The Easiest Actually Good Pizza Dough - No Mixer

[@alexmarples]

this is exactly what I needed. No stand mixer and enthusiastic home cook.

[@BrianLagerstrom]

Give it a try

[@AHinde]

Appreciate you thinking of us stand mixerless people.

[@Ootgreet1]

We have the smaller Kitchenaid stand mixer and sometimes it seems pretty useless - the ball of dough winds up snarling around the dough hook and thunking the side of the bow until you shut it down. Dough seems to come together faster by hand.

[@bc5441]

This is an easy dough to mix by hand… it’s not worth the extra effort of washing the mixer bowl and dough hook! I had the smaller KitchenAid at one time (the larger one wouldn’t fit under the upper cabinets in my kitchen) and after I don’t know how many loaves of bread, all of that stiff dough blew it out.

[@digbar7913]

​@@Ootgreet1That's when it's done though

[@jdotoz]

It is good to think of them, but in all seriousness: get a stand mixer if you want to bake regularly.

My 13 year old son watches all your videos and has started making your pizzas and breads!! I LOVE that he finds your videos so entertaining and you so cool that he wants to actually cook/bake!! He said to tell you, “great bod baker god!” 😂

[@BrianLagerstrom]

Hell yeah that’s so awesome. Tell him I say what’s up!

[@Heidirink]

@@BrianLagerstrom we go to St. Louis a lot bc of family and he’s always like, “maybe we should look up bri guy!” You’re a celebrity in our house 🤣👍🏼

[@mightymarf265]

Brian, thank you for not making us feel like inadequate home chefs for not having all the gadgets. I appreciate that a whole lot.

[@treycorte2203]

My stand mixer is a multipurpose tool not a gadget.

[@patrickselwood]

I remember watching a video on like "easy meal prep ideas" and the first thing the chef did was bring out their suvide (sp?) machine...

[@TheSatisfiedPig]

​@@treycorte2203 that's some small dick energy you got there, buddy. Or "compact mutli purpose tool" if you prefer.

[@mariehernandez4573]

@treycorte2203 Of course it's not a gadget. A stand mixer is definitely a doo-hickey. People these days.

[@JustSnowglow]

Honestly, congrats on the Bob's sponsorship.

[@BrianLagerstrom]

Thank you. They're definitely one of my dream sponsors.

[@kar0047]

I said the same

[@soundbites1152]

I live about a 30 minute drive from the Mill. Great stuff!

[@JohnHausser]

That’s a gangster move

[@burgerchild]

As an Oregonian, bobs red mill and Tillamook are 2 companies that we would go to war for

He does work out. Nice bod.

RIP Bob Moore. Happy to see his company partnering with your channel!

[@justina.6769]

Robert Gene Moore (February 15, 1929 - February 10, 2024) was an American food executive and philanthropist. He and his wife Charlee founded Bob's Red Mill, a brand of whole-grain foods and baking products, in 1978. Known for his white beard, red vest, bolo tie, and flat cap, an illustration of Moore's face is found on all of the company's products, alongside the salutation "To Your Good Health".

[@LeBashfulBadger]

@@JohnHausser He very much existed bro

[@xSluggySlugworthx]

Bob's is a great company, they sell a ton of things you cant find easily anywhere else. Its a little more pricey, but you get what you pay for.

[@shawnanderson466]

I learned to make pizza dough last year from watching this channel...& have literally made 2 pizzas a month every month since....He got the best videos on making dough ever...

[@hw260]

Thanks for the easy recipe. I'm a loyal Bob's customer. Have been for years. I'm making a big batch of Bri-Dough and stocking up my freezer to make 'quick pizza' happen anytime.

[@af8604]

Finally a recipe for us folks who live in small apartments & don’t have counter space for a mixer!

[@jetah50]

unfold a table in the LR near a plug. congratz on the extended kitchen counter space!

[@johncspine2787]

I have a decent sized kitchen but still run out of room..I often run my blender or processor on the floor..lol..then put them back after..

