Pizza Dough Recipe

Hello friends, our pizza series continue and if you are not aware, we began with an Easy No cook Pizza sauce. Today we will be making pizza dough! This recipe is so easy to make and if you love thin crust pizzas (Italian style) then you will love this as well.

You will need:

A standing mixer dough hook or Food processor with a dough attachment

If you don’t have any of the above your hands will do the job as well! (get ready to work hard lool)

500g Italian “00” flour or strong white bread flour (if you cannot get the “00” flour)

7g dried quick yeast

1.5 cup warm water

1.5 teaspoon salt

1.5 teaspoon sugar

2 table spoon olive oil

This recipe yielded 786g dough and I split the dough into three parts, equals to 262g! That means you can get three different pizzas from this dough recipe! I Love my pizzas with thin crust and the pizzas that were made turned out beautifully!

Directions

  1. In a separate bowl add in the yeast, sugar and water (lukewarm) stir together and let it rest for 5 minutes.

  2. In another bowl combine flour, salt and olive oil and yeast mixture and Knead together. A food processor or mixer with a dough attachment can be used to make faster and easier. I use a food processor because I am not the best kneader in town lool!

  3. When dough is formed, divide the dough into three equal portions. (I find that having a portable kitchen scale makes life so much easier, it’s not expensive at all). This recipe yielded 786g dough and I split the dough into three equals to 262g!

  4. Now Shape the portioned dough into a ball.

  5. Using olive oil, grease three bowls or a large tray. Place dough in the bowls (making sure the dough is also greased on the outside) or tray (leaving space between them) & cover with a warm cloth. Leave it to rise in a warm place for an hour or until doubled in size.

  6. When doubled in size, punch the dough down to release the air and stretch the dough or roll out to your desired shape. Please NOTE: Do not over work the dough.
