Fast Pizza Dough

Published August 1, 2012

This fast pizza dough is so easy and good.  You will love it.

Pizza Crusts is one of those things I’ve struggled with as a bread maker. I have no idea why. That and Artisan Bread. White Bread, Wheat Bread, Rolls, Buttery Soft Pretzels, you can see, yeast and I are friends. But I’ve tried tons of pizza dough recipes and just never been happy with the end result.


Then a few months back, I saw some chat about a new Pizza Crust yeast. I was jealous. Here’s this cool new yeast and everyone is making pizza with it while I sit at home sulking because I know it won’t be available around here for months. One of the down falls of living in small town and rural. Specialty products take their sweet time getting here. I squealed when I finally saw it at the store. And I bought a ton of it.

This photo is actually from my second buying spree. I tell you for a baker, this stuff is gold. And so easy to work with. You can use a mixer or just combine by hand. I even took all the ingredients with us on our beach vacation and made fresh pizzas while there. I sent the leftover yeast home with my step daughter so she could start making pizza too.

Fast Pizza Dough

1 3/4 -2 1/4 cup all purpose flour
1 envelope pizza yeast
1 1/2 teaspoons sugar
1 teaspoon salt
2/3 cup very warm water
3 tablespoons olive oil

In a large bowl, combine 1 cup flour, yeast, sugar and salt. Stir with a fork, just to combine. Add water and oil, Mix until well blended, it will remind you of watery school paste.

Gradually add enough of the remaining flour to form a soft dough. It will still be sticky. Knead dough with any remaining flour for about 5 minutes, working the dough back and forth.

This dough is kind, you really can’t mess it up. I just knead it right in the mixing bowl.

Let dough rest for a minute while you prepare your baking sheet. Use about 1-2 tablespoons of oil to grease your baking sheet.

Now just start stretching your dough to fit your baking sheet. I use both hands with the dough hanging and work around the edges stretching, then when the dough is almost to the size of the baking sheet, I lay it out and finish shaping on the sheet.

It doesn’t have to be perfect, it doesn’t have to be round. Now just start adding your sauce and toppings. Looking for a good sauce?  This is the one we’re using, Homemade Pizza Sauce.

Cheese, pepperoni, more cheese.

Bake in a preheated 425 oven for 12-15 minutes. Slice and enjoy.

Just look at that perfect crust.

About Grace

When I was younger, I was constantly in the kitchen helping my mom bake. It was fun getting to play with the flour and always getting to lick the spoon. Iโ€™ve always expressed an interest in baking and now I feel that itโ€™s the right time for me to take over. I am a college student working towards a nursing degree as well as a full-time aunt to the sweetest little kids (they might pop up in some of the posts). Iโ€™ve learned most of what I know about baking and cooking from my mom, and I am continuing to self-teach through trial and error, which means plenty of sweets to be eaten. Read more...

    Wow, I’ve never heard of the pizza yeast. I’ll have to look for it. I have a pizza dough recipe that I love, but it does take several hours, so I’ll have to get some of this for last-minute pizza cravings!

    hello,
    what part in the oven do you bake it, middle or lower half?
    thanks for your time.

    Crazy question but would this dough be strong enough to make mini pizza pockets? Im going to make this for pizza tonight but hope to use it for pizza pockets for my husband’s lunches. Thanks for the recipe!!

    Just found this recipe while looking at others. I have been using the pizza yeast for some time now and absolutely love the way it works in pizza dough. Going to try this recipe, sounds so easy, hate to wait for the raising of the dough each time. Will let you know how it turns out at high elevations. Thanks for the wonderful recipes and your dedication to helping others get better in the kitchen.

      Thanks Vickie! Using this blog to share recipes is just the modern day version of sharing them over the back fence.

    Would love to try!! It looks easy and delicious. But we live in South Africa and will probably have to wait 2 years for the product to reach our shores. VERY tempted to ask you to ship me some! Lol
