Easy Artisan Pizza Dough Recipe

Uh-oh! We're unable to calculate nutrition for this recipe because some ingredients aren't recognized.

Step 1

Mix all dry ingredients together in mixer and give it a quick mix. Flour, yeast, salt, & sugar.

Step 2

Add the first 1 3/4 cups of water and olive oil.( reserve the rest of the water to add later if needed)

Step 3

Mix on low-medium speed for 3 minutes with dough hook

Step 4

Let rest 5 minutes

Step 5

Dough should be tacky, a little wet but not sticky and will clear the sides of mixer. Add more water if too dry or more flour if too wet.

Step 6

Mix on low speed for another 5 minutes

Step 7

Remove dough and place on floured surface and form into ball.

Step 8

Take a knife and cut into 4 sections( med pizza 12") or 6 sections( small pizza 6")

Step 9

Form balls for each piece and place on a tray greased with olive oil. Pour some olive oil on hands and coat each dough ball as well.

Step 10

Cover with plastic wrap and let sit for 1 hr. If not using that day wrap each ball with plastic wrap and place on tray in freeze. If using the next day thaw in fridge the night before and when ready to use and let sit out for at least 1 hr at room temperature. It's ok if you don't it will still work but the longer the better the crust will be.

Step 11

Preheat oven to 500 degrees. (If using an outdoor gas pizza oven heat to 500-800 degrees)

Step 12

Roll out dough to shape into round discs for pizza. On your pizza peel or pan sprinkle some corn meal before placing dough on it. The corn meal helps slide the dough off the peel into the oven. Drizzle some olive oil to dough before adding toppings. Add your favorite pizza toppings. Little toppings is better. Dont make it heavy or it won't slide off into the oven easily. Transferring your pizza wont work and you will have a huge mess! The corn meal helps slide the dough off the peel into the over. Using a pizza stone enhances the crust as well, I highly recommend it.

Step 13

Cook time: Depending on your oven type ( pizza oven, electric oven..etc) the cook time could take fr0m 5- 12 minutes. It will also depend on how well done you like your pizza's.

Step 14

Place pizza in oven and cook until crust is golden brown and cheese is bubbly to your preference. 5-8 minutes or until done to your liking.
