How to Make Basic Pizza Dough Use Now Or Use Later Oamc Too

  1. In a large bowl, combine 1 cup warm water (105-115°F), 1 teaspoon sugar, and 2 teaspoons active dry yeast. Let stand for 5-10 minutes until foamy.
  2. Add 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 teaspoon salt, and 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (or 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour + 1 cup whole wheat flour for whole wheat version).
  3. Stir until a shaggy dough forms. Turn out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  4. Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, turning to coat. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place for 1-1.5 hours, or until doubled in size.
  5. Punch down the dough and divide it in half (or into desired portions). Shape into balls or desired pizza crust shapes.
  6. For immediate use: Preheat oven to 450°F (232°C). Place dough on a pizza stone or baking sheet and add your favorite toppings. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until crust is golden brown and cheese is melted and bubbly.
  7. For freezing: Wrap each dough ball tightly in plastic wrap, then place in a freezer-safe bag. Freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before using.
