Quick Artisan Pizza Dough Recipe: Ready in Just Two Hours

Artisan Pizza Dough

Ingredients for a small pizza:

250 g bread flour

150 ml warm water

4 g instant yeast / 6 g active dry / 12 g fresh baker's yeast

1 tsp sugar (10 g)

1 tsp Himalayan salt (7 g)

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

Ingredients for a medium pizza:

300 g bread flour

180 ml warm water

4 g instant yeast / 6 g active dry / 12 g fresh baker's yeast

10 g sugar

7 g Himalayan salt

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

Ingredients for one large or two small pizzas:

500 g bread flour

300 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 the yeast mixture sit for 15-20 minutes. After the yeast rises, stir the remainder of the undissolved yeast.

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 the 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 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 the dough into two equal sections and 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 250°C or 480°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 mozzarella & swiss, parsley, oregano, basil. Another favorite one is: ham & turkey, mozzarella, 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 it is ready
