Food-Processor Pizza Dough
Makes two 12-inch rounds.
Ingredients
- 1 Tbs. active dry yeast
- 1 tsp. sugar
- 1 cup warm water (105° to 115°F)
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp. salt
- 2 Tbs. extra-virgin olive oil
Directions
In a small bowl, dissolve the yeast and sugar in the warm water and let stand until foamy, about 5 minutes.In the bowl of a food processor fitted with the dough blade, combine the flour and salt and process with 3 or 4 pulses. With the motor running on the dough speed, slowly add the yeast mixture, allowing each addition to be absorbed before adding more. Continue processing until the dough forms a ball and cleans the sides of the bowl, about 1 minute, then process for 1 minute more.
Coat the inside of a large bowl with the olive oil and place the dough in the bowl. Cover with a clean kitchen towel and let the dough rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 1⁄2 hours. Divide the dough in half and roll out as directed in the pizza recipe.

It's a good recipe
I've used this basic recipe for decades but have moved up with using 00 Flour, honey instead of sugar, adding diastatic malt, etc. cold rising over 24 hours using poolish starter, etc. I make 16" NY style and large Sicilian sheet pizzas.

This is my go to pizza crust recipe
I found this recipe and Williams-Sonoma when I purchase a Cuisinart pizza oven. This is the best crust and if you do not use a lot of toppings, you will be extremely happy and how fast it comes together. Use parchment paper for first few min with a light sprinkle of cornmeal. Voila!

Does the dough freeze well?
Anxious to try especially given the great reviews! I have early generation food processor(14 cup). Do not have dough blade. I do have the one in the advertisement of the recipe(steel blade). Would that suffice? Thank you!

Great easy dough
Some comments complain about not enough water. A while back I watched the black and white Julia Child TV show. One show she demonstrated how to measure a cup of flour. She shifted the flour into the cup then leveled off the top. Do not scoop or pack flour into the cup, too much flour and insufficient liquid.

Passes the Kid-Test
I am so blessed to find this recipe! After trying several others, Im shocked at how easy this comes together. Ive used it three times now and Im very happy with the results. I roll it out very thin - yes, it seems to take a smidge more water but I understand that is probably because of the humidity and not the user. Then I read pizza dough can be used to make cinnamon rolls...who knew. My grandson says Im the best cooker. #winning

so much easier on arthritic hands than kneeding
I have used this recipe at least 20 times now & it makes an excellent pizza dough. I cannot kneed dough because it makes my arthritic hands ache. This was a game changer. It's so good!

Not enough water
This is ok but I swear one cup of water just is not enough am I the only one who had this problem? Maybe two cups flour would work better
