Costco Pizza Dough Recipe

Prep Time 15 minutes
Cook Time 15 minutes
Total Time 30 minutes
Servings: 8 (4 slices per pizza, 2 pizzas)
Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 3 cups (360g) bread flour
  • 2¼ tsp (1 packet) instant yeast
  • 1 tsp sugar
  • 1½ tsp salt
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 cup (240ml) warm water
  • 1 tbsp cornmeal

Method
 

  1. Combine the bread flour, instant yeast, sugar, and salt in a large bowl. Add the warm water and olive oil and mix until a shaggy dough forms with no dry flour remaining, about 2 minutes.
  2. Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for 8 to 10 minutes by hand (or 6 minutes in a stand mixer on medium) until smooth and springy.
  3. Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover, and let it rise at room temperature for 1 to 1½ hours until doubled.
  4. Heat the oven to 475°F (245°C). Punch down the dough, divide it into 2 portions, and press each out onto a cornmeal-dusted pan into a 12-inch round or sheet-pan rectangle.
  5. Add sauce, cheese, and toppings, then bake on the lowest rack for 12 to 15 minutes until the edges are deep golden and the cheese is bubbling. Transfer to a cutting board, slice, and serve.

Notes

This dough is very forgiving if you let it rise slowly in the fridge overnight — the flavor improves noticeably and it's easier to stretch cold dough that has relaxed for 30 minutes on the counter. If you're making both pizzas at once and only have one oven rack that fits a pan, bake them one at a time so the heat doesn't drop too much when you open the door.
