Ingredients

  • 2 cups all purpose flour plus extra for rolling
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 2/3 cup milk
  • 1/4 cup salted butter softened

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees F and coat a 12-inch pizza pan with cooking spray.
  • Combine all ingredients in a mixing bowl. Using a dough hook, mix until dough forms. Transfer dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for 1-2 minutes, or until a smooth ball forms.
  • Use a rolling pin to roll the dough into a 12-inch circle. Transfer to the prepared pan, top with pizza sauce and toppings of choice.
  • Bake for 12-15 minutes or until crust is golden.

Notes

  • If you don’t have a pizza pan or pizza stone, use a large baking sheet either sprayed generously with cooking spray or covered with a piece of parchment paper. I’ve also had great success baking the pizza in a large cast iron skillet.
  • If you do not have a stand mixer with a dough hook, use a large spoon to mix the dough.
  • When you press the dough onto the pizza pan or baking sheet, be sure to form a ridge around the entire outer edge which will turn into the crust. This dough produces a nice, fluffy, perfect 1 inch thick crust!
  • Cook time will vary, depending on how many pizza toppings you use. Don’t open the oven door, but use your oven light and start peeking around the 12-minute mark. The crust should be golden brown when the pizza is done and the cheese will be melted uniformly.
  • As long as you’re going homemade for the crust, you may as well make your own Homemade Pizza Sauce, too! It is super easy and will taste way better than anything you can find in the store. It’s worth the tiny bit of effort required!
