Pizza Recipes Crust

This Quick and Easy Pizza Dough requires just 5 minutes of prep! Top with your favorite toppings, bake and you can have homemade pizza in 30 minutes!

There is a super quick, incredibly easy pizza dough recipe that I have been using for the last year or two, and it’s just time to share.

Pizza

I’ll admit, I have another whole wheat pizza dough recipe on The Recipe Rebel that uses active dry yeast, and requires rising (though I supposed you could bake without), and I just don’t use that one anymore because this recipe is so easy.

Easy Homemade Pizza Dough

It makes you appreciate a homemade pizza you can have on the table in 30 minutes (provided your toppings are mostly prepped).

I timed myself making this pizza dough when I was testing it, and I did it in 5 MINUTES. How awesome is that?!?

That being said, if this is your first time making pizza dough, or you have some other distractions, it might be closer to 10.

Cheesy Crust Pizza

I love pizza night because I can whip up the dough anytime I have 10 minutes, then either let it rest on the counter (I’ll leave it up to 3-4 hours and it will rise and become nice and fluffy, but this recipe makes incredible pizza without any rise time at all), or stash it in the refrigerator.

The yeast will keep working in the refrigerator, but it will work very slowly, so you won’t see much rise at all.

This is handy if you want to make your pizza dough, say, 4 hours up to 3 days in advance and you don’t want your dough ball to grow into a yeasty monster, spilling out of your bowl and all over your counters 😉

Let thaw at room temperature or in the refrigerator (this will take a few hours), then place in a greased bowl, cover and place in a warm spot to rise.

It may take a little longer to warm thoroughly and to rise, but it is worth the extra time because it will be just as fluffy as it is fresh!

Parbaking just means they are partially cooked, then frozen. So you can top them and bake until golden and save yourself some work down the line!

Simply roll it out onto a pan and bake about half way, usually about 5-6 minutes. It should look slightly dry and puffed, but won’t be golden.

*Because we are using instant yeast instead of active dry yeast, the temperature of the water matters less, because it does not need to be proofed. Warm water still works best (never hot), but instant yeast is not fussy.

My name is Ashley Fehr and I love creating easy meals my family loves. I also like to do things my way, which means improvising and breaking the rules when necessary.

I’ll be honest, Friday is our pizza night and we usually just order pizza for delivery. Lately though, we’ve had a lot of time on our hands and have been making pizza more often. So often, that I realized I haven’t shared this recipe with you.

An Excellent No Yeast Pizza Dough

This pizza dough recipe has a soft yet chewy crust and uses everyday ingredients. Some pizza dough calls for ’00’ flour which leads to a softer dough but quite frankly I never have it on hand.

Instant yeast is used in this recipe but active yeast can be substituted 1:1. If you use active yeast the rise time will be about double.

Although instant yeast does not have to be “proofed” or activated in liquid like active dry yeast, dissolving instant yeast in liquid with sugar which feeds the yeast gives it a good start in rising.

Gluten Free Pizza Dough

Another good reason to start the yeast in a liquid is to see if the yeast is active. If it’s not foamy it is probably old, killed, or not activated correctly. If your water is too cold it won’t activate and if it’s too hot it will kit it.

If your house is as cold as mine, you’ll need a warm place for your dough to rise. I usually heat the oven and set the bowl on top of the counter above the oven. The heat rising up is usually enough. You can also turn the oven on for a few minutes then turn it off and let the dough rise in the oven.

Once the dough has risen in a warm place, divide it in half. Each round of dough will make approximately a 12-inch pizza.

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? 🙂
