Artisan Pizza Dough
Artisan Pizza Dough bakes up with a thin, crackly crust and a soft, airy interior that stands up beautifully to toppings. Opt for an overnight chill to develop deeper, nuanced flavor or use a same-day sponge for a clean, wheaty taste and quick turnaround—ideal for weeknights or casual gatherings.

OVERNIGHT COLD RISE METHOD: In a large bowl, dissolve the yeast in the water. Stir in 2 cups of flour and the salt; mix thoroughly. Add the remaining flour, 1/2 cup at a time, beating well after each addition. Once the dough comes together, turn it out onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth and supple, about 15 minutes. Place the dough in a bowl dusted with flour, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate overnight.

Deflate the dough and turn it out onto a lightly floured surface. Divide the dough into two equal portions. Roll each portion to half of its final size. Let rest for 10 to 15 minutes (while you prepare the desired pizza toppings). Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).

Stretch the dough over your floured knuckles and spin or toss 2 to 3 times until it reaches the desired size. Set the dough on a baker's peel sprinkled with cornmeal or on a lightly greased pizza pan. Add the desired toppings and bake on a pizza stone in the preheated oven for 8 to 10 minutes, or until golden brown. Let the baked pizza cool for 5 minutes before serving.

How easyChef Pro scores recipes and products
easyChef Pro analyzes up to 41 nutrients using data sourced from USDA and other verified food databases. Its scoring method uses the nutrients relevant to nutrition quality, calorie density, processing level, and your selected health goal. Recipes and food products get a health score from 0 to 100, calculated using consistent rules instead of being estimated by AI. The same nutrition data, serving size and health goal will produce the same result.
The calculation evaluates nutrients, calorie density, processing level, and how well the food supports your selected health goal. Protein, fiber, vitamins, minerals and other beneficial nutrients can strengthen the score. High amounts of sodium, saturated fat, added sugar and other nutrients may lower it.
Your health goal also matters. easyChef Pro evaluates recipes and products across six health areas and adjusts their importance for your selected goal. This means the same food may be a better fit for one health goal than another.
For recipes, changing an ingredient, quantity or serving size changes the nutrition and may change the score. Remix the recipe in easyChef Pro to calculate fresh nutrition and scores for the version you actually make. Product scores are based on the nutrition and serving information associated with that specific product.
