Fast & Easy Homemade Pizza Dough Recipe

Homemade pizza dough doesn’t have to be complicated.. or time consuming! In years past when I didn’t have time to make my favorite pizza dough, I would rely on Greek pita bread or store-bought pizza dough. Those options are ok for a quick and easy dinner, but aren’t nearly as satisfying.

Then came this pizza dough recipe. I was skeptical. A food processor? No kneading or rising? And in a mere 5 minutes?? It sounded too good to be true. Sure, it looked fast and easy. But was it any good? I was so thrilled to discover that not only was it indeed fast and easy.. it was GOOD. Not just ‘this-is-good-for-a-5-minute-pizza-crust’ good, but the kind of good that gets you all excited and eager to tell all of your friends about it. Are you ready?

Ingredients you’ll need for this Fast & Easy Pizza Dough:

• Very Warm Water– The temperature of the water is important for activating the yeast.
• Olive Oil– We like the flavor of olive oil in our pizza dough, but you can use any neutral flavored oil.
• Yeast– We used active dry yeast, but you can use instant yeast also.
• Sugar– The sugar helps to feed the yeast. You can also use honey.
• Flour– We used bread flour, you can also use all-purpose or whole wheat flour.
• Parmesan Cheese– Freshly grated Parmesan is yummy here, but pre-grated works also.
• Salt– Salt is very important to the overall flavor of your bread dough.

How to Make Super Fast & Easy Pizza Dough:

1. Activate yeast. Add the water, sugar, oil, and yeast to a small bowl or liquid measuring cup. Whisk to combine. Set aside and allow the mixture to get foamy.
2. Combine the dry ingredients. Add the flour, Parmesan cheese, and salt to the bowl of a food processor. Pulse to combine.
3. Add the liquid and create your dough. With the food processor running, slowly pour in the yeast mixture. Continue processing until the mixture comes together and form a shaggy ball. This can take about a minute.
4. Roll out the dough. Dump out the dough onto a lightly floured surface. Knead a few times to allow the dough to come together into a ball. Cut the dough in half. Quickly roll out the dough, creating a circle that is roughly 11 inches in diameter. Carefully place the dough onto a parchment lined baking sheet or pizza pan.
5. Use immediately! This dough really is best when used right away! You can refrigerate the dough and use within 3-5 days by wrapping tightly in plastic wrap if needed.
