Easy Peasy 30 Minute Pizza Dough Recipes

EASY PIZZA DOUGH

Steps:

• *If baking immediately, preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Lightly grease a perforated pizza pan.
• In a medium bowl, stir together 1 cup of flour, yeast, salt, sugar, oregano and garlic.
• Add water and oil and stir until combined -- it will be a very wet dough.
• Add just enough of the remaining flour so that a soft but not sticky dough forms. Add the flour gradually and knead briefly until combined so that you can feel when it is ready -- it will still be soft (not feel firm or tough) but won't stick to your hands. To knead, simply press the flour into the dough, fold the dough and press, fold and press.
• Set covered in a warm, draft-free place to rise or bake immediately for thin crust pizza.
• To bake: roll dough out to fit a 12-15" pizza pan. Place dough circle on pan and stretch with your hands to reach the edges. Top with sauce, cheese and toppings.
• Bake at 425 degrees F for 12-15 minutes until desired crispness is reached. Broil for 1-2 minutes to brown the cheese if desired.

EASY PEEZY PIZZA DOUGH (BREAD MACHINE PIZZA DOUGH)

Steps:

• SOME PIZZA TOPPING IDEAS.
• Caramelised onions and roasted garlic.
• Mozzarella cheese, Camembert, Romano and Feta (for a really, really cheezy pizza!).
• Equal parts of basil pesto and olive oil mixed together with Parmesan or Romano cheese.
• Plus some roughly chopped sundried or SEMI-dried tomatoes, sliced black olives and LOTS of grated Mozzarella cheese, salt and lost of freshly ground black pepper!
• Cranberry jelly, shredded chicken, sliced Brie!
• Mozzarella cheese, shredded chicken and sliced avocado!
• THE BREAD.
• Place all the above ingredients in the order I have listed into the bread machine.
• Select the dough cycle and press start!
• When the dough cycle is complete, take the dough out of the machine and place in well greased bowl, and roll the dough around (in the bowl) thus 'coating' it in oil.
• Cover and leave to rise in a warm place for about 1/2 an hour.
• Knead the risen dough lightly.
• To shape and bake: roll the dough into a circle.
• Place on well greased baking tray or pizza pan.
• Then add a topping of your choice and bake at 225'C.
• NOTE: for a nice crisp and very thin pizza, bake BEFORE adding the topping AND after!

EASY PEASY 30-MINUTE PIZZA DOUGH

Steps:

• In a large bowl, place the warm water in first then the honey.
• Sprinkle the yeast on top, agitate the bowl slightly if you have to so the yeast gets immersed in the water. Wait 10-15 minutes or until foamy.
• Add the oil and salt.
• Blend in the flours and knead until elasticy, about 5 minutes or so.
• Cover with parchment paper or a dish towel and let rise for 20-30 minutes.
• Spray a cookie sheet, pizza stone, or round baking dish with cooking spray and put some dough in and you're set!
• I get about 4-5 8" mini pizzas out of this. Maybe more if I really rolled it out to make thin-crust.

EASY HOMEMADE PIZZA DOUGH

Steps:

• Stir whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, yeast, salt, sugar, olive oil, and warm water with a spatula until formed into a sticky ball of dough that pulls away from sides of a large bowl, about 3-4 minutes.
• Cover the bowl with a light cloth or plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place (80 to 95 degrees F (27 to 35 degrees C)) for 18 hours, until doubled in size.
• Preheat the oven to 550 degrees F (280 degrees C). Sprinkle a baking sheet with cornmeal.
• Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and sprinkle with more flour. Form the dough into a rectangle, and cut it into four equal parts. Shape each piece into a ball, stretching and tucking the dough to create a smooth surface, adding more flour if needed. Cover the dough balls with a towel and let rest for 15 minutes.
• To shape the dough, sprinkle the surface with flour and lightly pat flat. Use a rolling pin to form a thin disk about 9 inches in diameter.
• Transfer the formed crust to the prepared baking sheet and top as desired. Bake on the bottom rack for 4 minutes, move to the middle rack and bake for 5-6 minutes more minutes, until the bottom is crispy and the top is lightly browned. Move to cooling rack to cool slightly before serving.

EASY 30-MINUTE PIZZA DOUGH II

Steps:

• In a large bowl, place the warm water in first then the honey.
• Sprinkle the yeast on top, agitate the bowl slightly if you have to so the yeast gets immersed in the water. Wait 10-15 minutes or until foamy.
• Add the oil and salt.
• Blend in the flours and knead until elasticy, about 5 minutes or so.
• Cover with parchment paper or a dish towel and let rise for 20-30 minutes.
• Spray a cookie sheet, pizza stone, or round baking dish with cooking spray and put some dough in and you're set!
• I get about 3-4 little pizzas out of this amount of dough; it's thicker than my other pizza dough recipe.

EASY PIZZA DOUGH WITH INSTANT YEAST

Steps:

• Combine 1 1/2 cup (187.5 g) of flour, instant yeast, sugar, and salt in a large bowl.
• Add olive oil and warm water and use a wooden spoon to stir well very well.
• Add any additional flour as needed, stirring until the dough is forming into a cohesive, elastic ball and is beginning to pull away from the sides of the bowl. The dough will still be slightly sticky but still should be manageable with your hands.
• Drizzle a separate, large, clean bowl generously with olive oil and use a pastry brush to brush up the sides of the bowl.
• Lightly dust your hands with flour and form your pizza dough into a round ball and transfer to your olive oil-brushed bowl.
• Allow dough to rise for 30 minutes or until doubled in size. If you intend to bake this dough into a pizza, I also recommend preheating your oven to 425F (215C) at this point so that it will have reached temperature once your pizza is ready to bake.
• Once the dough has risen, use your hands to gently deflate it and transfer to a lightly floured surface and knead briefly until smooth (about 3-5 times). Use either your hands or a rolling pin to work the dough into 12" circle.
• Use a fork to poke holes all over the center of the pizza to keep the dough from bubbling up in the oven.
• Add desired toppings and bake in a 425F (215C) preheated oven for 13-15 minutes or until toppings are golden brown. Slice and serve.
