I'm floored . This pizza dough recipe was better than the ones that had me measuring, proofing, etc .

[@wendyschnapa7582]

oh man! i just had pizza last night and bought the pre-made crust from the supermarket. i felt intimidated when i made my own pizza crust years ago and never made it again. but with nicole's recipe, i feel encouraged to make my own again! thank you nicole!

[@kings98124]

This is my go to pizza crust whenever I'm in a hurry to make a homemade pizza. I'd like to share some tips: I would add in an extra pinch of salt and 1 tsp of garlic powder to the mix, pre bake the crust with the pizza sauce for 5 mins (highest setting / fan assisted oven) then I will add the cheese and the rest of the topping and finish baking it in the oven. This will prevent the crust from being soggy and underbaked.

[@billybritt5334]

Well😅

[@beckyhill7599]

Hello, I wish I would have read your tips before I baked the pizza. The crust turned out to breadlike almost cakelike. Maybe I will try again and bake the crust alone first. Thanks

[@liniwaskow321]

Thanks, Nicole!! Can't wait to try it. I've checked out a lot of pizza crust videos on KZbin. This was the best by far and the easiest to follow. Always enjoy watching you, Nicole. You're not only a talented chef but entertaining to listen to. Cheers!

[@bruzer1234]

This is the best pizza dough I have ever made. I don’t understand it. I’ve made pizza dough many times and every time, the dough is funky…this time it was absolutely perfect!

[@affizam757]

I never usually come on KZbin videos, I tried this today. And OMG. This is the THE BEST and easiest receipe everrr !!! Thank you so so much for sharing such an amazing recipe. My pizza came out delicious ❤️

[@stacey2017]

We just made it! Kids loved it!!! Such a fun recipe and sooo easy and delicious!

[@josifw]

The quickest pizza dough has to be Greek yogurt + self rising flour! Super quick and easy to throw together (no mixer needed at all) - makes a crust with a great tender chew!

[@jennyolive710]

Thanks for sharing this recipe with us. We just made this , chicken barbecue pizza. My son loves it. He said that this is the best homemade pizza. Will make this again. On the video it says 2 1/4 cups of bread flour but on the written recipe it says 2 1/2 cups of flour. I followed yours which is 21/4 cups of bread flour. Used 1 1/2 teaspoons of active dry yeast from the jar equivalent to .25 oz of 1 package ADY. Added some garlic powder on the flour and additional pinch of salt . It turned out really good. Thanks again 😊.

[@rozrocks1257]

I think they should put this recipe on the cover of the magazine! I think so many people would buy the magazine while waiting in line at the checkout. "Everyone" loves a good pizza!

[@pegparrish3512]

Terrific Nicole!! I used to get excited about making pizza until you get to the part in the recipe, “put in the fridge for 24 hours”. 😩. I am ready to give this a try and see how it works! Everybody remember, parchment paper is your friend!! Made pizza at a beach house once with no sheet pan, formed the pizza on the parchment and put it in the oven directly on the rack (very carefully). Came out great!! Thanks so much Nicole and I hope you and your family have a wonderful holiday weekend! 😘

I’m gonna try this!! I normally use the Jiffy pizza crust mix but I really wanna see how this comes out the way I make it using a little corn meal dusting before it goes into oven to crunch up that crust on the outside.

[@SpYucaipaSoCal]

Wow simple to the point. None better thanks.

[@kylepsheridan]

Thanks! Quick and easy

[@suz0000]

You make it look so easy! 😊 Bread maker is a great way to make the dough too.

[@drakehonest9]

Hey 👋 how are you doing?

[@amyrayford3640]

I have been making my family's pizza recipe for as long as I can remember. It is quick too, but it is more like a thick bread instead of the thin stretchy dough like this one. I will say, this recipe is a keeper! I made 2 12"x14" square pizzas. I was able to stretch the dough super thin. (something my family's recipe can't do) The texture, taste and ease to make was all on point! Thank you for this recipe! It is going to be my new go to for a great fast meal! If y'all have looked at several recipes and said to yourself, " I don't want to wait 24-48 hours for my dough to sit in the frig like all these other recipes" well then you have to try this one. I seriously can't tell you how great this pizza turned out. I give this recipe the highest recommendation I can give.

[@cathywilson1273]

@amyrayford3640 - Thank you for sharing your tips! I am in agreement with you on the waiting timeframe 24-48 hours for dough...so this recipe should be a great alternative to the doughs that require a longer proofing time. Thanks again!

[@metasamsara]

I'm trying this tonight. I don't have bread flour so i just use 2 cups all purpose and a quarter cup whole flour. Also didn't have enough olive oil so I did half olive oil and half colza oil. Added a tsp of garlic powder as per comment tip, thanks for the recipe :D

I use more water slightly but put it in a bag and squeeze it back and forth a couple of minutes or more . I put it on greased foil sheet with flour dusted . Maybe let it rise . While the oven heats up to 450° Rectangular can be sliced across from front to back into long triangular slices a foot long .

