Lightly oil a large bowl. Place the dough in the bowl, turning to coat. Cover with plastic wrap or a clean kitchen towel. (1 minute)
06 Step

Let the dough rest for 10 minutes. This allows the gluten to relax, making it easier to shape. (10 minutes)
07 Step
Recipe View
After the resting period, the dough is ready to be shaped and used for your favorite pizza recipe.
For best results, use a kitchen scale to measure the flour. This will ensure consistent results every time.
If you don't have rapid-rise yeast, you can use active dry yeast. However, you will need to proof the yeast in warm water for 5-10 minutes before adding it to the other ingredients.
The dough can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Bring to room temperature before shaping.
Feel free to experiment with different types of flour, such as bread flour or whole wheat flour, to create your own unique pizza crust.
