Ingredients & Substitutions
I love using organic flour when I can. It feels good to know I'm supporting sustainable farming practices. If you're gluten-free, you can try a gluten-free flour blend, just check that it has xanthan gum in it to help the dough hold together!
Tips & Notes
- •I like to add herbs like dried oregano or basil directly into the flour for an extra flavor kick.
- •If the dough feels too sticky, don’t hesitate to add a little more flour as you knead.
Recipe Variations
- •Sometimes, I’ll blend in some ground flaxseed with the flour for added nutrition.
- •You can also mix in some nutritional yeast for a cheesy flavor without the dairy!
Storage & Freezing
If you have leftover dough, store it in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. Just give it a quick knead before using it again to bring it back to life!
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I freeze the dough?
Absolutely! Wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and store it in the freezer. Just let it thaw in the fridge overnight before using.
What if I don't have active dry yeast?
You can use instant yeast instead; just mix it directly with the flour and skip the proofing step!

Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover it with a kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 30 minutes or until it doubles in size.

Once the dough has risen, punch it down gently and roll it out on a floured surface to your desired thickness.

Transfer the rolled-out dough to a baking sheet or a pizza peel (if using a stone), add your favorite sauce and toppings, and bake for 12-15 minutes until the crust is golden.
