To make pizza dough without a mixer, you will need the following ingredients:
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1 packet (2 1/4 teaspoons) active dry yeast
- 1 cup warm water
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- To prepare the dough:
In a large bowl, combine the flour, salt, sugar, and yeast. Mix well to combine.
- Add the warm water and olive oil to the dry ingredients and mix until a dough forms. If the dough is too dry, add a little more water. If it’s too wet, add a little more flour.
- Once the dough comes together, turn it out onto a lightly floured surface and knead it for about 5-7 minutes, until it becomes smooth and elastic.
- Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl and cover it with a towel. Let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until it has doubled in size.
- Once the dough has risen, punch it down and transfer it to a lightly floured surface. Roll it out to the desired size and thickness, then transfer it to a pizza pan or baking sheet.
- Add your desired toppings and bake the pizza according to the recipe instructions, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
