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.

To make perfect pizza dough, simply…

  • First, preheat the oven to 550°F. If you’re using a pizza stone make sure to put it in while oven is warming up. Rachel has a pizza stone, but I don’t, so I heat up a dark cookie sheet in the oven instead, and it still works like a charm!
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer, add warm water, yeast and sugar in a mixing bowl and allow it to sit for 5 minutes, until the yeast is foamy and smells well… yeasty!
  • To the yeast mixture, add salt, flour, and spices. Mix with a dough hook and knead until combined and dough starts to pull away from edges. About 3 minutes. If you don’t have a stand mixer, this can be done by hand.
  • Once kneaded divide dough into two or three equal parts depending on how thick you like your crust.
  • Next, lightly flour a cutting board and using a rolling pin, roll out dough into a 12″ – 16″ circle.
  • Brush the edges with olive oil and build your pizza with your favorite sauce, cheese and toppings! We love classic pepperoni, or we like to do freshly sliced mozzarella with prosciutto and figs. Mmmmm, simple or fancy, you really can’t go wrong, am I right???
  • Slide your pizza onto the pizza stone or baking sheet and bake on center rack for 7-8 minutes or until crust is browned and cooked through in the center.
    
  • Once fully cooked, remove pizza and let cool for two minutes before slicing. ENJOY!!!
Freezer friendly pizza dough with no rise time! Makes a perfect pizza every time!

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!

    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

    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!

      Hi Aimee, yes, cook the pizza at 550°F. You can use a pre-heated stone or just bake on a baking sheet. Enjoy!

      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!

      Hi Chelsie! Thank you for this question! We tried it out and yes you can! Preheat your oven to 450°F. Put your skillet in the oven while it heats, or heat it on the stovetop. Melt 1 Tbsp butter in the skillet. Roll out dough to approximate size and shape into the pan. Top with sauce and cheese and toppings. Bake for 12 minutes. Go light on the sauce, otherwise the top of the dough will absorb too much and get a bit mushy. Let us know how you like it!

    Hello! I am wanting to prep the dough the night before we eat it. Do you recommend it? Does it still turn out?

      January 28, 2020 at 9:28 am

      You absolutely can make it the night before! Divide the dough and put into individual ziplocks and refrigerate overnight.Then take out of the refrigerator and roll out when ready to use. You can also freeze and dough and then thaw when needed. This is how we make it and it turns out perfect every time!

      January 27, 2020 at 7:57 pm

      Hi Lonnee, this can be tricky! I like to use the backside of a large baking sheet. Pull out your oven rack as far out as it goes to avoid burning your hands and then slide it on. To help it slide easily, sprinkle the baking sheet with cornmeal. It also helps if you have a large pizza spatula!

    I have a couple kids trying this out, can we just make small individual pies and put them on baking sheets with this recipe? split the dough maybe into 3?

    Reply

      February 6, 2020 at 3:35 pm

      Hi Carole! Yes! We make this often with our kids. I often just use a cookie sheet to bake these, although I do like to heat the baking sheet before placing the pizza on it, but it will work even without pre-heating. Just add a few minutes of bake time to be sure it cooks all the way to the center. Enjoy!

    Is there a reason we have to add sugar to the recipe? I’m wondering if I can do a sugar substitute or just leave it out all together.

    Reply
    • Amy

      May 26, 2020 at 9:09 am

      Leaving out the sugar is no problem. It helps activate the yeast and helps brown the crust, so you may need to give your yeast a little extra time, and keep an eye on the bottom of the crust to make sure it’s cooked all the way through.

      Hi Tania! For this recipe, we used plain all-purpose flour, but either would result in a great pizza dough!

    This is a family favorite! Thank you so much!. I read that you can used the dough for cinnamon rolls, how long do you bake the rolls for?

    Thanks so much for sharing this- easy and delicious! And I am always amazed that I actually can make three large sized pizza’s with what appears to be a small amount of dough
