Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.25 cups Warm water (around 110°F/43°C)
- 1 tbsp Granulated sugar
- 2.25 tsp Active dry yeast
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
- 3.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 1.25 tsp Salt
- 2 tsp Garlic powder
- 0.5 cups Grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tbsp Cornmeal (for dusting)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the warm water and sugar. Stir until the sugar dissolves.
Sprinkle the active dry yeast over the top of the water. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes, or until the mixture becomes foamy.
Add the olive oil, garlic powder, and salt to the yeast mixture. Stir to combine.
Gradually mix in 2 cups of flour using a wooden spoon or a stand mixer with a dough hook at low speed.
Add the grated Parmesan cheese and continue mixing. Gradually incorporate the remaining flour, about 1/2 cup at a time, until the dough begins to pull away from the sides of the bowl and is slightly sticky.
Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes by hand (or continue kneading with the mixer for 5-6 minutes). The dough should become smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, turning it to coat the surface with oil. Cover with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap and let it rise in a warm, draft-free area for 60-75 minutes, or until doubled in size.
Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). If using a pizza stone, place it in the oven to preheat as well.
Punch down the risen dough to deflate it, then transfer it to a lightly floured surface. Divide the dough into two equal portions for two medium-sized pizzas.
Roll out the dough to your desired thickness, shaping it into a circle or rectangle. Transfer to a pizza peel or baking sheet dusted with cornmeal to prevent sticking.
Add your favorite pizza toppings and bake for 10-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden and crispy, and the cheese is bubbly and melted.
Remove from the oven, slice, and serve warm. Enjoy your homemade Garlic Parmesan Pizza Dough!
