One Bowl Basic Pizza Crust
I love Italian cooking and pizza! So I wanted to enjoy restaurant-quality pizza at home! This is our family's favorite pizza. It's a lot of fun to customize the crust's thickness and vary the toppings.
If the dough is too wet to knead, adjust with more flour. Roll out the dough thinly for crispy Italian-style crust and leaving it thick will produce a soft skillet crust.
Chill the leftover dough in the fridge to stop the yeast reaction. Use this recipe to make focaccia by topping with coarse salt and rosemary. Recipe by makkocafe

Cooking Instructions
- 1
In a large bowl, combine the flour, yeast, salt and sugar.
- 2
Make a dent in the middle and add olive oil, and water warmed to the touch.
- 3
Use a spatula to quickly combine the ingredients.
- 4
Using the palm of your hand, knead by pushing down on the dough and push out. After about 5 to 6 minutes, when the dough stretches, form it into a ball.
- 5
Cover with plastic wrap and place in a warm spot. Allow to rise for about 1 hour until doubled in size.
- 6
Use your hand to punch the dough releasing any air, then divide into 3. Cover with wrap to prevent drying and leave for 5 to 10 minutes.
- 7
Making sure that the dough doesn't stick, use your hands to spread out the dough on a pizza pan greased with olive oil.
- 8
Adjust the shape so the center is thin and create a lip around the edge. (This is easily done if you work on the spot closest to you while turning the pizza pan).
- 9
A crust stretched to about 25 to 26 cm in circumference will be crispy. Roll out the crust with a rolling pin if you prefer.
- 10
Brush the entire crust with olive oil (olive oil on the edges will produce a beautiful finish). Spread on pizza sauce and your favorite toppings.
- 11
Bake at 250°C for 6-7 minutes. The picture shows a Margherita pizza with mozzarella and basil. It's my favorite.
- 12
Make it more authentic by preparing with Herb infused Olive Oil
- 13
This is a variation I made for a Christmas Party "Salad Pizza".

I think that kneading flour into dough is the ultimate Slow Food. When I'm leisurely kneading dough on a day off while listening to music, all my daily stress just disappears. The dough will become more delicious too.The most important thing is to knead the dough thoroughly. Please knead it well for 20 to 30 minutes while listening to music. Just be careful not to knead your iPod into the dough! The other key is to rest the dough in the refrigerator. It will become very easy to flatten out. Recipe by Koba -

I don't like pizza crust that's too soft and fluffy like bread. So I thought in that case, I don't really need to bother too much about kneading and rising times. I tried out my theory, and the result was a crunchy, nutty crust that had just the right softness and was delicious, so I made it into a recipe!In the summer, just leave the dough to rise at room temperature, and it will do so while you are preparing the toppings. In the winter, use your oven's bread-rising setting or put the dough in a warm location for 10-15 minutes, which is enough. This crust is not puffy like bread, so you only need to leave it to rise for a short time. Recipe by Lesser Panda -

I devised this recipe in a way that the dough will be easy to roll out.How to store the dough: After dividing the dough at Step 6, lightly coat the dough with olive oil, wrap in plastic wrap and put in a plastic bag. It will be okay for 1 to 2 days in the fridge, and about 1 week in the freezer. At time of use, knead it a little bit, let rest for 10 to 15 minutes and then roll it out. Let it defrost at room temperature. Recipe by Baketto -

There's a lot of waiting involved, but the actual time investment here is minimal. Mix the dough in the morning and set it aside. By dinner time, all you need to do is form it into a good pan, add the toppings, and pop it in the oven. I think it still needs some tweaking, but it's a great start.
