🧾 Ingredients

  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/3 cup olive oil (or avocado oil)
  • 1 Tbsp honey
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 packet active dry yeast (2 1/4 tsp)
  • 2 cups warm water

🍞 How to Make Homemade Pizza Dough

  1. In a stand mixer, combine flour, oil, honey, salt, and yeast.
  2. Turn mixer to low and slowly add warm water.
  3. Mix until combined. If dough is too sticky, add up to 1/2 cup flour gradually.
  4. Knead for about 8 minutes until smooth.

👉 Pro Tip: Using a KitchenAid Artisan Series Stand Mixer makes this process effortless and gives you perfect dough every time.

⏳ Let the Dough Rise

  • Place dough in a greased bowl
  • Cover and let rise for 1–2 hours, until doubled in size

🔥 Pre-Bake the Crust

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F
  2. Shape dough into pizzas (this recipe makes about 6 personal-sized pizzas)
  3. Place on a baking sheet or pizza pan
  4. Use a fork to poke holes (prevents bubbling)

Bake:

  • Thick crust: 10–12 minutes
  • Thin crust: 8–10 minutes
