Rustic pizza dough is one of the easiest, tastiest homemade pizza dough recipes. It’s pretty forgiving, as it doesn’t have to look perfect (seriously, no one is peeking under the crust to see if their pizza dough is perfectly smooth). This homemade rustic pizza crust goes perfectly with our homemade pizza sauce with fresh tomatoes! Plus, rustic pizza dough made from scratch tastes a world better than store-bought. Remember that delicious smell of homemade bread? Yep, homemade pizza dough has the same delicious, intoxicating smell.

Ingredients

1 cup warm water
1 tbsp. olive oil
2 tsp. salt

01

Add flour to a large mixing bowl.
02

Add yeast, sugar, salt, olive oil and water and stir until combined.
03

04

Place dough ball into a lightly oiled bowl, and then cover with plastic wrap or clean cloth. Set in a warm place for about 30 minutes or until dough has doubled.
