The ingredients needed to make My pizza dough:
  1. Take 4 cups all purpose flour

The kneading builds up gluten which is the stretchy network of strands in the dough. It's what makes the dough smooth and elastic as many recipes will call. Your comments have made me think I add the salt too soon, in the yeast, and the sugar and the oli… Also, I thought it was suppose to be kneaded a few times just like bread. Check my recipe for an example pizza dough recipe.

Steps to make My pizza dough:
  1. This recipe makes 2 pizzas. Sprinkle yeast over 1 1/2 cups of warm water(not luke warm) water.
  2. In mixing bowl combine flour and salt. With the mixer running on low speed (with paddle attachment) drizzle in the oil until combined with the flour.
  3. Pour the yeast/water mixture in mix til combined. I switched to my dough hook. Coat a separate bowl with a light drizzle of oil. Form the dough into a ball. Toss to coat the dough in the oil in the bowl.
  4. Cover bowl with plastic wrap and store in your fridge til you need it. Its best to make this dough 24 hrs in advance but best to make a few days in advance. In the picture this was the 3rd day.
  5. Once its been the fridge for 24 hrs or a couple of days, preheat oven 500 degrees. Drizzle baking sheet with oil use fingers to coat evenly. Remove half of the dough from the bowl. Stretch dough out to desired thickness and shape. Spoon pizza sauce to your desired amount of sauce you like. Add your choice of toppings. I used a few different white cheeses and pizza sauce. I also made a bbq chicken pizza. The baking time depends on what you shape it and the thickness. If thin then 13-15 minutes bake time. If thick then bake longer maybe 20 minutes or longer. Enjoy.

Can I Still Use The Dough? You can still use the pizza dough to make thin crust pizza. It won't rise so the crust will be small, and because no yeast fermentation has occurred, the dough will lack in flavors developed from this process. Another option is to make flat breads or tortillas. Because pizza dough needs a certain amount of flour balanced by a certain amount of moisture, it is easy for outside factors to alter the recipe a little bit.
