Sheet Pan Pizza Dough

Recipe Description

This Sheet Pan Pizza Dough is a really great recipe when you need to feed a crowd. You won’t be surprised to hear that this dough gets its name because it is cooked in a sheet pan! It means that the pizza does not have a thin base, but that doesn’t make it any less delicious!

It is a pretty standard pizza dough recipe. Start by combining the ingredients and bringing the dough together in a ball. Knead the dough for about 5 minutes and leave to proof. Transfer the dough to a greased sheet pan and leave to rest for between 30 minutes and two hours. The longer the dough proofs at this stage, the more it will puff up, and the fluffier your finished pizza crust will be. Top with your favorite toppings and transfer to a hot oven to bake. 

To make the Sheet Pan Pizza Dough, you will need the following ingredients:
