Recipe type: Pizza Dough
Cuisine: Italian-American
Serves: 2 large pizzas
Ingredients
  • 2 cups warm water (temp of water you would put in a baby's bath)
  • 1 package active dry yeast or 2¼ tsp
  • 1 tbsp sugar
  • 2 tsp salt
  • 5½ cups flour
  • 1 tsp olive oil (optional)
  • Cornmeal (optional)
Instructions
  1. In a KitchenAid stand mixer or a Bosch mixer, combine the warm water, yeast, and sugar. Let it sit for 5 minutes.
  2. Next, add olive oil, salt, and flour. Attach the kneading hook, set on a low speed, and let the mixer mix and knead the dough for approx. 5 minutes or until the dough no longer sticks to the sides.
  3. Divide the dough into 2 large balls for 16" pizzas or 8-10 smaller balls if you want to make personal-sized pizzas.
  4. You can choose to use the dough immediately, or put it in a bag like pictured above and let it proof in the fridge for a few hours or overnight. I like to make it in the morning and use it at dinnertime.
  5. Next, roll dough out on a lightly floured surface to ¼- to ½-inch thick. Transfer to the pan you want to bake it in. I like to sprinkle the pan with cornmeal or line the pan with parchment paper.
  6. Once you have it rolled out, top with sauce, cheese, and your favorite toppings.
  7. Bake at 425 degrees for 12-16 minutes. Bake time will be dependent on how thick you roll out your dough.
  8. Enjoy!
