Bobby Flay Pizza Dough Recipe

If you're looking to craft the perfect pizza at home, Bobby Flay’s pizza dough recipe is your go-to!
This recipe requires only a few basic ingredients like bread flour, instant yeast, and olive oil, which makes it super simple to follow.
I love how the dough can be used for both baking and grilling – offering versatility in your pizza-making adventures.
One key trick to remember is to let your dough rest for at least an hour; it makes it so much easier to stretch and shape.
The resulting crust is wonderfully crispy on the outside but chewy in the middle, striking the perfect balance every time.

Ingredients

  • 4 cups Bread Flour
  • 1 tsp Sugar
  • 1 package Dry Yeast
  • 2 tsp Kosher Salt
  • 1 1/2 cups Warm Water
  • 2 tbsp Olive Oil

Instructions

  • Combine the bread flour, sugar, yeast, and kosher salt in the bowl of a stand mixer.
  • Mix on low speed to blend the ingredients.
  • Gradually add the warm water and 2 tablespoons of olive oil while the mixer is running.
  • Continue mixing until the mixture forms a ball.
  • Remove the dough from the bowl and knead it on a lightly floured surface for a few minutes.
  • The dough should be smooth and elastic.
  • Lightly oil the sides and bottom of a large bowl with more olive oil.
  • Place the dough in the bowl and turn it to coat in the oil.
  • Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a clean kitchen towel.
  • Let the dough rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
  • Once the dough has risen, punch it down to release any air bubbles.
  • Divide the dough into portions if making more than one pizza and roll out as needed.
