Easiest Ever Pizza Dough

Recipe #23137 | 40 min | 30 min prep | add private note

By: Sackville

This is so easy to make — no long rising times and all in one bowl! And, if you don't feel like pizza, try just brushing the dough with olive oil, and topping with olives, parmesan cheese and rosemary to make foccacia bread. I have also topped it with a mixture of oil, finely chopped fresh herbs (parsley, basil, oregano) and garlic paste.

SERVES 3 -4 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

Directions

  1. 1
    Throw all ingredients into a bowl and mix together with a food processor (using dough hooks) or by hand.
  2. 2
    The dough will be fairly sticky but don't add any more flour.
  3. 3
    Instead scrape it into an oiled bowl, cover with a cloth and leave to rise for 30 minutes or until doubled in size. I like to let my dough rise in an ever-so-slightly warmed oven or in an airing cupboard.
  4. 4
    When dough is finished rising, pre-heat oven to 400 F degrees.
  5. 5
    Turn onto a floured surface and work in a bit more flour until the dough loses its stickiness -- you shouldn't need too much -- then roll out to desired size, keeping the dough about 1/2 inch thick.
  6. 6
    Leave to rise for about 10 minutes, before topping with your favourite ingredients.
  7. 7
    Put on a baking sheet sprinkled with flour or cornmeal and bake for 10-15 minutes in a very hot oven until lightly browned. Our standard is 230-240 C in a fan oven for 10 minutes on a top shelf.

Very good. Very easy. I didn't want it too thick, so I just used the dough to make one pizza and a few breadsticks for my pizza hating son (seriously-I have a son who does not like pizza, I know, that's weird)

    This is without a doubt the best pizza dough ever! My sister makes it often and today she grilled it on the barbecue before she put the toppings on it and finished it in the oven. If she wants a thinner crust she just cuts the dough in half after it is finished rising. We just love it! Thanks for sharing!

    This is one of the best recipes I have ever tried for pizza dough. Usually I use the bread machine to make my dough but since I have ventured out and have tried a few recipes that didn't call for the machine I am very proud to say I no longer need to rely on the machine to do the work now. This recipe was excellent I did add 1 tsp of salt and sugar and also added 2 tsp of Italian Dressing Seasoning Dry Mix for a extra flavor in the dough. I put the dough in a bowl and covered the top with a towel and set on the top of the warm oven for 30min. than spread out on the pizza pan. I baked the dough for 5 min. than added the rest of what I used for topping and placed back in oven for 8 more minutes at 425' It was great! Thanks for sharing the recipe

    My human dad asked me to send in this review. Please note that this is a review of the recipe AFTER Friedel and my dad had an on-line discussion following the 2-star review that he previously sent in, and after Friedel was kind enough to send a correction of the recipe to Recipezaar. What a difference it made to have the ingredients and instructions made clear by the author. We wound up making 2 more batches because it was so good and easy to make, and it got used as follows: (1) pizza crust for homemade pizza; (2) the dough ingredient in Chef ChrissyO’s Sausage Bread Roll for doggies (that would be me) - her recipe is ID # 28379; and (3) rounded into small individual focaccia breads, which were topped with caramelized onions, chopped tomatoes, chopped artichoke hearts, minced garlic, chopped olives, fresh rosemary, and ground black pepper. As a result of the voracious consumption of these three goodies that subsequently occurred in our household, it is necessary and just to change the words “heavy and chewy” in the previous review to “airy, delicious and extremely versatile” in this review. And, without hesitation or reservation, to upgrade the rating from 2 stars to 5.
