Kitchenaid Crusty Pizza Dough

I use this recipe all the time. It is important to only put as much flour as needed usually closer to 2.5 than 3.5 cups. Sometimes I double the olive oil, sometimes I add herbs to the dough such as rosemary or italian seasoning.

Great! I only needed about 2 1/2-3 cups flour and proofed the yeast with a tsp of sugar. I did knead it in the mixer for at least 5 minutes until I thought the dough was ready. I let rise for 1 hour then a second rise for 45 minutes. I was able to stretch and roll this out to a huge round pizza (we like it thin) and still save a small ball of dough to make my son one for lunch tomorrow. Thanks Kitten!

I LOVE this dough recipe. I used to make it all the time when my KA mixer was new, then I lost the recipe book. I use a white wheat flour now, and it's dryer for some reason, so I end up adding a few TBS warm water to the mix while it's mixing. So if you use a whole grain flour, add water if dough it acting crumbly and not balling up as it should!

Simple dough and easy to follow directions! I usually use Pizza Dough for my dough but I thought I'd give this one a try. I did add some pizza spice to the dough but I kept everything else the same. I think next time I will add some grated parmesan cheese to the dough as well, just like the other recipe has. I will also pre bake the shells a bit too, as they did not stay as crusty as I would have liked them. I topped this with my new favourite topping Bar b que chicken (chopped chicken breast mixed with Bobbie q sauce Bobbie-Q Sauce (Barbecue Sauce)) along with caramelized onions, and mushrooms. I also do not have a kitchen aid mixer but the dough was easy to work with my hands.

I made this dough recipe with my new kitchenaid. I thought it was very good and I will make it again. I only added less then 3 cups of flour because it didn't need anymore. I didn't have to add any water. I baked my pizza at 450 for 20 minutes but I think that was a little too long for that high of an oven temp. Next time I will either lower the temp or the baking time. It was a nice crispy crust but I almost burned it leaving it in that long. I have tried several different pizza dough crust and I actually like this one the best!

This was the first thing I made in my stand-alone mixer. I was quite happy. It turned out very good and was much less messy than the packaged crusts that I had been making previously.

TIPS:

follow the recipe exactly as written, you will notice that the dough becomes this doughy mess that doesn't all stick together, slowly add water and oil in small amounts until you notice the dough starting to stick together. At one point I paused the kitchen aid and formed the dough into a ball on my own, dropped it back in and let the machine work it for a few minutes longer, turned out great!

As others have mentioned I let the kitchen aid work the dough for at least five minutes.

My home is fairly cool so in order to create a warm environment for the dough I set the oven to 125 (the lowest it would go), then turned it off before the oven had the chance to fully heat up and let the dough rise in the warm oven. make sure to coat the top of the dough as well as the sides of the bowl in some oil. The top was a tiny bit crust but don't worry about it, when it was fully risen i quickly kneaded it in and it was great!

ALSO! i prefer my dough not as crispy and hard so if you are not making a super thin crust pizza you should lower the oven temp to 350 and cool longer!

GOOD LUCK! HAPPY COOKING! =)

I signed up for this site just to blast this recipe. On TWO attempts this dough (if you can call it that) was just dry flour going around the bowl. What a mess. I read a couple reviews that said they had to add some water to the mixture in order to make it work. A waste of my time and ingredients. There's several GOOD reviews so I don't know what the problem is. SO if you try this, beware, and have a couple TBSP water ready to add to it.

I didn't care for this dough. Crust was too thick -- could've made 2 pies from it -- and flavorless. I'm only giving it 2 stars b/c my husband liked it. I usually use this recipe: http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Pizza-Dough-I/Detail.aspx

I made this pizza dough last night and it was awesome! My husband loved it! I used quick rise yeast and the pizza was done in less than half the time!

This recipe is fabulous! I made it last night and it was so easy and worked just great. I am going to divide it next time into 2 x 10" pizzas (we like thin crust) and partly cook and freeze. I hope it works!

I made this the other day and it was SO GOOD and easy. The crust around the edges looked and tasted just like a bought pizza. I used the marinara sauce Homemade Marinara Sauce to go on it and it was delicious. I will be making this again! Thanks.

I've used this pizza crust recipe a couple of times and it is really really good. I also only used 3 cups of flour. I used store bought spaghetti sauce and then covered with pepperoni, sliced Roma tomatoes, sliced onion, red peppers and olives. I cook until the veggies have had a chance to soften a bit, the top with cheese and cook till the crust is crisp.

I made two 12" Chicken, garlic, spinach and onion pizza's by doubling the recipe. I did have to add about 2 T more water per batch but it might have been my flour. Don't be scared to add more water if your dough is raggedy and not balling correctly. Remember to only add 1 teaspoon of warm water at a time, let it mix and go from there.

THANK YOU soooo much for posting this! I LOVE this dough because it is so easy and tasty. I lost my Kitchenaid cookbook and have been missing this recipe ever since.

This dough was great! I topped it with tomato sauce instead of pizza sauce and I added my own spices - I used pizza spice, italian seasoning and dill weed. Then I added some minced garlic. I put mozarella cheese and veggies on top. It was very easy to make. I only needed 3 cups total of flour. Any more would have made the dough too dense. The dough rose very quickly.
