Classic Pizza Dough Recipe

This is a really basic pizza dough recipe for day of use - taking about 1-2 hours to rise. The dough is fluffier and chewier thanks to the bread flour.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups + 2 tbsp bread flour (329g)
  • 1⅛ tsp instant yeast half standard packet
  • ¾ tsp salt
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • ¾ cup warm water ~110F
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1 tsp garlic powder

Instructions

  • In a food processor, pulse flour, yeast, oregano, garlic powder, and salt about 5 times to combine.
  • With the machine running, slowly pour in oil, then water. Process until a rough dough ball forms, about 30–40 seconds.
  • Let dough rest for 2 minutes, then process again for 30 seconds. Add more flour if too sticky.
  • Turn dough onto a floured surface and knead until smooth, about 1 minute.
  • Place in a greased bowl, cover with greased plastic wrap, and let rise until doubled in size, 1 to 1½ hours. (Refrigerate 8–16 hours for a slower rise.)
  • When ready to bake, preheat oven to 450°F (conventional bake).
  • Top with pizza sauce, low-moisture cheese, and your favorite toppings
