Pizza Dough Recipe Needed
Hi, I'm fairly new to the board. This is my second message to the board. BTW, love this site. My question is: I would like a good pizza dough recipe that would fit in a half sheet baking pan. I know there's a lot of recipes on the board for Pizza Dough, but am not sure if they are suitable for such a half sheet pan. Thannks!

Floyd's Pizza Primer has what has become my 'go-to' pizza dough. It is highly adaptable to different styles just by tweaking the hydration a little. Half a recipe would probably fill a half sheet with a thin crust.
Jim Lahey's new book called "My Bread" has a recipe for pizza that produces enough dough for two 13x18 inch rimmed baking sheets. You can make all of it and use just what you need and freeze the rest for up to one month. Or just make what you need. page 117, and good pictures about the process too.
I've made this so many times I've got it memorized. It helps that everything is either a 1 or a 3:
3 c. flour
1 c. warm water
3 T. olive oil
1 t. salt
1 t. instant yeast
Combine, knead, rise, shape, top, bake.
Easy to double, quadruple, refrigerate, freeze, make substitutions, etc.
Thanks so much for the replies. I will look at the pizza dough primer and also save the recipe posted. You guys are best and so helpful.
Although I do kind of wonder why you didn't just google "pizza dough recipe"... ;P
Hi, I didn't google Pizza Dough Recipe because I thought that I would get good information here. Hope that's ok.
