Pizza Dough
This Pizza Dough comes together in one bowl with six pantry staples for a soft, slightly tacky dough that bakes up golden with a tender chew. It’s perfect for weeknights when you want fresh, homemade crust ready for your favorite toppings, and it rises beautifully for a light, airy bite.

In the bowl of a stand mixer, stir together 2 cups of bread flour and the salt. Add the yeast mixture and 2 tablespoons of olive oil; beat with the dough hook on medium speed until the dough is soft and slightly tacky, about 8 minutes, adding up to 3 tablespoons more flour, 1 tablespoon at a time, mixing after each addition.
