I didn’t see ANY sugar mentioned, usually yeast and sugar are used together. Did you use some? I haven’t finished the 24 hour wait, but without sugar, I worry it won’t double

I was not at all impressed with this recipe. Pizza is supposed to have a crispy crust with a chewy middle. I followed the recipe exactly and the crust was very soft and bread-like. I even baked it longer than the recipe suggested and it still didn’t crisp up despite having a lot of olive oil on the pan and crust. Another disappointing PW recipe.

so good and easy and it really does taste better if you leave it in the fridge 4 days.

This recipe is so easy and turns out great every time. It is easy to roll out the longer it rises/sits in the frig. I sometimes use 1/2 teaspoon of garlic salt and 1/2 teaspoon of regular salt instead of the 1 teaspoon of kosher salt, just for added flavor.

Very good pizza crust. I do add about a teaspoon of honey to the warm water/yeast mixture to help get it activated better and it seems to work better that way. Thanks for sharing!

This is the first time I have ever made home made pizza and I love it! It was so easy and my son had fun helping me stretch the dough into the pan and then assembling the pizza toppings. It has a nice crunch but is still a little soft in the middle. We will be making pizza again with this recipe!!!

BEST pizza dough ever. I have tried many recipes for pizza dough, but this one always turns out perfect. I have made it whole wheat, let it sit for 2 hours, let it sit for 2 days, made calzones with it and made pizza bites with it. It’s the only recipe for pizza dough I use now.

BEST pizza dough. We love pizza in our family and make it once a week. I have tried many recipes, but this is by far the winner. I have made it whole wheat, let it sit for 2 hours, let it sit for 2 days. Any which way I make it, it turns out perfect. I have also used it for calzones and pizza bites. It’s the only recipe for pizza dough I use now.
