A delicious homemade pizza dough recipe passed down from my dad. This easy-to-follow recipe ensures a perfect crust for your pizza night! The dough rises beautifully and can be rolled out to your desired thickness.
1: Add the warm water, sugar (or honey), and yeast to a measuring cup. Let sit until foamy, then add the remaining water.
2: Add the salt to the flour and stir.
3: In a large bowl, add a swirl of olive oil to coat the bowl. Add the water and flour, mix until incorporated. Start with a wooden spoon then use your hands. Adjust flour or water if needed a small amount at a time.
4: Once the dough begins to come together, remove from the bowl onto a hard surface or cutting board and knead for about five minutes. If the dough seems tough and dry, cover the bowl and let it rest for 10-15 minutes. Continue to knead until the dough forms into a smooth ball.
5: After kneading, shape the dough into a ball, add to an oiled bowl and cover with a towel. Place it on a cutting board away from drafts or sunlight to rise until doubled in size, about 3-4 hours. Once risen, cut in half, shape into a ball, and roll out to about 3/16ths of an inch.
