Quick Pizza Dough

Need pizza bases in a hurry, or got some leftovers you want to use up? Then this quick same-day pizza dough is for you. This is an incredible recipe, which can be made with ease. It provides some great flavour. There are more complex pizza bases that we can make with pre-ferments (We will cover another day), but this is great all the same.

  • Total Time: 1 hour 45 minutes
  • Yield: 8 Individual 1x

Ingredients

Units Scale

12 G Active-dry Yeast
60 ml Warm water
420 G All-purpose Flour
180 ml Water, Cool
6 G Salt
30 ml Olive Oil
20 G Honey (or Rice syrup, maple syrup, golden syrup)

Instructions

1. Add the warm water, yeast and a little bit of flour into a bowl, then mix to combine. Let this sit until it starts foaming a little bit.

2. Add in the flour then slightly mix. Then add in the water and bring it together. Once it comes together add the oil, honey and salt. Knead until it all comes together and forms a dough approximately 3 minutes.

3. At this point knead the dough until it is fully developed approximately 8 minutes, then place it in an oiled bowl and cover it. Put this aside for 40 minutes or until doubled in size. (May take different times depending on environmental factors.)

4. Once doubled, take out and give a light knead, this will knock the air out. Divide and pre-shape into rounds. Cover these and bench rest for 15 minutes (This allows the gluten to relax, which will help when you have to roll out the pizza bases.) From here you may put them in the fridge for 2 days.

5. Roll out pizza bases to desired thickness. Or you can fill the middle and fold it over for “Calzone”.
Top / Fill with selected toppings. Bake these in your selected oven.

Notes

Another great option if you have freezer room is to roll these out and freeze them, this way you have a meal ready to go. Or if you have a lot of the Sunday roast left, then top it and off you go.
