Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 2 ¼ cups all purpose flour
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- ¼ tsp salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup milk
- ¼ cup butter (room temperature)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or prepare your pizza pan according to your preference or its instructions to prevent sticking.
- Mix the Dough: In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. Add in the milk and room temperature butter. Using a dough hook attachment on a mixer, mix on low speed until a cohesive ball of dough forms. If you don't have a mixer, stir thoroughly until the dough comes together into a ball.
- Prepare the Dough for Rolling: Lightly sprinkle flour on a rolling pin and your hands. Remove the dough ball from the bowl, pat it down with some flour to reduce stickiness, and shape it into a solid ball.
- Roll Out the Dough: Place the dough ball on the prepared baking sheet. Using the floured rolling pin, roll the dough out to your desired thickness, approximately ¼ inch thick for this recipe.
- Add Toppings and Bake: Spread your favorite pizza sauce evenly over the rolled dough and add your choice of toppings. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the crust is golden and the toppings are cooked through. Remove from oven, let it cool slightly, then slice and enjoy!
Notes
- This dough does not require yeast or rising time, so it’s perfect for quick meal preparation.
- Room temperature butter helps create a tender crust but avoid melted butter to maintain proper dough consistency.
- You can adjust the thickness of the dough to your preference; thinner dough will be crispier, thicker will be more tender.
- For a crispier crust, consider prebaking the rolled dough for 3-5 minutes before adding toppings.
- Leftover dough can be wrapped tightly and refrigerated for up to 24 hours or frozen for longer storage.
