Joanna Gaines Pizza Dough Recipe
This Joanna Gaines Pizza Dough Recipe is soft, fluffy and easy to make at home. It gives you a perfect pizza base with a light and chewy texture.
Yield: 2 medium pizzas
Materials
- 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast
- 1 cup warm water
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
Activate the yeast
- Mix warm water, sugar, and yeast in a bowl. Let it sit for 10 minutes until it becomes foamy and active.
Prepare dry ingredients
- In a large bowl, combine flour and salt. Mix well so everything is evenly distributed before adding wet ingredients.
Make the dough
- Add yeast mixture and olive oil into flour. Stir until a rough dough starts forming and pulling together.
Knead the dough
- Place dough on a clean surface. Knead for 8–10 minutes until smooth, elastic, and soft to touch.
Let it rise
- Place dough in a greased bowl. Cover with a towel and let it rise for 1 hour until doubled in size.
Punch and divide
- Gently punch down dough to remove air. Divide into two equal portions for medium-sized pizzas.
Roll the dough
- Roll dough into circles using a rolling pin. Adjust thickness depending on your pizza style preference.
Ready for baking
- Place dough on tray, add toppings and bake at high heat until golden and crispy on edges.
Notes
- Use bread flour for chewier crust
- Add garlic powder for extra flavor
- Brush edges with olive oil before baking
- Let dough rest longer for softer texture
- Use honey instead of sugar for slight sweetness
- Freeze dough for future use
- Pre-bake crust for extra crispiness
