RECIPE FAQS
Can I freeze this pizza dough?
Yes, there are three ways to freeze this dough:
1. Form it into a ball, wrap in plastic wrap and freeze in an airtight container or plastic bag.

Add olive oil and gently stir to combine.
Add 2 cups of flour and salt and mix with a spatula until a slightly sticky ball begins to form.. Add more flour as needed to form a dough ball.
Transfer to a floured surface and knead into a smooth dough, adding up to 1/2 cup extra flour if needed.
Roll dough into your desired shape and gently transfer to your prepared pan. (Or bake on a pizza stone)
To ensure the dough doesn’t form air pockets, use a fork to prick to the dough all around (gently so you do not poke holes all the way through the crust).
Bake on the lower rack of your preheated oven for 5 minutes and remove from your oven. (this is just to very slightly prebake the dough). If you notice air bubbles forming, poke them with a fork to let the air out.
