Quick Artisan Pizza Dough Recipe: Ready in Just Two Hours

Artisan Pizza Dough

Ingredients for 1 pizza:

250 g bread flour

150-160 ml warm water

4 g instant yeast / 12 g active dry / 12 g fresh baker's yeast

1 tsp sugar

1 tsp himalayan salt

Drizzle some Olive Oil* (try my favorite Mediterranean cold-pressed extra virgin olive oil)

Ingredients for 2 pizzas:

500 g bread flour

300-320 ml warm water

7 g instant yeast / 10.5 g active dry / 21 g fresh baker's yeast

2 tsp sugar

2 tsp himalayan salt

Drizzle some Olive Oil* (try my favorite Mediterranean cold-pressed extra virgin olive oil)

Execution Steps:

1. Activate the yeast by combining the yeast, water, and sugar. Cover and let activate for 10 min.

2. Add the salt and olive oil to the flour.

3. Combine the yeast mixture with all the flour in your bowl. Mix and knead until fully incorporated.

   Aim for a medium-hydrated dough that feels soft to the touch and is just barely sticky.

4. Let dough rest for 1 hour in a warm area.

5. Once the dough has risen for the first time, knead or reshape it into a ball and allow it to rest for another 20-30 minutes.

6. Transfer the dough to a floured surface -

   If preparing one pizza, spread out the dough using a rolling pin in whatever form you want. This is the most creative step in my POV

   If preparing two pizzas, divide your dough into two equal sections, then knead each portion into a ball. Allow them to rest for at least 10-15 minutes before rolling them out with a rolling pin.

7. Bake for 15 minutes at 240-250°C or 475°F.

   
   

   Pre-bake tip (not a must): sprinkle some semolina flour on the baking sheet and oil your pizza edges if they are apparent.

   
   

   Toppings: Get creative! My specialty pork/beef ground mix with mozarella&swiss, parsley, oregano, basil. Another favorite one is: ham & turkey, mozarella, parmesan, mushrooms. Another favorite one is pepperoni, jalapenos, and bacon. Oregano is always a must so are several types of cheese😊

   
   

   For the sauce: Get creative! You could use ketchup, or store-bought pizza sauce or make it at home by throwing some tomatoes, garlic and basil in the oven and grinding it all up once its ready
