Pizza Dough

How to make your own homemade pizza dough. When you prepare your own pizza dough, you have the option of using much better ingredients than the ones used at a pizza shop, and that makes a huge difference.

When making pizza, there is still the challenge in shaping the dough. But once you have complete control over your ingredients, and — when you get good at it — you’ll be proud of your results.

Pizza dough can be kept frozen so it’s very useful to round up a batch for one or two people and keep the rest for another occasion.

A good food processor can literally make easy pizza dough within a minute. You can also use a stand mixer ( the Kitchenaid Artisan Stand Mixer works beautifully at this task) or mix and knead the dough by hand, first in a big bowl, then on a floured board or your countertop.
