If you’ve ever wanted to make your own pizza, this is your chance. My Pizza Crust recipe is a dream, and you can use it to make your favorite pizza of your dreams!

Ingredients //
- 3 cups of flour
- 2 Tablespoons olive oil
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 1 1/2 teaspoons active dry yeast
- 1 cup lukewarm water

Instructions //
Step 1:
Add the warm water and the yeast to the bowl. Stir gently and let the yeast mixture stand for about 5 minutes.

Step 2:
After 5 minutes, the yeast mixture will look like this.

Step 3:
Add the olive oil.

Step 4:
Add the salt and the flour.

Step 5:
Let the mixer knead slowly until the dough comes together.

Step 6:
When the dough comes together it will look like this. I usually let the machine go for about 5 minutes.

Step 7:
Take it out of the machine.

Step 8:
Cover the bowl with a towel in a warm place and let it rise until doubled. About an hour or so.

Step 9:
How beautiful is this dough? This is what it looks like when doubled in size. Turn it out and knead it into the shape of a ball.

Step 10:
Cover the dough with the same towel or plastic wrap and let it sit for 20-30 minutes. After that, you can roll it out and get it ready to top and bake. See, super easy.

Tips & Tricks //
- I also make a few batches of this dough and freeze it. I take it out in the morning when I want to make it for dinner and let it thaw on the counter or put it in the fridge the night before. Make sure that it comes to room temperature before you roll it out.
A Super Easy Way to Make Pizza Dough //
Making pizza dough is easy and fun. Once you start making your own, you will never buy a Bobli again. Not that there is anything wrong with a Bobli of course.
You could easily make this pizza dough by hand, but I like to do in the Kitchen-Aid. I can let it go and knead the dough while I do other things.
You can also play with the flour and take out some of the white flour and replace it with whole wheat. You can also add some herbs for variation.

Hi Bree! I made your pizza dough recipe and my family LOVED it! The girls at my daughters sleepover said it was the "best!" Not sure why I was so intimated with pizza dough but I'm not now! I shared your blog with our YouTube subscribers on our Debt Kickin' Dinners vlog! Come say hi and let us know what you think!

Hey, I have tried this recipie several times and it is perfect!
One thing which I have been experimenting alot with was the type of flour. I have been using whole wheat flower and white flower (1.5 cups each) and it tastes amazing and is very filling. And feels healthy too.
Thanks for the amazing recipie ;) it's the only one I ever use :)
