We’ve started doing homemade pizza night at our house every Friday since we discovered this 15 Minute Pizza Dough recipe and it’s turned into something we look forward to every week! This recipe makes enough dough for 8 personal pizzas about 8 inches in size. Perfect for a date night in, dinner with friends, or just a fun weeknight meal as the weather warms up, you’re going to want to try this pizza dough! With only six simple ingredients, this pizza dough is easy and delicious. Start with some warm water, active dry yeast, and sugar and simple allow to activate for 10-15 minutes before adding flour, olive and salt. Once mixed, you’re ready to shape and make – no additional rise time necessary! We know this probably isn’t the most authentic pizza dough ever made, we don’t claim to be pizza dough experts by any means, BUT this is an awesome option for our family these days and we hope you enjoy it as much as we do!
15 Minute Pizza Dough Recipe
Ingredients
- 2 cups warm water
- 2 packets active dry yeast (4.5 tsp or 1.5 tbsp)
- 2 tsp white sugar
- 5 cups flour
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 2 tsp salt
Instructions
- Place warm water in a bowl; add yeast and sugar. Mix and let stand for 10-15 minutes.
- Add flour, oil, and salt to the yeast mixture; beat until smooth. You can do this by hand or use a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook to make it easier.
- Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface and cut into roughly 8 pieces. Shape your dough into circles or hearts before adding your sauce and favorite toppings! Any unused dough can be stored in ziplock bags in the freezer for future pizza nights!
- We used our pizza oven from Gozney to cook the pizzas but you can also pop them into an oven at 450 degrees for 15-20 minutes until golden brown. Enjoy!
