Homemade pizza dough that's only 6 ingredients (one being our Pecan Oil!) and easy enough that a toddler can help? Count us in!
🍕 HOMEMADE PIZZA DOUGH
Makes 2 medium pizzas
INGREDIENTS
• 3¾ cups all-purpose flour
• 1½ teaspoons salt
• 1 teaspoon sugar (optional, but helps with browning)
• 1 packet (2¼ teaspoons) instant yeast
• 1⅓ cups warm water (about 110°F)
• 2 tablespoons pecan oil
INSTRUCTIONS
1. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, sugar, and yeast.
2. Add the warm water and pecan oil and stir until a shaggy dough forms.
3. Knead the dough for 8–10 minutes by hand (or about 5 minutes with a stand mixer) until smooth and elastic.
4. Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover, and let it rise in a warm spot for 1–2 hours, or until doubled in size.
5. Divide the dough into two equal balls and let them rest for 20–30 minutes before stretching.
About 30 minutes before baking, place your pizza stone in the oven and preheat to 500°F.
6. Stretch the dough into your desired shape, add your sauce, cheese, and toppings, and lightly brush the outer crust with pecan oil if desired.
7. Bake for 5–7 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.
A pizza stone gives the best crispy crust!
Save this for your next pizza night! 🍕
