It’s pizza night in your house and you’ve got a couple of options. Option 1. Call up the nearest pizza place to get a pie delivered, and wait and wait for it to arrive while your tummy growls to let you know that it’s taking way.too.long for that pizza to arrive. If pizza night in your house is the same night that it is in my house (either a Friday or Saturday), the place you order from is SLAMMED and you can expect to wait at LEAST an hour. Option 2. Buy frozen pizza dough or pre-packaged crusts from the grocery store. They’re good, but not great. Option 3. Make this super fast and easy homemade pizza dough in minutes and have your entire family oohing and aaahing over your pizza making capabilities!

pizza made with Fast & Easy Pizza Dough

This is the fastest and easiest way I know of to make homemade pizza dough at home. It requires only a few ingredients, and simply a wooden spoon and your hands to mix the dough together. There’s no fussing with chilling the dough overnight, and there’s no hassle of dealing with kneading dough and letting it rise! Not only is this dough super simple to make, it’s tasty!

I’ve been making this recipe for several years now, and have perfected it along the way. The beauty with pizza making is that you can get creative and add any toppings and sauces you’d like. We make BBQ chicken pizzas in this house, almost more than we make a traditional pizza with a tomato based sauce.  We’re also pretty big fans of Mexican Pizzas!

If it’s pizza night in your house, no need to bust out the frozen pizza or frantically order out and wait all night, just make your own dough in about 15 minutes!
