A very quick way to make your own home-made pizza. This dough rises up nice and has a very light flavour. It can also be made in your bread machine on the 'dough' cycle.

1 pizza dough (change servings and units)

Ingredients

  • 2 cups flour
  • 1 tablespoon yeast
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 2/3 cup lukewarm water (plus an additional 2 tbsp)

Directions

  1. 1
    Mix 1 cup of flour with all other ingredients.
  2. 2
    Gradually add 2nd cup of flour until it forms a ball. Use your hands to form and knead the dough.
  3. 3
    Let the dough rest 10-15 minutes in a bowl covered with a dish towel or saran to keep it warm.
  4. 4
    Spread out onto greased pizza pan and top with your favorite toppings.
  5. 5
    Bake at 375 degrees for approximately 15 minutes. Enjoy!

    Thank you for sharing this quick recipe using yeast. Although I do have a recipe for thin crust using no yeast, this will be my go to recipe from now on if I have yeast on hand, like a previous reviewer I really don't understand why is it necessary to let pizza dough rise and rise and rise or wait for hours. I can't plan ahead that far. For the water, I did have to make sure it was very hot to work with instant yeast according to the package directions. It took me a little more than 1 cup of flour to make the dough smooth and I also did need to add a tablespoon of oil. This made 2 pizza doughs for me the size of a cookie sheet- but keep I rolled it out till it was thinner too. I just recently started making homemade pizza and this passed my husbands approval with a big thumbs up. When done, it was crispy on top and soft and tasty inside. Thank you for sharing!

    I have been looking for a really good dough recipe for a long time. This was excellent. I put all the dry ingredients in the food processor and just added the warm water. Worked great. I also added a teaspoon of dried basil. This will definitely be used many more times. Thanks so much for sharing your recipe.
