Basic Pizza Dough Recipe
- 3/4 cup tepid water (about 105 degrees F to 115 degrees F)
- 1/4 cup tepid whole milk (about 105 degrees F to 115 degrees F)
- 1/2 ounce active dry yeast (2 1/4-ounce packets)
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- Combine water and milk in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook and sprinkle yeast on top.
- Set aside to rest until mixture bubbles, about 5 minutes.
- (If mixture does not bubble, either the liquid was not at the correct temperature or the yeast is old.)
- Combine flour and salt in a large bowl and whisk to aerate and break up any lumps.
- When yeast is ready, add flour and mix over lowest speed until dough just starts to come together and looks shredded, about 2 minutes.
- Increase speed to medium and continue to mix until dough is elastic and smooth, about 5 to 7 minutes.
- Gather dough into a ball, place in a large, oiled mixing bowl, and turn to coat.
- Cover with a clean, damp dishtowel, and let rest in a warm place until it doubles in size, about 30 to 40 minutes.
- Once the dough has risen, punch it down, then shape and bake it as desired.
