Pizza Dough

Method

Pizza Dough Preparation

  1. 1

    Activate Yeast

    In a small bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and active dry yeast. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until frothy.

  2. 2

    Mix Dough

    In a large mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour and salt. Add the yeast mixture and olive oil. Mix until a dough forms.

  3. 3

    Knead Dough

    Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes, until smooth and elastic.

  4. 4

    First Rise

    Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.

Assembling the Pizza

  1. 5

    Preheat Oven

    Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). If you have a pizza stone, place it in the oven to heat.

  2. 6

    Roll Out Dough

    Once the dough has risen, punch it down and transfer it to a floured surface. Roll it out into your desired shape and thickness.

  3. 7

    Add Artichoke Dip

    Spread the artichoke dip evenly over the rolled-out pizza dough as the base layer.

  4. 8

    Layer Toppings

    Evenly distribute roasted red peppers, diced tomatoes, sliced red onions, and sliced Kalamata olives over the artichoke dip.

  5. 9

    Add Cheeses

    Sprinkle crumbled feta cheese, shredded mozzarella, and provolone cheese over the top of the pizza.

  6. 10

    Bake Pizza

    Carefully transfer the assembled pizza onto the preheated pizza stone or a baking sheet. Bake for about 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly.

  7. 11

    Cool and Serve

    Remove the pizza from the oven, let it cool for a couple of minutes, slice, and serve hot.
