Dough Ingredients
- 2¼ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 Tbsp baking powder
- ¼ tsp salt
- 1 cup milk
- ¼ cup butter, room temperature
- 1 Tbsp olive oil
Instructions
- Preheat Oven and Prepare Baking Surface: Place a pizza steel or pizza stone in a cold oven and preheat the oven to 475ºF. This ensures the baking surface is hot and will give a crisp crust.
- Make the Dough: In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a dough hook, combine the flour, baking powder, salt, milk, and butter. Mix on low speed until a cohesive dough forms.
- Rest the Dough: Transfer the dough to a glass bowl and coat it with olive oil to prevent drying out. Cover and let it sit in a warm area for 10 minutes to relax the dough slightly.
- Roll out the Dough: Remove the dough from the bowl and place it on parchment paper. Roll it out into a circle to your desired thickness, ready for toppings.
- Add Toppings and Bake: Spread your choice of sauce, cheese, and toppings evenly over the dough. Using a large cookie sheet, transfer the pizza (with parchment) onto the preheated pizza steel or stone in the oven.
- Bake the Pizza: Bake for 10 to 12 minutes until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly. Remove from the oven, slice, and enjoy your quick homemade pizza.
Notes
- This dough uses baking powder instead of yeast, so no rising time is needed, making it ideal for quick preparation.
- Using a pizza steel or stone helps achieve a crispier crust, but you can also bake on a regular cookie sheet if necessary.
- Feel free to personalize toppings according to your preference, from classic Margherita to veggies or meats.
- Room temperature butter helps incorporate better into the dough for a tender texture.
- For a dairy-free version, substitute milk and butter with plant-based alternatives.
