This easy fluffy food processor pizza dough recipe delivers a light, airy texture perfect for homemade pizza. Quick to prepare and kneaded effortlessly with a food processor, it yields a classic pizzeria crust with a homemade touch.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 ½ cups (440 grams) all-purpose flour
  • 2 ¼ teaspoons (7 grams) instant yeast
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 ½ teaspoons salt
  • 1 ¼ cups (300 ml) warm water (about 110°F/43°C)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Optional: 1 teaspoon dried oregano or basil
  • Optional: ½ teaspoon garlic powder

Instructions

  1. In your food processor bowl, add 3 ½ cups (440 g) all-purpose flour, 2 ¼ teaspoons (7 g) instant yeast, 1 tablespoon sugar, and 1 ½ teaspoons salt. Pulse a few times to mix evenly.
  2. With the motor running, slowly pour in 1 ¼ cups (300 ml) warm water (about 110°F/43°C) through the feed tube, followed by 2 tablespoons olive oil. The dough should start to come together within 30 seconds.
  3. Continue processing for about 1 to 2 minutes until the dough forms a smooth, elastic ball that pulls away from the sides. If it’s too sticky, add a tablespoon more flour; if too dry, add a teaspoon of water.
  4. Remove the dough from the processor and shape it into a ball. Place it in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with plastic wrap or a damp towel, and let it rise in a warm spot for 1 to 1 ½ hours, or until doubled in size.
  5. After it has risen, punch down the dough gently to release air bubbles. On a lightly floured surface, roll or stretch the dough into your desired pizza shape and thickness (usually about 12 inches/30 cm diameter for a standard pizza).
  6. For a crisper crust, bake the dough on a pizza stone or baking sheet at 475°F (245°C) for 5 to 7 minutes before adding toppings (optional).
  7. Add your favorite sauce, cheese, and toppings, then bake at 475°F (245°C) for 10 to 15 minutes, or until the crust is golden and toppings bubbly.

Notes

Use warm water at about 110°F (43°C) to activate yeast without killing it. If dough is too sticky after rising, dust hands and surface lightly with flour for easier shaping. Preheat oven and pizza stone or baking sheet for at least 30 minutes for a crispy crust. Dough can be made ahead and refrigerated or frozen for later use.
