Foolproof & Easy Homemade Pizza Dough

Stacey Mincoff
This is a pizza dough you can be proud of. It has the right ratio of crisp on the outside to soft on the inside. Tastes like authentic dough from Italy.

Equipment

  • Stand mixer with dough hook
  • Pizza stone
  • Pizza Peel

Ingredients
 
 

  • 3/4 Cup Warm Water about 110°F - 118°F
  • 1 Teaspoon Honey
  • 1 Teaspoon Dry Active Yeast
  • 4 Tablespoons Olive Oil
  • 1 Teaspoon Salt
  • 1 1/2 Cups All Purpose Flour
  • 1/2 Cup Bread Flour

Instructions
 

  • If baking right away, start preheating your oven to 500°F with pizza stone in oven. Either way, you'll want the pizza stone at full temp, so it needs to be in there for about 30-45 minutes after the oven has come up to temp.
  • Place warm water (110°F - 118°F), honey and yeast to a bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook. Let this rest for 5-10 minutes or until it starts to get foamy.

  • Mix all other ingredients and knead on low to med low until well blended and when dough pulls away from the bowl (3-5 minutes).

  • Cover with kitchen towel and let rest in a warm place for 20-40 minutes.
  • After dough has rested and risen, flour a surface, divide dough in half and roll out to about 10 inches at about 1/8” or so thick.

  • Add your toppings and gently slide that pizza onto heated pizza stone. I recommend most meats to be precooked since this will only take about five minutes in the oven.