[@XjasondagX]

I just got an outdoor woodfire pizza oven for Father's Day. This might be the best timed video for me lol. I've been looking up pizza dough recipes

[@monkeygraborange]

The best Father’s Day gift! You do all the work and they reap the reward! 🤣👍

[@markf.4063]

If your pizza oven runs at temps higher than your home oven, as most do, then this might not be the recipe for that application. The sugar makes the dough prone to burning pretty quick.

[@TonyTama]

Happy Fathers day. Hope your dough works out

[@xDisengage]

Definitely check out his neapolitan pizza recipe too! It's my go-to recipe for my Roccbox

[@TedBarton91]

Block it up when not in use man, I’ve had a few friends with cats who used it as a litter box 🥺

[@heathermarkham77]

I made this tonight for dinner. I have tried multiple dough recipes, but none that proofed the dough like this one. It was much easier than I expected. By the time I made the third pizza, I got my rhythm down. We added our favorite toppings and watched them toast up in the oven. Let me tell you… THE BEST PIZZA EVER!! My man said it was the best pizza he has ever eaten. 😍 Thank you for the easy recipe and follow-along video!!

[@conorryan3035]

Getting Bob's as a sponsor is pretty impressive. Well deserved!

[@bc5441]

Bob’s is good stuff! And so is this pizza dough. I wouldn’t have guessed FOUR pizzas from 5 3/4 cups of flour, but as a result, there is pizza dough in the freezer. The stretching instructions and your demonstration are very helpful. I understand the importance of weighing ingredients rather than measuring their volume, but somehow your measurements leave me doubting my scale or doubting my ability to use a measuring cup. 😂

[@TravelEssentials-w2h]

Yes, I googled 680 grams is like 2.87 cups? But I still followed 5 and 1/3 cups of flour.

[@iomar90]

The cast-iron tip is great, I've been doing something similar with a good stainless steel pan and I just give the dough a head start over high-heat on the stove top for like 2 minutes (basically while I layer all my toppings) and it's the closest I've ever got to replicating a crust similar to a pizza oven.

[@LikeACrouton]

I tried this once, I kinda just ended up with a pancake before I got the toppings on cuz the pan was hot lol. Did you preheat the pan first or let it come to temp with the dough in it?

[@Owennerd]

@@LikeACroutonStart with a cold pan! This is my favorite method for home cooked pizza because it's so simple! I put a bunch of olive oil in the pan cold, then push the dough into the pan all the way to the edge. Then when I layer my sauce and toppings I make sure to spread them all the way to the edge of the dough so I get caramelized sauce and fried cheese edges! I then put that onto the range and cook the bottom on medium heat until I can pick it up with a spatula and it doesn't stretch at all, and visibly looks cooked. Then I just transfer the whole pan into the oven and really am only waiting until the toppings look done as I already know the bottom is done. SO easy and only takes one pan, doesn't require a peel or pizza stone, or the wasted thermal energy of all the pre-heat time you must do with a stone.

[@Owennerd]

Oh man the best part is being able to spread the sauce and cheese all the way to the edge of the pan where it caramelizes and fries... I intentionally load up the edge with more sauce and cheese just because that's my absolute favorite part.

[@emmythemac]

As an Oregonian I approve of this sponsorship. And Bob's is worker-owned!

[@stevenkukene9970]

You have given me the courage to make my own pizza. I got a pizza steel (game changer) and a large peel and have hade great success. After more than a few disappointments from my local pizza joint I see no reason to go back. That is knowing what I know now. Thank you.

[@TooLazyToFail]

We've been doing various recipes we found on KZbin, and honestly at this point my favorite pizza in town is one I make myself! I never expected that. Remember that your first version of any new recipe will not be nearly as good as the one you get after a few tries. Dialing it in to what you like will make it incredible! Good luck!

[@johncspine2787]

Check out the “Just One Bite Please” site’s Detroit style pizza recipe, it’s great, and doesn’t take a super high oven temperature either.

[@CactusGal]

I was really intimidated to make my own, and worried it would taste like my mom's pizza attempts (I love my mom, but she didn't like cooking). It was easier than I thought and, like you, I'm not going to be buying any more pizzas! 🍕

[@iambobwhoru]

@@CactusGal Pizza is the first step. Wait until you get into making your own sub rolls, ice cream, lattes. You'll never eat out again lol

[@AnEskimoBakes]

Hell yea, Dude! That looks sick!

