How to Make Kitchenaid Crusty Pizza Dough
- In a warm bowl, dissolve 2 1/4 teaspoons of active dry yeast in 1 cup of warm (105-115°F) water. Let stand for 5 minutes until foamy.
- Add 1 1/2 teaspoons of salt, 2 tablespoons of olive oil, and 2 1/2 cups of all-purpose flour to the yeast mixture.
- Attach the bowl to your KitchenAid mixer fitted with the dough hook. Mix on speed 2 for 1 minute.
- With the mixer on speed 2, gradually add the remaining 1/2 cup of flour, 1/4 cup at a time, until the dough forms a ball and pulls away from the sides of the bowl.
- Knead the dough on speed 2 for another 2 minutes.
- Lightly grease a large bowl. Place the dough in the bowl, turning to coat with oil. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place for 1-1.5 hours, or until doubled in size.
- Gently punch down the dough to release the air.
- Brush a 14-inch pizza pan with 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
- Carefully transfer the dough to the prepared pizza pan. Press the dough evenly into the pan, forming a slightly raised edge.
- Add your favorite pizza toppings and bake at 450°F (232°C) for 15-20 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
