The Easiest Actually Good Pizza Dough - No Mixer

As a pro pizza baker for 4 years, I can say that this is the easiest actually GOOD pizza dough you can make. This recipe uses a simple technique and fermentation process along with a reliable flour to give us a fantastic result with minimal effort. Grab Bob's Red Mill’s Unbleached White All-Purpose Flour & some of my other favorite Bob's products in my Amazon storefront or at your local grocery store. When I bake with Bob’s Red Mill products, I know I’m fueling myself, my family, and my friends with the highest quality of ingredients since their products go through rigorous testing processes to safety. Comment how your baking goes. #bobsredmill

RECIPE - Makes 4 Pizzas
▪400g (1 2/3c) Warm Water, 86F/30C
▪20g (1 1/2T) Extra virgin olive oil
▪7g (2t) Instant Yeast
▪15g (1T) Salt
▪20g (2T) granulated sugar
▪680g (5 3/4c) All-purpose flour:

Instructions:
1. Mix warm water with olive oil, yeast, salt, and sugar then use a sturdy spook to gradually add 680g (about 5 1/3 cups) of all-purpose flour to the bowl and combine until flour has hydrated and has formed into a clump of dough.
2. At this point, switch to mixing using your soaking wet hand. Grab and squeeze the dough repeatedly until ingredients are fully incorporated and dough is homogenous.
3. Cover the bowl with a lid and let the dough ferment on the counter for 30 minutes.
4. Wet your hand to prevent sticking, and perform a series of strength-building folds. To do this, grab a corner of the dough, stretch it out gently, and fold it back over itself. Repeat this process 4-5 times around different parts of the dough.
5. After folding, flip the dough so the seams are underneath. Shape the dough into a tight ball by rounding it up from one side to the other while tucking under to create tension. Cover and let sit at room temperature for 60 minutes.
6. After the total fermentation time of 90 minutes, turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. 7. Divide into four equal pieces, each weighing about 280g.
8. Shape by folding the sides inwards and turn 90 degrees to repeat, then flip over and roll into a ball to strengthen further.
9. Spray a baking tray with olive oil and place the pre-shaped dough balls on it. Cover and let them rest for 15 minutes to relax before pressing the dough out into a pizza and topping.

To make the pizza in a cast iron pan instead, press a dough ball into an oiled cast iron skillet until it's about 8 inches in diameter. Let it rest covered for 10 minutes, then finish pressing out into the pan.
10. Dress the dough with sauce and your preferred toppings.
11. Bake in a preheated oven at 550°F (285°C) for 10-12 minutes for the pan pizza or 9-10 minutes for a hand-tossed version on a pizza stone or steel.

PIZZA SAUCE RECIPE:
(makes enough for 4+ pizzas - I usually freeze half)
▪28oz can crushed tomatoes
▪100g 6Tbsp tomato paste
▪12g or 2 tsp salt
▪20g or 1 2/3Tbsp sugar
▪2g or 2 3/4tsp dried basil
▪2g or 2tsp dried oregano
▪1g or 1/2tsp chili flake
▪2g or 3/4tsp garlic powder
▪2g or 3/4 tsp onion powder

Into a high sided container add crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, salt, sugar, basil, oregano, chili flake, garlic powder, and onion powder. Spin with immersion blender to break down to smooth, but still has texture.

Appreciate you thinking of us stand mixerless people.

[JustSnowglow]

Honestly, congrats on the Bob's sponsorship.

[mightymarf]

Brian, thank you for not making us feel like inadequate home chefs for not having all the gadgets. I appreciate that a whole lot.

[Heidirink]

My 13 year old son watches all your videos and has started making your pizzas and breads!! I LOVE that he finds your videos so entertaining and you so cool that he wants to actually cook/bake!! He said to tell you, “great bod baker god!” 😂

[alexmarples]

this is exactly what I needed. No stand mixer and enthusiastic home cook.

[ivacheung]

RIP Bob Moore. Happy to see his company partnering with your channel!

[shawnanderson]

I learned to make pizza dough last year from watching this channel...& have literally made 2 pizzas a month every month since....He got the best videos on making dough ever...

[xSluggySlugworthx]

Bob's is a great company, they sell a ton of things you cant find easily anywhere else. Its a little more pricey, but you get what you pay for.

[hoynmsy]

@1:35 I thought for sure he was going to say “most people watching this video….have hands.” 😂

[XjasondagX]

I just got an outdoor woodfire pizza oven for Father's Day. This might be the best timed video for me lol. I've been looking up pizza dough recipes

[af]

Finally a recipe for us folks who live in small apartments & don’t have counter space for a mixer!

[terenceharris]

Made this tonight. It was great. It's like an instant NY style pizza. Obviously it lacks the complexity of a dough that's been cold fermented for 72 hours, but it's still really excellent for a pizza that takes 90 only minutes to proof. My wife and kids loved it. Thank you!

[conorryan]

Getting Bob's as a sponsor is pretty impressive. Well deserved!

[hw]

Thanks for the easy recipe. I'm a loyal Bob's customer. Have been for years. I'm making a big batch of Bri-Dough and stocking up my freezer to make 'quick pizza' happen anytime.

[iomar]

The cast-iron tip is great, I've been doing something similar with a good stainless steel pan and I just give the dough a head start over high-heat on the stove top for like 2 minutes (basically while I layer all my toppings) and it's the closest I've ever got to replicating a crust similar to a pizza oven.

[emmythemac]

As an Oregonian I approve of this sponsorship. And Bob's is worker-owned!

[stevenkukene]

You have given me the courage to make my own pizza. I got a pizza steel (game changer) and a large peel and have hade great success. After more than a few disappointments from my local pizza joint I see no reason to go back. That is knowing what I know now. Thank you.

[TooLazyToFail]

Bob's has such good stuff! Great sponsor.

This pizza dough looks amazing! We've been enjoying trying new pizza recipes. This looks like it needs to go on the list. Thank you for this channel!

[finnsfolks]

Finally, a recipe that can be done in just a couple hours and NOT multiple days!

[rachelhuffman]

This was the best tutorial on hand stretching pizza dough I've ever seen. Thank you, I think I can master it now!
