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 then 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 collage.
It’s one of the many dough recipes, which we had to know by heart!

How to make homemade Pizza Dough
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose Flour
- 1/2 Teaspoon Salt
- 1/2 Teaspoon Instant Yeast
- 1 Tablespoon Olive Oil
- ¼ cup Lukewarm Water
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.
