Homemade Pizza Crust (Dough) from Scratch – Easy Recipe
Here is a recipe that I’ve been using for years now for my own homemade pizza crust from scratch! Don’t be intimidated by making it at home. It’s so easy and is the best crust there is! This is the same crust used in my pepperoni pizza video from a few years back. Enjoy!
What you’ll need:
3/4 cup warm water (about 100*F)
2 Tbsp granulated sugar
1 tsp active dry yeast
1 tsp salt
1 Tbsp olive oil
2 cups all-purpose or plain flour
additional oil for greasing
In a large bowl, combine water and sugar and sprinkle yeast on top to re-hydrate. Don’t use too hot of water or you will kill your yeast. After yeast is a bit foamy, add in salt, 1 Tbsp oil and flour. Mix well until it comes together to form a dough. Knead until smooth and all flour is incorporated and dough is no longer sticky, about 3 minutes. Grease a bowl with another tablespoon of oil, coat dough ball with oil and cover with a damp towel. Let rise in a warm place for 1-2 hours or until doubled in size.
To use, grease a pan with more oil, pat dough out using your finger tips to 14″-16″ in diameter. Spread with sauce, top with cheese and toppings and bake in a preheated 450*F oven for 12-14 minutes or until crust is golden brown and cheese is melty. Makes (1) 16″ pizza. Enjoy!!

Hi,
I would like to do this in a 9×13. Sorta like a deep dish maybe. Do you think it would work? Should I bake it some first? I would really appreciate your thoughts on this.
Thanks!!
Another nice recipe, Thank you !
can i put in more yeast? will it effect the pizza dough?

I do exactly what you doing but the dough won't rise.@crouton crackerjacks
Confused somewhat…almost EVERY pizza making upload the narrator says ,"add warm water to yeast, it must be 110 degrees warm?",..huh?,..kettle boiling point is 100 degrees and that's BOILING, so how can 110 degress be warm water? huh and again,..huh??
I love how you get to the point with easy to understand instructions. I will try some of your recipes.