[@TooLazyToFail]

Bob's has such good stuff! Great sponsor. This pizza dough looks amazing! We've been enjoying trying new pizza recipes. This looks like it needs to go on the list. Thank you for this channel!

[@rachelhuffman4501]

This was the best tutorial on hand stretching pizza dough I've ever seen. Thank you, I think I can master it now!

[@tankg13]

I’m so glad I was recommended this channel. I love the detail in everything this dude does. I never knew how much hungry my stomach gets just watching this man make pizza dough. Not even to the pizza yet

[@marcpatton5207]

Your stretch and fold -> tightening method has revolutionized how I make bread. I no longer pine for a stand mixer (much) and I don't knead by hand anymore.

[@BrianLagerstrom]

Hell yeah.

[@sheilariach8566]

OMG!!! Thank You, Thank You, Thank You!! I am the only person who manages to screw up stretching a "ready made" store bought pizza dough. (seriously) This video was the perfect "pizza for dummies" and it actually gives me hope! Honestly can't thank you enough for being so SLOWLY specific about technique. I will try again!!

[@edwinwang5594]

The details of your cooking method and the fact that you explain why those details matter really helped me improve my success rate. thumbs up for being knowledgeable and attentive.

[@terenceharris5610]

Made this tonight. It was great. It's like an instant NY style pizza. Obviously it lacks the complexity of a dough that's been cold fermented for 72 hours, but it's still really excellent for a pizza that takes 90 only minutes to proof. My wife and kids loved it. Thank you!

[@barbarareyes3005]

HI Bri i love the wet hand trick .. that actually added a bit more hydration to the dough and thanks for this easiest pizza dough recipe 😍😍😍🙏🙏🙏

Brian, many thanks my man! Made this pizza today with my four kids...first time EVER making fresh pizza...it came out PERFECTLY, first time! Felt like we were eating real pizzaria pizza right at home. I even used the oiled-parchment / roller pin method to stretch out the dough (from another video of yours). So easy! This will be a go-to recipe for us going forward!

[@legrandfromage9682]

[@evanbybee8953]

This is actually a very good pizza dough/pizza. Followed the recipe and made 2 pizzas for my family and everyone loved it. Thanks Brian!

I met Bob at a master gardener meetup - very sharp dude and looks exactly like the image on the bag. Great products from that company!!

This was an awesome crust especially to be able to make the day you want pizza. I’ve been looking for a good recipe and so glad I tried this! Husband can’t stop raving

[@annunacky4463]

I used to make dough like this. I now make a poolish (a wet dough) and let that ferment overnight. I know this was for fast pizza, but the flavor after 12-24 hrs is very good.

[@smarkalet9078]

Hey Bri, just made this for dinner for the family (doubled the recipe), was amazing! Thank you!

[@jamiehartzell5286]

Just made this recipe, as always freaking amazing.

Simply amazing! Thank you so much for showing us how to knead by hand and how to stretch the dough, my pizza turned out incredible!

[@ronruethain5521]

We tried it - we loved it. Added some sliced red onion but other than that, just like your video. We couldn’t stop until it was gone. Two thumbs up from st Charles, Missouri.

[@kitsune.stitch]

This recipe is hands down the one true pizza recipe to rule them all. I might have believed the at home Neapolitanish one was it, but no, this is The One until you outdo yourself again at some point. Saw the video at 11:30 this morning and made it for dinner tonight and my pies were almost as photogenic as yours - a first for me!! Used a 50:50 ratio of bread flour and plain flour and used Bertinet's slap and fold method to knead the dough. Dough balls spent 2 hours in the fridge between early afternoon and dinner time. Perfection.

[@morechickentacos]

Thank you for such a clear and straight to the point video! I hate when im looking for a recipe and end up in a half an hour video and they start talking about how {insert familiar here} love this recipe and it's their favorite 😅 like mam please, just gimme the recipe already!!! Anyway, THANK YOU!

[@Bamawagoner]

Made this a few days ago. Probably my most successful pizza. It stretched out to proper size, didnt stick to the peel, and the kneading process was minimal. I finally didnt have to use cast iron. Awesome.

