Step By Step Directions For Easy 5-Minute Pizza Dough Recipe

Preheat The Oven

First, I preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

Prep the Dry Ingredients

In a stand mixer with the dough hook attachment add the flour and salt.

Let the Yeast Bloom

In a separate bowl combine warm water, yeast and sugar until bubbly and sugar dissolved. About 5 minutes.

Ready to Mix

Turn on the mixer and slowly pour in the water mixture. Continue to run mixer on low and add the olive oil.

Knead it!

Blend and knead just until combined and pulling away from the sides of the mixer.

Let it Rise

Cover and allow to rise for 5 min (longer if not using an instant yeast).

Roll it Out

Roll the dough into the shape you would like – or use your hands to flatten it out!

Add Toppings

Add leftovers from the fridge, your favorite meats and cheeses and even a drizzle of hot honey if you’re feeling it! See some of our favorite combinations below.

Time to Bake

Bake at 350°F for 12-15 minutes, until golden.

For best results, let cool before slicing. Enjoy!
