It is super easy and simple to make quick pizza dough with instant yeast and other ingredients:

All-purpose flour or bread flour
Eka-300 powder
Instant yeast

Salt
Cooking oil
Egg
Luke warm water

In this recipe, I’ll tell you the secret of making the best dough. If you follow all the steps of this recipe, you’ll have the perfect dough.

Preparation

Take lukewarm water in a mixing bowl. The water should be neither too cold nor too hot. Because in both cases the yeast will not activate. Now add 2 tsp sugar and 2 tsp yeast to it. Mix well.

Cover it for 7 to 8 minutes and place it in a warm place so that it can fully activate.

Now take another bowl and crack an egg into it. Add 1 tsp salt and beat the egg well. Now add 7 tbsp of cooking oil and mix well. Add this mixture into the yeast and mix all the ingredients well.

Now take all-purpose flour. Sift the flour in a bowl. Add 2 tsp eka-300 powder. Mix well. This is a bread improver and easily available in the market. The dough rises well with this powder and becomes soft.

Preparing the Pizza Dough

Now make the depression in the center of the all-purpose flour and pour the liquid into it. Mix with the help of a spoon. After mixing put the dough on the silicone bread mat. Now knead the dough well with your hand. The better you knead, the better dough you have. Knead the dough for 3 to 4 minutes. After kneading, we’ll prepare a dough ball. Now cover the dough ball and keep it aside in a warm place. The dough will rise fully in an hour. For best results keep it in a warm place so that the dough may rise well.

After one hour you’ll see that a soft dough is ready. If it is in the form of a bunch of threads then the dough has risen in its best form.

Now dust the silicone mat slightly with all-purpose flour and place the dough ball over it. Roll and spread the dough lengthwise and divide it into four equal parts with the help of a cake knife. Take care of the mat while cutting the dough. Now shape these portions into dough balls. You will have dough balls weighing almost 190 grams each.

Making Pizza Crust

To prepare the pizza crust, take a baking dish and apply some cooking oil to its surface for lubrication, so that the crust may not stick to the baking dish. Spread the oil over the entire plate with the help of a cooking brush.

Before placing the dough ball in the baking dish, stretch it to some extent in your hands and then place it in the center of the baking dish.

Flatten the dough on the plate with the help of your hands or by using a rolling pin, pushing gently until fairly thin crust.

When the pizza crust is flattened completely on the baking dish, take a fork and prick the pizza crust all over it except its edge. This will help prevent making air bubbles. If you do not prick the pizza base, it may rise in the middle while baking. In order to keep the edges of the pizza crust soft, we can apply some cooking oil to it with the help of a cooking brush. We’ll not apply oil to the holes on the crust. Add desired toppings to the pizza crust and bake the yummy pizza. This pizza crust recipe is equally helpful if you want to prepare the thin crust pizza dough.
