A high-hydration, artisan-style bubbly pizza dough recipe that creates a crispy, chewy crust perfect for homemade pizza nights. Easy to make from scratch and ideal for achieving a golden, airy, and flavorful pizza base.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 ½ cups all-purpose flour (or bread flour for extra chew)
  • 1 ½ tsp salt
  • 1 tsp sugar
  • 2 ¼ tsp active dry yeast (1 packet)
  • 1 ¼ cups warm water (about 110°F)
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • Optional: garlic powder and dried oregano for added flavor

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, mix warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for 5–10 minutes until foamy.
  2. In a large bowl, combine flour and salt. Add the yeast mixture and olive oil. Stir until shaggy, then knead for 8–10 minutes by hand or in a stand mixer with a dough hook.
  3. Place dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let it rise in a warm place for 1–2 hours until doubled in size.
  4. Divide the dough into 2 balls. Gently stretch each ball into a 10–12 inch circle by hand.
  5. Preheat your oven to 500°F with a pizza stone or steel if available. Top the dough as desired and bake for 7–10 minutes until crust is golden, crispy, and puffed.

Notes

  • Use bread flour for a chewier texture.
  • Don’t skip the yeast activation step — it ensures a good rise.
  • Hand-stretching helps preserve air bubbles for a light crust.
  • Top with fresh basil or a drizzle of olive oil for extra flavor.
