An easy Pizza and Flatbread Dough recipe.

Provided by Michael Lomonaco

Categories     Bread

Yield Makes enough for two or three 12-inch pizza crusts, depending on thickness

Number Of Ingredients 4

3 cups unbleached flour, plus more for dusting a work surface
Fine sea salt
1 envelope (1/4 ounce) active dry yeast
3 tablespoons olive oil

Steps:

  • 1. Process the flour and 2 teaspoons salt in the bowl of a standing mixer fitted with the dough hook until thoroughly incorporated, 1 minute.
  • 2. Put the yeast in another bowl. Whisk in 1/4 cup warm water, then 2 tablespoons of the oil. Let rest until the liquid begins to foam, about 10 minutes, then pour this mixture into the center of the flour. Mix the flour and yeast solution until incorporated. Add 3/4 cup warm water to the flour and mix again until the dough pulls together in a single, unified mass.
  • 3. Turn the mass out onto a lightly floured surface and begin to knead the dough by working it with the heel of your hand. Push outward and pull the inside edge over the top. Repeat the process over and over to create a smooth ball of dough free of stickiness. This should take 6 to 8 minutes.
  • 4. Brush a clean, stainless-steel bowl with the remaining tablespoon oil and put the ball of dough in the bowl. Cover with a clean cloth and let rise at room temperature until it has doubled in size, 1 1/2 to 2 hours.
  • 5. When the dough has risen, divide it in half, or thirds for thinner pizzas, and shape the pieces into balls that will later be patted into the traditional pizza shape. The balls of dough can be individually wrapped in plastic and frozen for up to 2 months.

This dough recipe is a bit time-consuming, but it's worth the effort. The dough is so flavorful and delicious, and it makes the best pizza crust I've ever had.

I was really excited to try this recipe, but the results were disappointing. The dough was too sticky and difficult to work with, and the final product was tough and chewy.

This dough recipe is a keeper! The pizza crust turned out crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside, just the way I like it. I also tried making flatbread with the same dough, and it was delicious as well.
