Speedy pizza dough recipe suitable for thinner crusts. Makes enough dough for two pizzas!
You'll need...
  • 4½ teaspoons yeast
  • ½ teaspoon sugar
  • 1½ cups water (120 degrees)
  • 3½ cups flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • Pizza sauce
  • Shredded cheese (a combination of mozzarella and cheddar is nice)
  • Toppings of your choice
Here's what to do...
  1. Measure 2¼ c flour into a stand mixer bowl then mix in the yeast.
  2. Stir in sugar and water and let the dough sit in the bowl for 15 minutes.
  3. Add salt and remaining flour (about 1¼ cups) and knead for a few minutes with the dough hook.
  4. Cut dough in half and roll each half into a ball.
  5. Place each ball of dough on a lightly greased pizza pan. Let the dough rest for 10 minutes.
  6. Heat the oven to 500°
  7. For each pizza, spread the dough evenly on the pan.
  8. Spread sauce, cheese and toppings on the dough.
  9. Bake each pizza on pan until crust is lightly browned (8-10 minutes). If the top gets brown before the bottom does, you can slide the pizza off the pan and onto the oven rack for a minute, but watch it closely!
