Make the perfect pizza by starting out with this homemade dough.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220° C).
  2. Place flour, yeast and salt into the Vitamix container in the order listed and secure the lid.
  3. Pulse the machine on its lowest speed for 5 seconds to incorporate the dry ingredients.
  4. Select Variable 6 and remove lid plug. Pulse about 30 short times in 25 seconds while slowly adding oil and water through the lid plug opening. Remove lid and use a spatula to scrape the dough off the sides of the container.
  5. Secure the lid and continue pulsing another 30 times until a dough ball forms. After ball has formed, pulse continuously for 10 to 15 seconds
  6. Remove dough from Work Bowl and knead on a counter for about 1 minute. Place in a greased bowl in a warm area for 1 hour, or until doubled in size. Divide dough in two and stretch each dough into a 12" (30cm) pizza crust, topping as desired. Bake until crust is golden brown and toppings are evenly cooked.
  7. Divide dough in half and stretch each ball into a 12 inch (30cm) pizza crust, topping as desired. Place in preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes.

Notes

Pizza dough proofs best in a warm environment - try warming water in a microwave-safe dish for 2-3 minutes, then placing the bowl in the microwave to proof, or placing the bowl on top of a warm oven.
