This is a no-fuss dough recipe for beginners. You need just 6 basic ingredients, plus a little cornmeal for preparing the pan. (You can skip that if needed.) Most of the time is hands off as the dough rises. You might wonder… why waste the time when you can just buy frozen pizza dough?

Thin Crust Pizza Dough Recipe
Reader, Andy, commented: “Super easy, super fast, super good! I don’t like doughy thick pizzas and I find with this recipe that I can make them thin and crunchy, I love how easy it is. I make pizza once or twice a month! Haven’t bought one for quite some time now! ★★★★★“
If you’ve ever made homemade bagels or sandwich bread, you can easily make pizza dough because it’s quicker, easier, and requires fewer steps.
All pizza dough starts with the same basic ingredients: flour, yeast, water, salt, and olive oil. Here’s the breakdown of what I use in my homemade pizza crust recipe. The full printable recipe is below.
Super Fast Thin Crust Pizza Recipe
Reader, Shane, commented: “Excellent pizza dough. I add about 1 tbs of garlic powder and Italian herbs to give the dough more flavor as well as 40 grams of cornmeal for a little crunch. It freezes well and makes a nice thin crust. ★★★★★“
Pizza crust, like homemade bagels, artisan bread, and focaccia, requires a lean dough. A lean dough doesn’t use eggs or butter. Without the extra fat to make the dough soft, you’re promised a crusty pizza crust. (However, I recommend using some olive oil for flavor and to keep the interior on the softer side.) Recipes like dinner rolls, homemade breadsticks, and overnight cinnamon rolls require fat to yield a “rich dough, ” which creates a softer and more dessert-like bread.
Young bakers can lend a hand AND have fun in the process. Let the kids help you press down the dough and shape into a circle. They can add their cheeses and make pepperoni faces on top of the pie. Who doesn’t love a smiley pizza? 🙂

Let me share my top choices for pizza pans just in case you’re shopping for a new one.I use and love (affiliate links)this oneandthis one. If you like baking your homemade pizzas on pizza stones, I’ve usedthis onebefore and it’s wonderful.
If you don’t have a pizza pan, use a regular sheet pan. Grease it with olive oil and sprinkle with cornmeal as directed below, and then press the dough into whatever shape that will fit. Make sure the dough is about 1/2-inch thick. For a thinner pizza, stretch the dough out more.
Prepare the dough through step 3 below, but allow the dough to rise for 8-12 hours in the refrigerator. (If it needs to be in the refrigerator for longer, use cooler water in the dough which will slow the dough’s rise and allow for more time.) As a bonus, the slow rise gives the pizza dough wonderful flavor! When ready, continue with step 5 in the recipe below (the shaping step). If the dough didn’t quite double in size when rising, let it sit at room temperature for 30-45 minutes before shaping.
Soft And Chewy Pretzel Crust Pizza
This recipe yields two 12-inch pizzas. After the pizza dough rises and you divide the dough in half (step 5), you can freeze one of the balls of dough to make pizza at a later time. Or you can simply freeze both balls of dough separately. Lightly coat all sides of the dough ball(s) with nonstick spray or olive oil. Place thedough ball(s) into individual zipped-top bag(s) and seal tightly, squeezing out all the air.Freeze for up to 3 months.
Place the frozen pizza dough in the refrigerator for about 8 hours or overnight. When ready to make pizza, remove the dough from the refrigerator and allow to rest for 30 minutes on the counter. Continue with step 5 in the recipe below.
Follow these basic instructions for a thick, crisp, and chewy pizza crust at home. The recipe yields enough pizza dough for two 12-inch pizzas and you can freeze half of the dough for later. Close to 2 pounds of dough total.

Mix Dough:Stir yeast with warm water and a pinch of sugar and set aside for 5 minutes, to proof. (It should get foamy on top, which means it’s active. If not, then the yeast may be old). Add to a mixing bowl with remaining water, salt, vinegar, and olive oil.Gradually add the flour as you knead the dough on a medium-low speed for about 7 minutes.
Rise: Transfer the dough to a greased bowl, cover with a dry kitchen towel and allow to rise for about an hour, or until about double in size. Divide the dough into 2-3 equal portions (makes about two 14” or three 9” pizzas).

Roll into Circle: Spray your work surface lightly with cooking spray, or dust lightly with flour. Use a rolling pin or your hands to roll and stretch the dough to your desired size.
Sprinkle a little cornmeal and flour on a pizza peel and place the rolled out dough on top. The cornmeal will help the dough slide onto a pizza stone, the grill, or into a pizza oven. (If you don’t have a pizza peel, you can place the pizza crust on a piece of parchment paper to lift and set it onto your hot pizza stone or baking tray. Make sure to top it with my homemade pizza sauce, cheese, and your favorite toppings!

Pre-Bake Dough, if cooking pizza in the oven. If you’re baking the pizza in the oven, whether on a pizza stone or not, I always pre-bake the dough for 4-5 minutes before adding toppings, to make sure the pizza dough cooks crisp on the outside and soft and airy in the middle. Once you add the Pizza Sauce and toppings, return it to the oven to finish baking.
