Pizza night is a staple in our house. Every Friday is pizza night.
Instead of buying and storing mass amounts of pizza crusts, I make my own from scratch. I use this quick and easy recipe that only requires 3 ingredients that I always have on hand.
(Ok, so I realize if you read the recipe, its actually 5 ingredients... I didn't count salt and water since they are two common staples.)
One batch of dough gives me enough to make 3 single size pizzas and one larger, or 2 large pizzas. I cook all my pizzas on Pampered Chef Stoneware. (I specifically use the Pizza Stone [mine is an older version], and the Personal Pizza Stone. You can view all of their cooking stoneware here.)
Making the dough is simple. You mix all the ingredients, divide and roll out, then cook. I like to cook the dough for a few minutes, flip then add toppings, then cook a few more minutes.
This dough is also good as leftovers (especially when reheated in an air fryer!).
While you can mix this dough by hand, I find it easiest to use my KitchenAid Stand Mixer.
