    I am a complete Pizza fanatic.

    Most probably I can confidently confess here that I am in love with the concept called Pizza.

    It's the flavors, the simplicity and the fact that you can top it with whatever you like.

    You can use leftover ingredients from the fridge and you can make pizza when you don't know what else to make for dinner.

    Pizza night happens at least once a week in my home.

    I usually prepare the dough quickly in less than 10 minutes and then I just let it rest for about 30 minutes or more.

    Then, only rolling out, topping the pizza base and baking the pizza is left and that's the fun part anyway!

    The easy pizza dough recipe originated from my time at hotel management college.

    It's one of the many dough recipes, which we had to know by heart!

    In Europe thin crust pizzas a popular and common.

    In the Mediterranean area, pizzas tend to be round.

    In the German-speaking countries, square pizzas are way more common because of the baking pan size and shape.

    Whichever shape you choose to pick for your easy pizza dough recipe is up to you.

    A pizza in Italy is never perfectly round.

    In fact, the pizza will have bumps and will be uneven.

    That's the beauty of a real original Italian pizza!

    I prefer to take the 10 minutes to just make my own dough because the pizza crust is a vital part, which will decide how good your pizza will turn out.

    Basically, you know what's in it and the pizza always turns out amazing!

    homemade pizza crust, how to make pizza dough
    Prep Time: 15 minutes
    Total Time: 15 minutes
    Servings: 12 slices of one crust
    Calories: 88kcal
    Recipe by: Helene Dsouza

    Ingredients

    • 2 cups All-purpose Flour
    • ½ Teaspoon Salt
    • ½ Teaspoon Instant Yeast
    • 1 Tablespoon Olive Oil
    • ¼ cup Lukewarm Water
    US - Metric

    Instructions

    • In a mixing bowl add the flour salt and yeast. Mix the dry ingredients well. Then make a well into the center and add olive oil and water.
    • With your clean hands, mix the content and slowly shape it into a dough. Continue to form for a few more minutes so that it turns into a smooth dough.
    • Sprinkle some flour over the dough and place a cloth over it. Let it rest for minimum 30 minutes or more near a warm place. The longer you can leave it to rest, the better. The dough needs to rise, the yeast in the dough eats the sugars and that creates the airiness in your dough.
    • Sprinkle some flour over your working area and work out your dough again for a little while.
    • Roll out the dough into a round or square shape (depends on your baking pan size) and top with your favorite pizza topping. Bake at 430° Fahrenheit/ 220° Celsius for about 13 minutes.

      If I cover the ball with a cloth, how does the oven light get to it?

        Lorraine, thanks for your question.
        Oven lights create heat too and even if it's just a little, it does help in the rising process, especially if you cover the dough with a cloth. It's not about the light, the yeast needs warmth to develop. I hope that answers your question, please let me know if something else is unclear. 🙂

        You can print the recipe by tapping on the print button in the recipe. It's a grey button. It will open a new window with the print version and it will prompt your printer configuration.

      Can you freeze this for making it in advance?

        Yes sure but roll the dough out and place it between two baking paper sheets and roll it in. Store it that way in the freezer. However, I always suggest to make it fresh, the flavors are better and you can control the dough rising better that way.

      Love it! I didnt' realize it was SO easy to make your own dough. We've always bought ours at Trader Joes, but we've gotta try this the next time it's pizza night!

      I always thought making pizza from scratch would be so difficult, but your recipe doesn't seem that way at all! And I love thin crust pizza! It's way better than that greasing dip dish stuff.

      Now if I made this, I would stretch out the dough thinner. I love when pizza crust is crunchy!

        Yes good point! If you like your pizza dough more crunchy baked then just roll it out even thinner. Thanks for sharing Katie! 🙂

      I love homemade pizza but unfortunately my daughter is not a pizza lover so we rarely have it these days! You really can't beat a good homemade pizza though!
