Servings 6 servings
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for kneading dough
- 2 1/4 teaspoons baking powder
- 2 teaspoons sugar
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 3/4 cup water
- 2 Tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar and salt.
- Add the water and olive oil, and using a spatula, stir together the ingredients until combined.
- Lightly flour your work surface then turn out the dough and knead it for 1 minute until it comes together into a smooth ball. (Do not over-knead the dough.)
- Place a damp towel over the dough and let it rest for 15 minutes.
- When ready to bake, preheat the oven to 400°F.
- Lightly flour your work surface then roll the dough into a 12-inch circle that’s roughly 1/4-inch thick.
- Transfer the dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper then top it with your preferred sauce, cheese and toppings.
- Bake the pizza until the crust is golden brown and reached your desired level of crispiness, 15 to 20 minutes.
- Remove the pizza from the oven then slice and serve.
Notes
- Fresh dough is best. I wouldn’t recommend making this non-yeasted dough ahead of time. The leavening agent starts working immediately, so refrigerating or freezing it might cause it to lose its fluffiness.
- Feel free to mix in a tablespoon of Italian seasoning for an extra burst of flavor in your crust!
- Want a bit of whole-grain goodness? Substitute up to 1/2 of the all-purpose flour with whole wheat flour. Just keep in mind that it might slightly change the texture.
- This recipe makes about a 12-inch pizza, but if you prefer smaller pizzas, you can easily divide the dough to make two 6-inch pizzas.
- No olive oil? No problem! You can use any vegetable oil or even melted butter as a substitute.
