Why grab takeout when recteq makes it so easy? Our culinary team has an easy pizza dough recipe so that you can DIY Pizza better than the pros! Trust us, it's a lot easier than you think.
Instructions
- Step 1: In a large mixing bowl combine the flour, sugar, salt, and yeast.
- Step 2: Add the warm water and olive oil to the flour mixture and mix with your hands until a dough ball forms about 2-3 minutes.
- Step 3: Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and continue to knead the dough for 8-10 minutes by pulling the dough over itself and using the heel of our hand to press the dough back together.
- Step 4: Give the dough a 90 degree turn and repeat the process.
- Step 5: Add the dough to lightly oiled bowl and cover with a towel and allow the dough to rise by double about 45-60 minutes.
- Step 6: Portion the dough into 6-8 balls for smaller personal size pizzas or 2 larger 18-20 inch pizzas. Allow them to rise again covered for 10-15 minutes before stretching for your favorite pizza.
- Step 7: Chef Tip- You can use a stand mixer for steps 2-5 instead of mixing by hand. Whatever the serving size is set to, is how many pizzas the dough will make.
