Easy Pizza Dough
I have been using this pizza dough recipe for years! I’ve tried new dough recipes since, but I always come back to this one. It is so simple and always turns out great! Imagine my delight when I realized I could make homemade pizza on our propane stove top in the van! When I photographed this recipe, it was during the COVID-19 quarantine, so the grocery store was out of organic all-purpose flour. I tried making it with organic quinoa flour, instead. I didn’t realize quinoa flour is like a whole wheat flour. That’s why the crust has a darker color. I do NOT recommend using a non-white flour with this recipe! The quinoa flour made the dough difficult to work with, and the crust too crumbly. Plus, the flavor was blah at best. This recipe works best with white flour, and turns out ah-mazing every time with it!
Ingredients
- 1 cup Warm Water
- 1 tbsp Baking Powder (or yeast)
- 1 tbsp Olive Oil (or avocado oil)
- 1 tbsp Honey
- 1 tsp Salt
- 3 cup All-purpose white flour (set aside 1/2 cup for kneading)
Instructions
- Add the warm water to a mixing bowl. Next, add the baking soda, olive oil, and honey (in that exact order, if you want the ingredients to roll right off the measuring spoon well). Then, add the salt, and mix until well combined. Finally, add 2 ½ flour, and stir until it begins to form a ball of dough.
- I usually knead the dough for a few minutes by hand, adding flour until it stops sticking to my fingers. This is when you will start adding in the ½ cup of flour that you set aside. You may not need the full ½ cup. Just add flour and keep kneading until the dough doesn’t stick to your fingers any more.
- At this point, I usually split the dough in two, and save half of it for a second night of personal pizzas, since there are only two of us. ¼ of the dough will make one personal pan pizza.
- Now is the time to add your sauce, cheese, and toppings. Let cook until the cheese melts, and the crust firms up on the bottom. If you like a crispier crust, you may want to turn up the flame a bit on the stove to crisp it.The pizza should slide right out of the pan and onto your plate. Slice it up and enjoy!Adapted from Life in the Lofthouse
