Why grab takeout when recteq makes it so easy? Whether you use the recteq Pizza Oven or a Pizza Stone, this recipe will set you up to DIY Pizza better than the pros! Trust us, it's a lot easier than you think.

Instructions

Step 1: Chef’s Note: While all our pizza recipes can be cooked to perfection on any recteq, for that authentic, wood-fired flavor and crispy crust, nothing beats results from the recteq Pizza Oven. It’s compatible with many of our grill models and brings pizzeria-quality results right to your backyard.
Step 2: In a large mixing bowl combine the flour, sugar, salt, and yeast.
Step 3: 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 4: Transfer the dough to the lightly floured recteq Dough & Pastry Mat 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 5: Give the dough a 90 degree turn and repeat the process.
Step 6: 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 7: 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 8: 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.
