Pizza Dough Recipe
This easy pizza dough recipe is quick to make and perfect for any pizza night, offering a fresh and customizable base for your favorite toppings.
Ingredients
- 2 ¼ teaspoons Instant Yeast
- ¾ cup Warm Water (105-115°F)
- 2 teaspoons Sugar
- 2 cups All-Purpose or Bread Flour
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- ¼ teaspoon Garlic Powder
- 2 tablespoons Olive Oil
Instructions
- In a small bowl, dissolve the yeast and sugar in warm water. Cover with plastic wrap and set aside for 5 minutes until frothy.
- In a large bowl, combine salt, garlic powder, and half of the flour. Stir in the yeast mixture and olive oil.
- Gradually add the remaining flour. Knead the dough in the bowl for 3-5 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
- Drizzle olive oil in a separate bowl, place the dough inside, and cover with plastic wrap. Allow it to rise for 30-60 minutes, until doubled in size.
- Punch down the dough to release air, shape it back into a ball, and use or store as desired.
Notes
- Warm water at the correct temperature (105-115°F) is key for activating yeast.
- Allowing the dough to rise for at least 30 minutes enhances flavor and texture.
- You can freeze extra dough for future use.
