Recipe Courtesy of Paula DeenServings: 2 16" Round Pizzas
Prep Time: 2 hours 20 min
Difficulty: Easy
5 cup All Purpose Flour
2 pkgs Active Dry Yeast
2 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
2 teaspoon salt
2 cup water, warm
In a standing mixer with a hook attachment, place the warm water, yeast and sugar and 1 tablespoon olive oil. Allow to sit until yeast begins to foam. Add flour and salt and mix the dough until it is smooth and pulls away from the side of the bowl. Drizzle half of the remaining olive oil over the top of the dough. Turn the dough over in the bowl cover and allow it to rise to approximately twice it’s size. (about an hour)
Punch the dough down and pour out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead again. Place it back in a bowl and drizzle with the remaining olive oil. Turn over, cover and allow to rise a second time. After it has risen, punch it down again. It is now ready to roll out for your pizzas!

Best. Dough. Ever!

Hey Rhonda! Thank you for your questions. When making pizza, Paula likes to start with a very hot oven, 425ºF. She likes to bake her pizza on the reverse side of a baking sheet in the lowest part of the oven. Hope this helps! Let us know how your recipe worked out.
By Libbie Summers on July 24, 2011
Hey Darrell Swentik! Your water should be anywhere from 120º-130º to activate the yeast. Basically, the hot water that comes from your tap after it has run for a minute. It should be very warm to the touch.

I've tried this recipe and I'd suggest using 1/2-whole-wheat flour to 1/2-Self Rising flour. I double up on the yeast for PAN pizza and leave it out for thin crust. The whole wheat flour gives it a nutty flavour and I suggest pasting the rim /side with garlic-butter spread. You can use garlic salt and butter to avoid a trip to the store. de.doughboy

It is more of a quesion then a comment. Is their a temp that the water should be at when making pizza dough?
By Darrell Swentik on July 15, 2011
I have had other recipes that say 425 for 20 minutes or until the crust is brown and cheese bubbly. That's what I used and it was great. Homemade dough is the best and very easy.
