Notes

  • Adjust Thickness: For a thin and crispy base, roll the dough out thinly. For a thicker, more bready crust, leave it a bit thicker.
  • Prevent Sticking: Generously flour your work surface and hands when rolling out the dough. You can also roll it out directly on baking paper to easily transfer it to the pan.
  • Crispy Crust Tip: For an extra crispy base, pre-bake the crust for 5-7 minutes before adding toppings. This helps prevent a soggy bottom, especially with wetter toppings.
  • Serving Suggestions: This versatile pizza dough is perfect for classic pizzas, but also great for mini pizzas, calzones, or even cheesy breadsticks!
  • Storage: This dough is best used immediately. If you have any leftover, store it wrapped tightly in plastic wrap in the fridge for up to 1 day. Bring to room temperature before using
