Quick Pizza Dough
So after making the Chicago-style garlic and butter pizza crust, I decided I wanted to get a few more yummy pizza recipes to add to my collection. I found a recipe for quick pizza dough at Baking Like Betty. It was a pizza dough that you mix up and use right then, no waiting or rising. So I gave it a try over the weekend.
This quick pizza dough was simple to make and the whole family loved it. It includes all the ingredients you would expect. It uses yeast, water, sugar, salt, oil, and flour. You can mix it by hand with a wooden spoon. However, I like to let my kitchen aid do all the work. Then once you have the dough made, allow it to rest for 5 minutes before using it. This allows the gluten to relax making it easier to shape the dough for your pizza.
Tomorrow I’ll share a recipe for a white pizza sauce that I tried this weekend too. Thanks Lisa for this quick pizza crust recipe! We topped this crust with my homemade pizza sauce and then went for good old pepperoni and cheese.

Quick Pizza Dough
Real Mom Kitchen
Ingredients
- 1 pkg yeast
- 1 cup warm water
- 1 tsp sugar
- 1 tsp salt
- 2 Tbsp oil
- 2 ½ cup flour
- 2 Tbsp cornmeal optional for sprinkling on cookie sheet
Instructions
- Dissolve yeast in warm water and add sugar. Let yeast sit about 10 minutes (you want it good and foamy). Stir in remaining ingredients until blended. Beat vigorously 20 strokes. (I did this all in my kitchen aid)
- Allow dough to rest 5 minutes in a bowl with saran wrap or a towel over it. Preheat oven to 425, spread dough onto a lightly greased baking sheet sprinkled with corn meal (optional). Top with desired toppings and bake for 20 minutes (I used a pizza stone and mine was ready in 15 minutes). This makes 1 (14 inch) pizza.
Love this recipe! I subbed half of the AP Flour for Whole Wheat Flour, and it was awesome! Everyone loved it :).
I found your recipe through a Pinterest search. This was by far the quickest pizza dough I’ve ever made, and no flavor was sacrificed! Thanks for a terrific recipe. I’ll be making this pizza dough again.
Thanks for another great recipe Laura! Made individual pizzas for family night and the kids had a great time rolling their crusts out and putting the toppings on. Not only was it fun but they tasted great too!
I stumbled across your recipe a few weeks ago. We have been doing a pizza night every week, with the money crunch I'm making it instead of ordering. I have a family of 6 so I double the recipe. I love your recipe, very simple for the non-bread maker! Perfect thick crust! Thank you so much for posting this!
I'm glad it worked out for you!! We love that crust! I love your blog :o)
I have been looking for a homemade pizza recipe to try. I’m going to give this one a go this weekend. It looks like your pizza was quite thick once baked…was it? I was hoping to find a thicker pizza dough recipe.
We loved this pizza. I think that your sauce made it so good. I have been following your blog for a while and love your recipes. You are doing a great job! Thank you for inspiring me to try new things. Joddy
okay, im definately hungry now!
Pizza is always a hit! Looks wonderful!
you are officially my new hero! A delicious pizza dough that doesn’t take hours to make! Granted I don’t have kids (yet) but, with working 40 hours while going to school part-time, I just don’t have the time to make a two hour pizza dough. Thanks for sharing this recipe! : ) looks delicious!
It looks really good! It looks really thick and bready, did you roll it out really thin?
