Ingredient List for The Pizza Crust

1 1/4 cups (9.7 ounces) warm water
2 3/4 teaspoons dry active yeast
2 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon honey
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 teaspoons salt
1 1/2 cups (8 ounces) bread flour (or all-purpose flour)
1 1/2 cups (8 ounces) whole wheat flour (optional, can use 100% bread flour or all-purpose flour)

Step-by-Step Instruction For Pizza Crust

Prepare yourself for a long dough preparation process. It’ll take a while! But don’t worry, the hard work will be worth it.

Step 1: Knead the Dough

Warm up the water up to approximately 120° F. In a mixing bowl, add the water and yeast and let it prove for 5 minutes.

Combine the sugar, honey, and oil in the bowl. After that, add 1 cup flour and 2 teaspoons of salt to the previous mixture.

Mix in all of the remaining flour until you have a lovely, soft dough. Now you need to knead your dough until it becomes smooth.. It will take approximately 10 minutes to knead it.

Step 2: Storing the Dough

Once you’re done kneading the dough, shape it into a ball on a floured work surface. Refrigerate the dough balls for 24 hours in an airtight jar coated with olive oil.

It’s preferable to make the dough 24 hours before baking the pizza. That’s how you’ll get the greatest flavor of the perfect crust.

Prepare the dough first thing in the morning if you’re short on time. Keep the dough refrigerated until supper time.

Step 3: Prepare the Dough

3 hours before baking, take out the dough from the fridge. Then split in half for two 12-inch pizzas or leave whole for a thicker 16-inch pizza.

Create balls out of each piece of dough. Give enough time for the dough to return to room temperature. This procedure usually takes three hours.

Step 4: Preheat Your Oven

Preheat your oven to 475° Fahrenheit, 45 minutes before baking. Make sure your pizza stone is placed on the lowest rack. This will enable the stone to heat up.

This process might take 40-50 minutes. So you can do it while preparing your pizza for baking.

Step 5: Prepare to Bake Your Crust

15 minutes before baking, shape the dough into the desired pizza crust. Then dust with cornmeal, flour, or rice flour on a pizza peel. A wooden cutting board or an upside-down baking sheet can also be used.

On top of the board, place your dough. Place your toppings on top of the dough now. Bake for 9-11 minutes after gently placing the pizza on the hot pizza stone.

The key to preparing homemade pizza is selecting the right dough. Preferably choose the one that has oil to assist the dough transfer heat and evaporate more water during baking. Another key factor is to ensure that the dough is thin enough to bake quickly.
