How do you make pizza crust from scratch?
Whisk together the flour, salt and yeast in a large mixing bowl.
Pour in the water and olive oil.
Stir together with a sturdy wooden spoon until a shaggy dough is formed.
Knead for 10 minutes until dough is smooth, elastic and stretchy.
This can be done by hand or in your stand mixer on medium.
Place dough back into bowl, cover and let it rise for 1-2 hours until double in size.
What to make with this dough?
As I said earlier, this recipe is the ONLY one I will use from now on when making my pepperoni bread or spinach pepperoni bread.
It just makes both of these recipes SO much better!
The crust is light, fluffy, and so much more delicious than doughs I’ve used in the past.
It is the perfect pizza crust for her Classic Homestyle Sheet Pan Pizza (page 40).
When making a pizza, how long do I cook it?
When making a sheet pan pizza, preheat your oven to 425°F, and bake for 25 – 30 minutes or until the crust is set and has golden brown edges.
When making the 12-inch (30 cm) or 10-inch (25 cm) round pizzas, preheat the oven to 425°F. and bake for 20-25 minutes or until crust is set and is golden around the edges.
I’ve used it to make these Parmesan Bread Bites, and they were delicious! They’re super easy to make once the dough has been made, and lots of fun to pop into your mouth after dipping them in some marinara.
