Why You’ll Love This Pizza Dough Mix

• Simple Ingredients: With just a few basic pantry staples, this mix makes pizza dough quick and easy.
• Perfect for Customization: You can top your pizza with whatever ingredients you love, from veggies to meats to extra cheese!

Ingredients for the Pizza Dough Mix

• 3 cups flour
• 2 teaspoons dry instant yeast
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 tablespoon sugar
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon basil

Instructions for Making the Mix

1. Prepare the Pizza Dough Mix:
   In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, yeast, salt, sugar, garlic powder, and basil. This blend makes enough dough for one large pizza or two smaller pizzas.
2. Store the Mix:
   Transfer the dry mix to a 1-quart jar for easy storage. It will keep for several months in a cool, dry place, making it a great pantry staple for pizza night anytime.

How to Make Pizza with the Dough Mix

When you’re ready to make pizza, follow these simple steps:

1. Prepare the Dough:
   In a large bowl, add the dry pizza dough mix. Pour in 2 tablespoons of oil and 1 1/4 cups warm water (about 105-110°F or 40-43°C). Stir to combine.
2. Knead the Dough:
   Mix everything by hand and knead the dough until it becomes smooth and elastic. This usually takes about 5-7 minutes. If the dough feels sticky, add a little more flour until it’s just right.
3. Roll Out the Dough:
   On a floured countertop, roll the dough into a circle to fit your pizza pan. If you’re making smaller pizzas, you can divide the dough and roll it out into two pieces.
4. Prepare the Pizza Pan:
   Grease your pizza pan(s). For one large pizza, use a 14-inch pizza pan. If making two smaller pizzas, you can use 10-inch pans or another size of your choice.
5. Add the Toppings:
   Spread your favorite pizza sauce over the dough, then layer on toppings like cheese, veggies, and pepperoni or any other toppings you like.
6. Bake the Pizza:
   Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the pizza for 20-25 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbling and slightly browned.

Top Your Pizza with What You Love

One of the best parts of making homemade pizza is the ability to customize it. Whether you’re a fan of classic Margherita, veggie-packed pizzas, or meat-lover’s specialties, the choice is yours! Here are a few topping ideas to inspire your next pizza night:

• Classic Margherita: Fresh mozzarella, basil, and a drizzle of olive oil
• Veggie Supreme: Bell peppers, mushrooms, onions, olives, and spinach
• Meat Lover’s: Pepperoni, sausage, bacon, and ham
• BBQ Chicken: Grilled chicken, red onions, and barbecue sauce

Pro Tips for the Perfect Pizza

• Don’t Overwork the Dough: While kneading is essential, don’t overwork the dough. Once it’s smooth and elastic, it’s ready to roll. Overworking it can result in a tough crust.
• Let the Dough Rest: If you have the time, let the dough rest for about 15 minutes before rolling it out. This helps relax the gluten and makes the dough easier to shape.
• Preheat Your Oven: Make sure your oven is fully preheated before baking your pizza to ensure a crispy, golden crust.
• Use a Pizza Stone for Extra Crispiness: For an even crispier crust, bake your pizza on a preheated pizza stone. It will help evenly distribute heat and create that perfect pizza crust texture.
