The Best Fluffy Pizza Dough

This fluffy pizza dough recipe provides a soft and tasty base for any pizza, perfect for customizing with your favorite toppings.

  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 2 large pizzas 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons instant yeast
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 1 ½ cups warm water (about 110°F or 43°C)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

Instructions

  1. Mix together the flour, instant yeast, salt, and sugar in a large bowl.
  2. Pour in the warm water and olive oil. Stir until everything comes together into a dough.
  3. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5-7 minutes, until it is smooth and elastic.
  4. Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl. Cover it with a clean kitchen towel and let it rise in a warm place for about 60 minutes, or until it has doubled in size.
  5. After the dough has risen, punch it down to release the air. Divide it into 2 equal pieces for large pizzas or leave it whole for one big pizza.
  6. Roll out the dough on a floured surface to your desired thickness.
  7. Add your favorite toppings and bake in a preheated oven at 475°F (245°C) for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown.

Notes

For a chewier crust, experiment with different types of flour, such as bread flour.
