Quick Pizza Dough
This quick pizza dough, which is incredibly simple to make and requires only 1 hour to rest, means that homemade pizza on a weeknight is now a reality.
Ingredients
- 1 1/4 cups warm water
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1 package (1/4 ounce) active dried yeast
- 3 1/2 cups “00” flour or all-purpose flour, plus more for the work surface
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 teaspoons kosher salt
Instructions
- In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the dough hook, combine the warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let sit for 5 minutes.
- Add the flour, oil, and salt and mix on low speed until the flour is incorporated, about 1 minute.
- Increase the speed to medium and mix until the dough is smooth, 4 to 8 minutes. Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover, and let rise for 1 hour in a warm place.
- Once the dough has finished rising, punch it down and divide it in half (each half will be about 14 oz [400 g]). Knead each piece on a lightly floured surface for 1 minute. Cover both dough balls with a clean cloth and allow to rest for 10 minutes.
- Proceed as directed with your pizza recipe.
