Sicilian Pizza Dough

Recipe #31072 | 1 hour | 45 min prep | add private note

By: Lisa Pizza

I saw Nick Stellino make this dough and use it to make four calzones. It will also make two pizzas. I've done both and they turn out wonderfully! My key to a great pizza is to slice everything VERY thin and to not pile it on too thick. Our usual pizza is feta, garlic, freshly grated parm, fresh spinach, toasted pine nuts, tomatoes, mushrooms, mozzarella, a drizzle of olive oil and salt and pepper. I highly recommend it!

SERVES 4 , 2 pizza pies (change servings and units)

  1. 1
    Coat a large bowl with teaspoon of olive oil and set aside.

    Dough should double (at least).

A lovely pizza dough! Rose beautifully and handled wonderfully - baked up perfectly. I made two thin crust pizzas, but will definitely try when I want to make a deep-dish pizza. Thanks for posting!

    Made this awhile ago and I've kept it bookmarked. Makes an absolutely wonderful pizza dough, very easy to make. Variations include using whole-grain flour, and we also made one in which we added rosemary salt into the dough mixture. Came up beautiful! Especially for my gourmet-food-loving in laws!

    This recipe makes an extraordinarily good crust, unlike ANY of the commercial ones I have ever tasted. It was fresh and flavourful. For the first time ever I saw the crust as a positive contributing factor to the ultimate taste of a pizza rather than just something to support all my favourite toppings. It begs the question, why haven’t I done this before? I think my perception was that it would be time-consuming and difficult may be the ultimate answer. It was neither. While the dough did it’s rising thing, I merrily sliced and diced my favourite fixings. When it came to assembly I was pleasantly surprised to find that I didn’t have to send the dough artfully spinning off into space to achieve a successful crust. It was great fun, thank you Lisa.

    This also makes a wonderful 'deep dish' pizza crust as pictured above. The recipe will make one deep dish crust. Brush rimmed baking sheet with olive oil, place dough into pan and shape and dimple with finger tips. Brush top with olive oil and pre-bake at 425 F for 7 minutes - then add toppings and bake for another 10-15 minutes.
