How to Make Almost Like Papa John's Pizza Dough
- In a large bowl, combine 1 cup of the flour, sugar, yeast, and salt.
- Whisk together the dry ingredients until well combined.
- Gradually add the warm water and olive oil to the dry ingredients, mixing with a wooden spoon or spatula.
- Mix until just moistened, then beat with an electric mixer on low speed for 1 minute, then on medium speed for 2 minutes.
- Gradually add the remaining 2 1/2 to 3 cups of flour, 1/2 cup at a time, mixing until the dough pulls away from the sides of the bowl.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 5-7 minutes, adding more flour as needed, until the dough is smooth and elastic.
- Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, turning to coat. Cover loosely with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place for 15 minutes.
- Punch down the dough and divide it in half (or into as many portions as you need for your pizza pans).
- Press or roll each portion of dough into a 12-inch circle to fit your pizza pans.
- Prick the dough all over with a fork to prevent air bubbles.
- Let the prepared pizza crusts rest for 10-15 minutes.
- Lightly brush the crusts with olive oil.
- Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C).
- Prebake the crusts for 5 minutes.
- Remove from oven, add your desired toppings.
- Bake for another 4-5 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
