Homemade Pizza Dough

Intro
Around here, Friday night is known as our family’s pizza party night. I like to make the dough a few days in advance and freeze it - it’s just easier that way for me.
Here’s the recipe I use to make homemade pizza dough:
Ingredients
- 1 tbsp. Yeast
- 1 tsp. Sugar
- 1 tsp. Onion Powder
- 1 tsp. Oregano
- 1 tsp. Garlic Powder
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 1/2 - 3 c flour (more if using whole wheat flour)
Step 1
Dissolve yeast and sugar in pre-heated water ( water should be between 105 degrees Fahrenheit and 115 degrees Fahrenheit) You will know if your yeast is active if after 5 minutes it starts to bubble. This is called "proofing the yeast." While you’re waiting for your yeast to proof, combine onion powder, oregano, garlic powder, and oil.
Step 2
Step 3
Step 4
You will know when your dough is ready when it is no longer sticky and instead feels like velvet.
Step 5
Coat bowl with oil, roll dough around for a quick coat, and let set to rise. (Notice the dough on the left is made with whole wheat flour).
Step 6
Step 7
Step 8
Step 9
Bake at 350°F for at least 20 minutes. I always leave ours in longer because the hubby likes his cheese crispy.
Step 10
Enjoy! Oh - I always double the batch and freeze in smaller portions. Just make sure you use a good zippy sandwich bag & try to get the majority of the air out. To thaw, either leave the dough in the fridge the night before, or out on the stove the morning of your pizza night.
I have found baking from scratch has saved us money and I actually KNOW what my family is eating - because I’m the one making it.

You really can cook pizza in a pizza pan at 475 degrees Fahrenheit and it will cook in about 20 minutes. I never used a stone so I don’t know if you have to keep the temperature low.
