Recipe Steps

Add 1 cup warm water, 1 tsp instant yeast, 1 Tbsp olive oil, 2 ¹∕³ cups flour, and 1 tsp kosher salt to medium bowl. Stir until a sticky dough forms. 

Cover with a towel. Let rest in a warm place for 30 minutes. 

Thoroughly grease hands with cooking spray. Gently grab top edge of the sticky dough and stretch upwards. 

Pull dough down to fold in half. Rotate 90°. Repeat Steps 3-4 three times. 

Cover with a towel. Let rise in a warm place for 20 minutes. 

Add 3 Tbsp olive oil to a 9x13 baking pan (preferably metal). Pour dough into pan. Use oil in pan to thoroughly grease hands. 

Flip dough to coat with oil. Poke with fingers, gently pushing to corners of pan. 

Let rise in a warm place for 15 minutes. Alternatively, let rise in the fridge for up to 8 hours, then bring to room temperature before baking. 

Move oven rack to bottom level of oven. Preheat to 450ºF. 

Spread ¾ cup marinara sauce evenly over dough. Sprinkle with 2 cups grated mozzarella and ½ cup grated Parmesan

Add your favorite pizza toppings. 

Set on bottom rack of oven. Bake 20-25 minutes, until edges are browned. Cool 10 minutes and slice in 8 pieces.

Recipe Notes

  • The rise times are very flexible in this recipe, so don’t stress if it sits on your counter for an extra long time at any point. 

  •  Get the kids in the kitchen to help — poking the holes into the dough is an especially fun part of the process. 

  • Pro tip: a metal 9x13 pan is our favorite to use. It leads to a crispier crust and is much easier to clean, double win! 

  • Possible topping combos are very nearly endless, but recently we have loved pepperoni with hot honey and pesto with mushrooms.
