Learning how to make pizza dough from scratch gives you the ability 
to turn an ordinary pizza into a memorable one. With this Baker's 
Pizza Dough Recipe, you will be able to master the art of pizza dough 
for all of your summer creations. Fortunately, learning how to make 
pizza dough is a "pizza" cake, and you will never go back to buying 
it from the store again. Set aside some time this summer to use this 
pizza crust recipe to enhance your pizza-making abilities tenfold. Be 
sure to make a batch and store some in the freezer for later use!

I often double or triple this recipe and keep the extra dough in the 
freezer. Place the yeast and sugar in an electric mixing bowl with a 
bread hook attachment. Pour 1/4 cup of warm water over the yeast and 
swirl. Allow the mixture to foam for 10 minutes.

Then add the remaining 1/2 cup of water, oil and salt. Turn the mixer 
on low and slowly add 2 cups of bread flour. Allow the mixer to run 
until the flour is well combined and the hook is kneading the dough. 
The dough should be very sticky, but still firm enough to pick up. 
Add a little more flour if needed. Let the mixer knead the dough for 
another 5 to 10 minutes.

Drizzle olive oil around the sides of the mixing bowl, lifting the 
dough for good coverage. Cover the mixing bowl and let the dough rise 
for 2 hours.

Once the dough has doubled in size dump it out on a floured work 
surface and cut it into 2 - 8 oz. pieces. Roll the ends under to 
create round balls.

Then using a well-floured rolling pin, roll the dough out to 12" 
circles. Place the dough circles on parchment paper. Lightly oil the 
tops and let them rest a few minutes before adding toppings.

If saving for later, wrap each dough ball in plastic and place in the freezer.

Question & Response: How do I make this without a stand mixer? Also, 
is there a whole wheat version?

Yes, you can knead the dough by hand. It will take a good 10 minutes 
of workâ?¦ Considered it your upper-body workout for the day.
If you want to make a whole wheat version you can use half 
all-purpose flour and half whole wheat flour.

Review: I use this recipe all the time now, and I love it! Simple and 
delicious.

Review: Great tips! I love homemade dough but often find myself 
buying it for ease. Stocking the freezer is a great way to avoid that.

Review: Thanks for the great go-to recipe for pizza night!
