, and warm water in a large bowl (you can also use a stand mixer fitted with the dough hook). Let stand 3-4 minutes until yeast begins to foam.
2. 2Add olive oil and salt to yeast mixture.
3. 3Stir in most of the flour, reserving about 1/2 cup, until dough starts to come together.
4. 4Take a look at your dough. If it is still too wet, add remaining flour a bit at a time and knead between each addition. The dough should pull itself into a ball as you stir but should still be slightly sticky to the touch. If the dough is too dry, add a splash of water or olive oil and stir or knead to work the liquid into the dough.
5. 5Cover dough with a tea towel and let it rest for at least 10 minutes. (If you have more time, let it rest for up to an hour to develop more flavor).
6. 6Turn dough onto a lightly floured surface and roll or shape normally.
7. 7Top with your favorite sauce, cheese, and toppings, and bake with your favorite method! We like to bake pizza on a hot baking steel at 450-500°F for 10-20 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and the crust is browned.
