Hints & tips
This pizza dough recipe is versatile, allowing you to either create a quick pizza dough or one that develops a thinner, crispier base with a longer resting time.
To achieve a thinner, crispier base, simply leave the dough somewhere warm for up to 1 hour.
Additionally, this pizza dough recipe allows for preparation, shaping, and par-baking in the oven for 5 minutes. Afterward, cool the partially baked dough on a wire rack before freezing it for later use.
