Ingredients
Scale
No-Rise Pizza Crust
- 1 ¾ to 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 envelope Fleischmann’s Pizza Yeast
- 1 1/2 teaspoons granulated sugar
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 2/3 cup very warm water
- 3 Tablespoons vegetable oil or canola oil
Toppings
- 1 cup pizza sauce
- 1/2 pound fresh mozzarella cheese
- Desired pizza toppings: pepperoni, bell peppers, olives, onion, pineapple, parsley, salami, Canadian bacon
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Set the oven to 450°F to prepare for baking the pizzas.
- Mix Dough Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine 1 cup flour, undissolved yeast, sugar, and salt. Add warm water and oil; mix well about 1 minute until blended.
- Form Dough: Gradually add remaining flour to make a soft dough. Pour dough onto a floured surface and knead about 4 minutes until smooth and elastic, adding flour as needed. Divide into 4 portions.
- Shape Crusts: Roll or pat each dough portion into an 8-inch circle and place on a greased baking sheet.
- Prebake Crusts: Bake the crusts for 5-6 minutes until just set and lightly browned on the bottom.
- Add Sauce and Toppings: Spread pizza sauce evenly over each crust. Add fresh mozzarella and desired toppings arranged for Halloween-themed pizzas.
- Bake Final Pizzas: Return pizzas to oven for 5-8 minutes until cheese is melted and bubbly.
Notes
- The pizza sauce can be made ahead and stored in the fridge up to one week.
- Chop all pizza toppings and keep them in airtight containers in the fridge for convenience.
- The dough can be prepared a few hours before baking and stored covered in the fridge.
- For freezing, assemble pizzas on partially pre-baked crusts, cover well, and freeze up to 2 months. Bake from frozen, adding a few extra minutes to cook time.
