Quick Pizza Dough Recipe | I want Pizza today recipe

Whether you are prepared with your homemade dough in the fridge, or on an urge you want pizza tonight.  Which to me is almost a daily craving.  The challenge for mastering pizza dough is preparation.  So many of you have asked if there is an alternative.  So today we are sharing our quick pizza dough recipe.

The good news, we're using the same four basic ingredients, flour, salt, water and yeast.  In fact, we're only making a few small changes.  First things first, we still need to measure our ingredients with our digital scale, don't have one yet?  Look no further, a digital scale will do the trick and measure your ingredients perfectly.

Once you have portioned your ingredients it's time to get to work.  If you want pizza tonight, better start this homemade pizza dough around noon.  It takes a few hours of preparation, most of that time is for a couple of proof's.  We're going to whisk together our dry ingredients, then warm up the water.  If you don't have a thermometer that's ok, just blast your faucet water as hot as it will get, that should do the trick.  The hot water will activate the yeast a bit faster, because we don't have a whole lot of time. Combine the hot water into the flour mixture and knead it for a couple of minutes.  Set it on the counter and let it rest for 30 minutes.  Then yank it out and knead again for 2 or 3 minutes.  Then cover again and let it proof for a couple of hours.  Next, heat up your Baking Steel Original or Griddle and use this quick pizza dough recipe to make some pizza in your home oven...
