Ree Drummond's Favorite Pizza Dough Is an Easy Foolproof Recipe
Ree Drummond has the easiest homemade pizza dough recipe you can make in a pinch or prep it in advance and refrigerate it for later. The Pioneer Woman star calls the dough recipe “foolproof.”
Ree Drummond’s easy foolproof pizza dough is made with just 4 ingredients
Drummond demonstrated how to make her easy pizza dough on an episode of The Pioneer Woman. She was entertaining friends she invited to the ranch for a “girls’ dinner.” Drummond’s fresh herb pizza was among the casual items on the menu.
She made a homemade pizza dough for the recipe, first sprinkling yeast in warm water and letting it sit for a few minutes. In a mixer, Drummond combined flour and salt and blended it at low speed. She drizzled in olive oil while the mixer was running, then drizzled in the yeast and water mixture.
“This is my favorite pizza dough in the entire universe,” she shared. “It is so delicious and so foolproof.”
Drummond added, “The great thing about this pizza dough is you can make it an hour before you need it or you can make it three days before you need it. It lasts for a really long time in the fridge.”
Once the dough came together, she put it in a bowl coated with olive oil, then covered it with plastic wrap and allowed the dough to rise for an hour.
Drummond made a simple and fresh pizza
Drummond used the homemade dough for her fresh herb pizza recipe. “It’s really simple but super delicious,” she said.
The Food Network host rolled out the dough and placed it on a sheet pan coated with olive oil. She drizzled olive oil over the dough and sprinkled it with salt and pepper. “This pizza doesn’t have a really heavy sauce like a lot of pizzas do,” Drummond explained.
She added thin slices of mozzarella on top of the dough and baked the pizza in a 500 degree Fahrenheit oven for 12 to 14 minutes.
Drummond tossed together arugula, basil leaves, parsley, olive oil, and balsamic vinegar in a bowl. Then she sprinkled the greens over the top of the pizza, added parmesan cheese, and cut it into slices.
The full recipe is available on the Food Network website.