[@quaked2023]

This pizza dough is amazing, I tried it today, started at 6:00 pm and by 8:30 I had the first pizza out of the oven, the pizza came out fluffy and crispy, thank you for this!

[@theritchie2173]

You got me, I've been lulled into a false sense of security since you stopped doing the "Let's Eat This Thing!!!!" dance so I didn't have my finger on the pause button. That being said, this is a great recipe for when you don't have time to do a 1-2 day ferment. And let's be honest, pizza emergencies sometimes just happen so this is perfect to fill that gap.

[@russellzauner]

If you ever visit Oregon, you should go have lunch at the mill. Yes, it's a literal place and Dave's Killer Bread is right across the street. Both those businesses have a rich history; couldn't be more different, both great and always focused on the healthiest items. Don't forget to complain over at Dave's about how you were expecting a Sin Dawg but they stopped making them.

I just tried it tonight and the dough is fantastic! Definitelly better than any dough from the store and cheaper, of course 🙂 This will be my go-to recipe now!

[@solnaer6439]

I made this already, 3 pizzas prepared and consumed. The cast iron variant was sooooo much easier to prepare, the downside is it came out soft on the bottom. The answer was just putting the skillet on the burner on high for about 2 minutes for that good crisp. Fabulous recipe, thank you for the instructions!

[@RyanPannu90]

With my mom and my wife being Celiac as well, I can't thank you enough for recommending Bob's 1:1 gluten free flour. we love cooking at home with it! can't wait to experiment with this pizza recipe and try it gluten free!

[@jillr6845]

Wonderful recipe. Both the crust and sauce. I have never settled on a pizza sauce until now. This is my pizza sauce from now on. I kept half the dough in the fridge for the next day and it was as good or better (though a little thinner, but I like that). Thanks Brian!

[@wam4985]

Thanks for the simple recipe! I didn’t make the dough but did follow your tips on how to stretch the dough and oven temp and time. Dough will be next!

I don't use a stand mixer, just a regular food processor! from watching some of Brian's videos. It makes it all so easy. Especially when using a beer + yeast mix. Now I just gotta improve my pizza shaping, but it's getting there. The dough comes out amazing.

cant wait to try your recipe on our BGE and Bob's AP. I have used their artisan bread flour and loved it.

[@goodyvine]

So good! Still working out the optimal time and temp in my oven / with my baking steel, as 550F for 9-10 minutes gave me burnt pizza - but it was well worth it and well worth the continued experimentation! We make pizza every Friday and this crust is absolutely delicious, even when a little charred 😂

I was thinking about making homemade pizza for dinner tonight! This is the perfect time to release this video for me XD

[@septilytarachmawaty2622]

Hi Brian, Thank you for sharing this simple recipe, but taste good. I have tried this recipe and my family loves it. This is my first time making pizza using all purpose flour. i think i like the texture. It is soft and not too chewy

Not too shabby! I didn’t get the elasticity or the nice gassy bubbles I’m used to in the dough, but it sure was quick and easy. Thanks for that!

[@dianehitson43]

Hey dude, thanks for the great recipe on the dough. Looks amazing. you made it look very simple and easy to follow. Especially putting the two in the freezer saving them for later and then two in the refrigerator to cook the day after I think though is better the day after you make it it gives it more structure. Also thanks for the tip on stretching the dough. That’s always been a problem for me

[@roitmani]

Made this tonight, came out amazing, I have used a pizza steel, I think that’s the key for a great crust

[@STOK5OH]

I've made somewhere north of a few hundred pizzas by hand at home over the years, and the best are the ones that I don't put much effort into and just toss it together as lazily as possible. That said, I always have pizza sauce that I make in bulk stashed in the freezer and it can make any pizza quite good.

[@NiborGnittekeduog]

I still use your quick pizza recipe with the beer replacement on the regular, it's one of my favorites!

[@strapsmcclellan3246]

Made this tonight. Very good! Used the cast iron method and used beer instead of water (mixing your pan pizza recipe with this one). Turned out extremely good! I took forever doing unrelated stuff while the 60 minutes rise was happening and let it sit in the bowl for ~2.5 hours. I'm not experience enough in pizza dough to know what this did, but I can say it didn't make it bad :)

[@heidisalaka6938]
