Whether you like savory pizzas or sweet pizzas, my basic pizza dough recipe (which I’m sharing below) is the perfect base for countless baking creations. I’ve created my very own Peach Dessert Pizza.
Watch this video to see how the basic pizza dough comes together!
Martha Stewart’s Quick Basic Dough Recipe is by far the most user-friendly dough recipe I’ve come across. I’ve modified the recipe slightly at the kneading stage. My dough is typically pretty sticky after the first proof, so it’s helpful to add an additional 1 cup to 2 cups of flour! The basic pizza dough recipe can be stored in the refrigerator for several days or frozen up to three months, so don’t feel pressured to use it all at once!
Basic Pizza Dough
Ingredients
- 2 envelopes (1/4 ounce each) active dry yeast (not rapid-rise)
- 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for bowl and brushing
- 4 cups unbleached all-purpose flour, plus an additional 1-2 cups for kneading
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 2 tablespoons salt
Directions
- Pour 1 1/2 cups warm water into a large bowl. Sprinkle with yeast and let stand until foamy, about 5 minutes.
- Whisk sugar, oil, and salt into yeast mixture. Add flour and stir until a sticky dough forms.
- Transfer dough to an oiled bowl and brush top with oil. Cover bowl with plastic wrap (we prefer to cover with our reusable silicone lid that automatically forms an airtight seal on any bowl) and set aside in a warm, draft-free place until dough has doubled in bulk, about 1 hour.
- Turn out onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead 1 to 2 cups of flour into the dough.
- Dough can be stored in an oiled bowl covered with plastic in refrigerator up to 2 hours.
- Turn out dough on a floured surface and roll dough.
Peach Dessert Pizza
Ingredients
- 1/4 of pizza dough recipe (from above)
- 2 tbsp cinnamon
- 2 tbsp sugar
- 1/4 cup plain greek yogurt
- 3 ripe peaches
Directions
- Place pizza stone in the oven. Pre-heat oven to 400 degrees
- Turn out dough onto a lightly floured surface and roll until 1/4 inch flat
- Combine cinnamon and sugar in bowl
- Place pizza dough on hot pizza stone and cover dough with sugar mixture
- Bake pizza for 15 minutes or until crust is golden brown
- Slice peaches and place on edges of crust
- Turn off oven and return pizza to warm oven for 5 minutes (this softens the peaches)
- Serve and top with plain greek yogurt
Use the basic pizza dough as a base for these other recipes!

Hi, I'm Tyler!
I'm a NYC teacher, writer, and dad of 3 girls. My wife and I live with our daughters in a
750-square-foot apartment in New York City. I'm on a journey to tidy up my life. I share practical, routine-driven approaches to tidying, because I believe the process of tidying can make space for what matters.

About me
Hi, my name is Tyler Moore. My wife and I live with our three young daughters in a 700- square-foot apartment in New York City. I began my tidying journey when an early-30’s crisis invited me to reflect upon, challenge, and change my patterns of daily living. I quit my job as a school administrator, returned to teaching, and started Tidy Dad to help others tidy, simplify, and find joy in their lives. I firmly believe the tidying process can transform your life. I’d love for you to join me in exploring ways that tidying can make room for what’s important in life.
welcome to the tribe!
