Invest in a pizza stone
There are a few kitchen “extras” that I feel are worth the money and space they take up. Since we typically make pizza once a week, I decided a pizza stone might be worth it. I purchased one just like this from Amazon, for such a great price! And now I can’t believe I waited so long! This one kitchen product was a big game-changer for our pizza nights. It creates the perfect slightly crisp crust and gives us a really even bake that I could never achieve using a cookie sheet. You should own one!
Pizza dough with no rise time? Yes, please!
I’ve made a lot of dough (bread dough, not money) in my life, but this is my favorite, most versatile recipe. It’s simple, flavorful, and my favorite part is I don’t have to wait for any rising. That means I can whip up pizza with homemade dough in just a matter of minutes. There’s no tricky rising, punching, covering and waiting for more rising, guessing when the dough is ready, etc. It’s seriously the best.
Start a Family Pizza and Movie Night!
If you don’t already have a weekly family pizza and movie night, give it a try! Here’s why we love it. First, it get’s your family out of your TV/movie rut. If you’re like us, our kids want to watch the same movies over and over and over again. We like to try new movies from the library, so it’s FREE! Second, it’s an activity we can do together as a family and everyone enjoys it. No matter your age, watching a fun new movie is always a treat! Lastly, making pizza is a family event and it creates a night where I don’t have to plan dinner. We like to mix it up with toppings, but the basics stay the same, so it requires almost no thought on my part. Yay for me!

Notes
Made this tonight and it was heavenly!!! Thanks for sharing such an easy and tasty recipe! I made 1 giant pizza on a cookie sheet and baked it for 20 mins. After brushing the edges with olive oil, I sprinkled on some everything bagel seasoning. Yum all around! Thanks for posting!
Hi Tamara! What a great idea to use bagel seasoning! I’m going to give that a try next time!
Tried this when I was in a pinch to make pizza dough. I was susprized how good it was! The dough was a tad sweet for my liking tho so I’ll probably do half the sugar next time. But great recipe
So glad you like this recipe! We’re in love with how quick this dough comes together and tastes better than any recipe I’ve ever tried!
Just wanted you to know that we love this recipe!! I whip it up about twice a week. My family thinks I’m a cooking genius for how amazing these pizzas turn out. I usually make 2 batches, divide into thirds and everyone gets to make their own pizzas with enough left over for a cheese stick pizza. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you so much for your comment!! We make it all the time too. It works well for pizza roll-ups and even no rise cinnamon rolls!
I assume since you dont specify guick rise yeast that you mean regular yeast?
Hi Faith,
Thank you for your question! Yes, it is rapid or instant rise yeast. I’ve updated the recipe to clarify this! I hope you enjoy!
Do I cook the pizza at 550 also? Or just to what the stone? Thank you in advance!
Hi Aimee, yes, cook the pizza at 550°F. You can use a pre-heated stone or just bake on a baking sheet. Enjoy!
Super easy and quick! Loved it! Thank you for sharing!
I will he making this all the time now ❤️👌🏼
What temp do you recommend when not using a pizza stone? And how long to cook?
Use the same temperature of 550°F and you’re still going to cook for 7-8 minutes. I’ve made it this way many times using a dark baking sheet and it’s perfect! I hope you enjoy it!
