How to Make Pizza Dough Optional Stuffed Crusts
- In a large bowl, combine warm water (105-115°F), yeast (2 1/4 tsp), and sugar (1 tsp). Let stand for 5-10 minutes until foamy.
- Add olive oil (2 tbsp), salt (1 1/2 tsp), and flour (3 cups, plus more as needed). Mix until a shaggy dough forms.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic. Add more flour if needed to prevent sticking.
- 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.
- Punch down the dough and divide it into four equal portions.
- For stuffed crust pizzas: Roll out each portion into a circle. Place a spoonful of your desired filling (e.g., ricotta cheese, mozzarella, herbs) along the edge, leaving a 1-inch border. Fold the border over the filling and pinch to seal.
- For regular crust pizzas: Roll out each portion into a circle.
- Transfer the dough to baking sheets lined with parchment paper.
- Top with your favorite pizza sauce, cheese, and toppings.
- Bake at 450°F (232°C) for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
