Why This Easy Pizza Dough Recipe Works

Making your own pizza dough is a simple process that starts with flour and yeast. After letting it rise, you can add toppings and sauce. Although making homemade pizza dough involves several steps, it is easy and significantly less expensive than delivery.

• Easy to make. After waking up the yeast in warm sugar water, add all the ingredients to your stand mixer and let it go! Separate the dough into two balls and let it rise before pressing it into your pizza pan. No rolling pin is needed!
• Tender and chewy. When you work with yeast, patience is rewarded! The texture is much better when you let the dough rest for a few hours before rolling it out. The extra time makes a huge difference!
• Inexpensive. Since this dough is made from just a handful of ingredients, it is delicious and affordable.
• So versatile. You can use this for more than a pizza recipe! Make calzones, stromboli, rolls, flatbreads, breadsticks, bites, and more. There's so much you can do with a ball of dough!
