What, pizza dough in a food processor!

  1. Yes, you can make pizza dough entirely in a food processor, hassle-free. No need to knead by hand.
  2. In 60 seconds pizza dough is ready!
  3. You’ll need a handful of pantry ingredients.

How about low-carb pizza without dough? Try these gluten-free low-carb zucchini pizza bites.

Ingredients

food processor pizza dough ingredients
  1. Flour – I used plain flour/all-purpose flour. For best texture use pizza flour or bread flour. It gives nice chewy texture.
  2. Warm water – use warm water to activate yeast. Yeast loves warm water and rises in it. If water is too hot, it will kill the yeast.
  3. Yeast – I used active dry yeast in pizza dough recipe. If you have access to rapid rise or instant yeast you can use it directly in making dough, avoid added step of blooming yeast in warm water.
  4. Sugar – sugar helps dough rise and brown the pizza crust.
  5. Olive oil – adding olive oil has two fold advantages. It flavors the pizza dough plus keeps the crust moist when you bake in oven.
  6. Salt – always season. Bland flavorless pizza crust isn’t appealing.

How to make food processor pizza dough

If you use active dry yeast just like me, you need to dissolve it in water so it blooms (or rises).

To warm water add sugar and active dry yeast. Mix to combine.

Let yeast rest until it is bloomed (or risen) nicely.

Note: do not use old/expired yeast. If yeast does not bloom, discard and make a fresh batch.

Into food processor add flour and salt.

Pulse it few seconds to combine.

Pour olive oil in slow streams waiting for flour to mix in oil.

With motor on low, pour risen yeast slowly in 10 seconds allowing flour to mix in the liquid.

Let processor run on low motor for 30 seconds. Hold on to food processor as it runs and kneads the dough. It will shake.

Take the dough out. Shape it into ball.

Tip: if dough it too wet add one or two tablespoon flour, if flour is too dry sprinkle some warm water. Knead dough in food processor until pizza dough reaches right consistency.

Grease a large bowl with olive oil.

Place pizza dough in, turn it over to coat in olive oil all sides.

pizza dough raises double

Cover with cling film, place bowl in warm place for 1-2 hours.

Once dough raises double the size, lightly knead it, divide dough into 4 equal portions. Roll into balls. Shape pizza by stretching and pulling method. Use it to make your favorite pizza recipe.

Recipe tips

  1. Use fresh active dry yeast. Old stock of yeast will not make dough rise.
  2. If yeast does not rise (bloom) do not use it. Discard and make another fresh batch.
  3. Use warm water. Hot water will kill the yeast, room temperature or cold water will not activate yeast.
  4. Use white flour. Pizza flour or bread flour gives pizza nice chewy, crispy texture. You can use all-purpose flour too.

      I don’t see why you can’t add it to the dough. But if making the dough for pizza I’d keep it plain. That’s again personal chioce.

    Have not made the dough yet. Sounds great, but I’m concerned about the indicated 2,344 mg sodium!! Where is it coming from? And that is just for the dough. I’d hate to see what it would total once adding sauce, cheese, etc. Recommended sodium intake for an entire day is around 2,500 mg. Hope this was a typo/mistake!

      The measurement is for the entire pizza dough. I have added 2 teaspoons salt for the entire dough and measurements are calculated using a tool, please note it can be appropriate calculations.

    This is a reliably good recipe, my go-to when there isn’t time to cold proof dough for 72 hours. My son uses this recipe exclusively and makes amazing pizzas. Thank you for sharing your recipe.

My food philosophy is simple, fresh and full of flavors! I love ‘spicy’ food. In fact so much so that I can skip dessert for extra spicy savory food!
