Everyone needs an easy go-to basic pizza dough recipe. This one is so simple that you will never want to buy store-bought dough again. All of the ingredients are common items found in most people’s pantries. I make this recipe every Saturday night and top it with any ingredients that I am craving.

Notes
This dough recipe freezes well so you can make one pizza now and freeze one for later.
When using this dough to make pizza I preheat the oven to 450° F and bake with desired toppings for 15 – 20 minutes.
