Fluffy Yet Crusty Pizza Dough Recipe
This Fluffy & Crusty Pizza Dough Recipe provides a fluffy interior and crusty exterior and that is what makes me come back to this pizza dough recipe. I can't remember a time this dough recipe didn't turn out when making pizza. It's super quick to prepare and bakes away to fluffiness!
Ingredients
- 3 cups of all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp salt
- 2 tsp sugar
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp garlic powder
- 1/4 cup parmesan cheese
- 1 1/2 tsp dry yeast
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 1/3 cup warm water
Instructions
- Add all the dry ingredients into the bread machine pan; add the oil and then pour the warm water over. Set cycle to dough settings and allow the bread machine to do its thing. (My cycle was 1 hour and 30 minutes.)
- DIRECTIONS FOR STAND MIXER: Dissolve the yeast in warm water and set aside. Place the dry ingredients into the bowl of the mixer; add the oil. Turn the mixer on low speed and slowly pour in the water/yeast mixture. Knead the dough for 10 minutes. Cover and allow the dough to rise for 1 hour or until doubled. Roll the dough out; top with toppings and allow another hour or so to rise before baking.
- Cut out two (16" wide) pieces of parchment paper. Place on a flat surface; dust with flour and set aside.
- Once the dough cycle has finished (or when the dough has finished rising after kneading) transfer dough onto a floured surface.
- Cut the dough into two equal pieces and flip over. Take the ends of each piece and pinch together to form a ball.
- Roll the dough out into an 11"-12" circle. Transfer onto parchment paper; top with desired toppings and allow prepared pizzas to rise for 45 min.
- Place two baking sheets upside down onto the bottom rack of the oven. Preheat the oven to 415 degrees F with the baking sheets inside. While the oven is preheating allow the dough to rise an additional 15 min (about the time the oven preheats.)
- Slide the parchment paper with the pizza on top onto a large tray or cutting board. Then carefully slide the parchment paper onto the hot baking sheets and bake one pizza at a time for 14-16 minutes.
- Remove the pizza by dragging the parchment paper onto a cutting board and slice.
