The basic pizza dough recipe is a tried-and-true dough for guaranteed success.
It’s difficult for me to calculate the exact weight of all the ingredients for pizza, but I made an effort and weighed everything.
Generally, I don’t weigh the ingredients for a really good pizza, but I do it all by eye and it always turns out great.
I usually make my pizza quite thin, but of course, you can adjust according to your taste.
So, I’ve weighed all the ingredients just for you, so try my dough at least once, I look forward to your comments to know how it turned out for you… happy baking!

Ingredients for the Basic Pizza Dough Recipe

- 1 oz Fresh yeast
- 7 cups All-purpose flour
- 4 cups Manitoba flour
- 3 tsps Salt
- 1/4 cup Sunflower oil
Preparation of the Basic Pizza Dough Recipe
I have to say this is a recipe I make very much by eye, and besides turning out very good, it always comes out the same.
Take a large bowl and put in the warm water, yeast, some of the all-purpose flour, and begin to mix; gradually add the rest, as I said I do it very much by eye, so if more flour is needed, feel free to add it.
Add the salt and towards the end the sunflower oil, continuing to add the flour and mix well.
Make sure it forms a compact dough, neither sticky nor hard.
As soon as you see you can handle it, place it on a floured work surface and knead it just enough to make it compact.
Place it back in the bowl and let it rise covered with plastic wrap or a cloth for 2 hours.
After that time, take the dough, work it to deflate it, form all medium-large balls (each should be about 4-5 oz), place them on a floured surface and let them rise again for at least 1 hour.
After that time, take a ball at a time and shape it into a pizza with a rolling pin or by hand, and proceed with the topping.
The pizza should always be cooked at the highest oven temperature.
