Description

This quick and easy 10 Minute Pizza Dough recipe is perfect for when you’re craving homemade pizza without the long wait. Using simple ingredients like yeast, flour, honey, and olive oil, the dough comes together fast and bakes into a golden, crispy crust topped with your favorite ingredients. Ready in just about 30 minutes, this recipe is great for a speedy weeknight meal or a casual weekend treat.

Ingredients

Pizza Dough

  • 1 (0.25-oz) packet yeast
  • 1 cup warm water
  • 2½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp honey
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 2 Tbsp olive oil
  • cornmeal, for dusting

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 400ºF (200ºC) and allow it to reach the temperature while you prepare your dough.
  2. Make the dough: In a large bowl, dissolve the yeast in warm water by stirring gently. Once dissolved, add the all-purpose flour, salt, honey, and olive oil. Begin mixing with a wooden spoon and then use your hands to incorporate everything into a cohesive dough. Let the dough sit and rest for 10 minutes to allow it to develop slightly.
  3. Prepare the baking sheet: Sprinkle a baking sheet generously with cornmeal to prevent sticking and to add a slight crunch to the crust base.
  4. Shape the dough: Press the rested dough onto the cornmeal-dusted baking sheet, spreading it to your desired thickness and shape for your pizza crust.
  5. Add toppings: Load your pizza dough with your favorite toppings such as tomato sauce, cheese, vegetables, or meats.
  6. Bake the pizza: Place the topped pizza in the preheated oven and bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the crust is golden, the toppings are heated through, and the cheese is bubbly and melted.

Notes

  • Allowing the dough to rest for 10 minutes helps relax the gluten, making it easier to stretch and shape.
  • Using warm water (not hot) activates the yeast effectively without killing it.
  • Cornmeal on the baking sheet adds texture and prevents the dough from sticking.
  • Feel free to customize toppings to suit dietary preferences or what’s available in your kitchen.
  • If time allows, letting the dough rise longer can enhance flavor and texture but is not necessary for this quick recipe.
