Are you ready for a fast and easy pizza dough recipe? Before this recipe, I truly dreaded waiting for dough to rise after a full day's work of mommy duties. Seriously, as a busy mom of three I rarely have time to wait for dough to rise, but with this easy peasy pizza dough I can have a homemade pizza dough ready for toppings in about 10 minutes. I promise this 10 minute pizza dough recipe is about to make your life a little easier, so let's get cooking!
First, In a in a mixing bowl dissolve one .25oz packet of rapid rise yeast and honey in 120-130 F heated water. Let the mixture stand until creamy, about 5-6 minutes.
I used my KitchenAid Mixer (affiliate link)
, but you can also do this step by hand. If you are using a mixer attach the dough hook and slowly mix in 3 cups of bread flour, salt, and 3 TBSP of olive oil and mix until you have pizza dough. You may need to add up to ½ cup more of flour. Let the dough rest for 5 minutes. The dough may be a little sticky, if so just add a little flour to your hands and place the dough on a floured working surface.
Dust the dough with flour and knead a few times to smooth out the dough. Dust your rolling pin and roll your dough into any size and shape. My family prefers a thin and crispy crust, so I am able to get approximately four 10 inch pizzas out of this recipe.

This looks really simple! We make a pizza every Friday night for family movie night; I'll have to give this recipe a try next time. Thanks!

LOVE quick & easy recipes like this! Pizza party, anyone? 😉
Audra
Pizza is a weekly tradition at our house, so I am glad to have this recipe to lean on 😉 Thank you so much for stopping by!
Monica
How long do you bake it once the toppings are added? Or is it fully baked in the 5min? Thanks!
Audra
Hi Monica, I bake mine for about 15-20 minutes longer and remove the foil off the bottom the last 5 minutes for a crispy crust! Cooking time may vary from gas to electric. If you try this recipe I would love to know your thoughts! Thank you so much for stopping by.

Thanks! I baked it on my stoneware pan, for about 20min more. Crust was quite crispy around the edges, quite soft in the middle, but done. I also used whole wheat bread flour, which might affect things a little.
We only used half the dough today, so the rest is waiting in the fridge for another day. I'll try it on just foil next time and see how that goes! 🙂

You might want to try cooking the pizza dough at 450 next time to see if that makes a difference. I have never used a stoneware pan or tried this recipe with whole wheat bread flour, but increasing the temperature might help with the consistency of the crust.

Is it the rapid rise yeast that does the trick? My method is very close to this but I always do the rise. I will have to give it a try!
Audra
I have tried this recipe with active yeast, but lately I have been using rapid rise when doing this recipe and I am getting better reviews from the family. And I see the difference as well! Thanks for stopping in Valerie, it is always good to see you!
