  • 2

Ingredients

  • 3 1/2 - 4 cups flour
  • 1 tsp. sugar
  • 2 1/4 tsp. instant dry yeast (or one packet)
  • 2 tsp. salt
  • 1 1/2 cups luke-warm water
  • 2 Tbsp. olive oil (other oil will work as well)
  • additional flour for rolling out the dough

Preparation

Step 1

*Makes 2 (14-inch) pizzas

(Note: This is the best pizza crust recipe I've come across. I've used all-purpose flour only, or half whole wheat, half all-purpose, or whole wheat only. You can add a little garlic powder, or basil, or oregano to the crust while mixing it together too. This recipe is very customizable.)

*additional flour for rolling out the dough

DIRECTIONS

Combine the dry ingredients, starting with 3 1/2 cups of flour in a large bowl or standing mixer. Add the water and oil, and mix until the dough forms into a ball. Add additional flour as needed until the dough just starts to no longer stick to the sides of the bowl. Knead until it forms a firm ball.

Pre-heat the oven to 425 degrees. On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough out to desired thickness (between 1/2 and 1/4 inch thick). Let rest 10 minutes. Top as desired and bake for 12-18 minutes (depending on thickness).
