KitchenAid Pizza Dough Recipe

(3 cups) flour

(1 packet) instant yeast

olive oil

(2 large pinches) kosher salt

water

Cornmeal

Start out by watching our Easy Homemade Pizza Dough Video to get a feel for the process.

In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine all ingredients (except cornmeal). Leave out a small amount of the water.

Using the dough hook from the mixer, stir until a loose dough forms. If a dough doesn&#8217;t form, add the rest of the water. If the dough is extremely wet and sticky, and a pinch of flour.

Attach the dough hook to the mixer and start on a low speed. Gradually increase the speed to medium until a ball forms. This should take about 30 seconds. If the dough does not release from the sides of the bowl, add a pinch of flour. If the dough is very dry and floury, add a small amount of water.

Once the dough forms into a ball, allow the mixer to knead for 8 minutes at medium-high.

After the kneading is finished, divide the dough in half. Using floured hands, gently shape each dough into a boule. Set each boule on a floured surface and dab with a little bit of olive oil to keep moist. Cover with a damp towel and allow to rise for 45 minutes to 1 hour.

To stretch the dough, pick up the risen dough and gently shape it into a circle. Do not over-work or fold the dough. Drape the dough over both of your knuckles and rotate it around, allowing gravity to stretch it into a circle. If the dough starts to resist stretching, put it down and allow it to rest for a few minutes, at which point it will stretch more easily.

Sprinkle a little bit of cornmeal onto a pizza peel or rimless baking sheet. Place the stretched dough onto the peel and quickly add toppings. Cook at 500° for 5-7 minutes until browned. Enjoy!

Just made this and it was perfect. really nice to stretch and my kids helped too :)

This recipe was a HIT in my house! My two boys can't eat it fast enough. After many other recipes this is the one! https://healthykitchenhealthybudget.com/2016/05/15/pizza-pizza/

I made this dough according to your instructions for a holiday pizza lunch in December 2015. I would like to make it again for an upcoming event. I wonder if the dough would benefit from a slow rise in the refrigerator. If so, do you think I should place it in the fridge after the 45-60 minute room-temp rise or instead of that?

Hi! I just got a stand mixer and so so excited to use it. What a great video! When I unpacked my mixer it had a big warning not to use the dough hook on anything above level 2. In your opinion, is it safe to go about 2 without ruining the mixer? The last thing I would want is to break the mixer. Do you know why they recommend going slow?

Used these for calzones last night. The dough worked beautifully. Thanks for testing this out on the stand mixer. Cheers.

Great recipe; I've have many frustrations making pizza and last night this recipe was a success. Thanks !

Hi. Tried this recipe before and it’s perfect. 
Quick question though; we are hosting a pizza party and will be cooking around 12 pizzas throughout the night over a 3 or 4 hours... will the dough be ok left out for that long rather than putting in the fridge? Or I guess the question is if I make the dough early afternoon will it be ok left out till the night? 
Many thanks

Excellent advice throughout this thread, so much appreciated.  The simple answer as to how long to leave the dough in the mixer kneading is great, and so hard to find online.  Happy 6th year birthday to this post, amazing!

Can this dough be frozen, thawed, and used later?