[@margote8072]

I love lots of mushrooms, red peppers, etc but especially loaded with mushrooms and we all know how much water is in mushrooms, so before loading my pizza I spread out all my mushrooms on a paper towel and other vegies the same way & my kids love bacon & pepperoni so I put all the meat on paper towel and I microwave all the water off the vegies and grease from the meats I'll use and then I'll load my pizza. Turns out so good without being soggy but nice and crispy crust.

[@user-wl2uy5un5q]

Hi Nicole!! Thanks for the recipe. How much time and temperature can I put in a conventional oven for a medium size pizza. It's my first time making one?

[@gebnut9032]

I love this recipe because not only does it taste good but I have tendinitis in both hands and I don't have to do 5 or 6 mins of kneading the dough.

[@Draconis72]

Added a little garlic and oregano to the crust mixture which came out great! 👍

[@markmcdowell231]

Home made pizza crust is so much better and you can put as much or little on for toppings , I like my toppings to the edge not a inch or more dough . When my wife sitter was up my son ordered pizza from this restraint it cost over $47.00 for 2 large 1 small it came with a lot if toppings we did not plain to fed 4 more people, Nice job .

Do you have a homemade pizza sauce recipe? Can you place it in a round cake pan and let it raise for a thicker crust? I just love your videos!

[@peggybreaux8973]

This I am going to try . Do you have a fast bread recipe?

[@russbear31]

A great, simple recipe for pizza dough. This would probably work well for a pizza made in a well-greased, 12-inch cast iron skillet. That's easier than freestyling it on a baking stone. 😃

[@kalo924]

And heat the cast iron pan with pizza for 3 min on stovetop before putting it in?

[@billybritt5334]

My 16 inch cast iron works excellent I preheat it for 10 minutes

[@kimberlyarmstrong2929]

The video says 2-1/4 cups bread flour, but the written instructions say 2-1/2. I used the 2-1/2 and it was ridiculously sticky. I'm thinking with 2-1/4 cups it would be even stickier? I have made a lot of pizza dough, typically with longer rest/rise times. I was really excited to try this as a quick alternative and would like to try it again, but am not sure. Any tips would be greatly appreciated. 😀

[@22anamae]

I didn't several stretch and folds every 1/2 and a longer rise time. Not as sticky

[@NorthernSweetPea]

Work it more. It gets easier to work with. Slap and fold for an extra 3 or 4 minutes and you will start to feel it start to get smooth and elastic.

[@debrobertson-positivedirec5898]

Good question. You probably already have an answer. If not....My dough was sticky too. Most breads are worked on a floured surface and gives a range to use. So I always start with the lower amount of flour. For this recipe, I heavily floured the area I was working it on. About half a cup. Turned the dough over a couple times to coat well. Shaped it. I had to Sprinkle a bit more on top as I was working it. Much of the flour worked in while I was shaping it. Love this recipe!

[@casinosnoopy9900]

Will this dough work well in an Ooni pizza oven?

[@arlenedevroy1110]

Best pizza crust ever, I added garlic and onion powder and brushed crust with garlic butter. Mmmm

[@miguelsalami]

Don't forget to keep your hands flowered while working with the dough. You can also mix some with a little corn meal for the pizza pan.

[@margote8072]

Did I miss this... temperature and how long in oven?

[@elisiaross6987]

Just a question. Why did the crust not have to rise for an hour to double in size? I’m all for easy!

[@donnabutler2145]

Divide into fourths to make individual pizzas. Form the crust and freeze flat. I suppose you could add the sauce and cheese before freezing. Bake on a stone directly from the freezer. The dough also makes a great playing dough for grandkids.

[@cheery-hex]

thanks!

[@juliasmith2346]

I use honey instead of sugar with the yeast. Mmmmmm so good

[@creativesolutions902]

Yes, this looks pretty dang easy… Can we refrigerate the extra dough if we’re not gonna make that many pizzas? Thanks!

[@colleenbeamer6403]

Thanks for this! I'm not necessarily intimidated by making my own pizza dough. However, the recipes I've found all make dough for multiple pizzas. I don't want to do that so, I appreciate the ease and size of this recipe. Love watching your videos, Nicole! 😊

[@urwis3636]

How long does it have to be in the oven

[@johnnydonaldcarr1847]

Tip best flour to use is type oo. Normal flour will work as well but pizza dough flour is better.

Making your own crust is the only way to go!

[@artfreund9759]

I would like to try this recipe but you failed to mention in your video at what temperature and for how long are you cooking the pizza?

[@hlynnkeith9334]

In place of sugar, I add a spoonful of the flour to the yeast and water. Serves the same purpose. I oil my pizza pan and spread out the dough on the pan to let it rise there.

[@laurapresley1795]

Made it.. used half one day... put the other half in the fridge. Next day unwrapped it...let it sit on the counter 15 minutes and made another pizza...my husband liked them both and he's picky about his pizza. Will use this recipe as a base and start adding to it. I always make the recipe as written...and it becomes my base recipe if we both like it...then I just copy the printed recipe and make notations on it and file it with the base recipe for next time.
