The Dough That Changed Our Family Pizza Nights

A few weeks ago, I started experimenting with a simple homemade dough recipe. I didn’t expect much—just another kitchen project to try on the weekend. But now, my freezer is stocked full of dough balls, my kids request pizza night twice a week, and my husband calls me the “neighborhood baker.”

It’s funny how one recipe can change the rhythm of a home. For us, it’s brought more nights around the table, laughter, and even a few friendly requests from neighbors who’ve caught a whiff of fresh pizza baking.

If you’re ready to start your own tradition, here’s the dough that’s been making all the difference.

Ingredients

4 cups all-purpose flour

1 packet (2 ¼ tsp) active dry yeast

1 ½ cups warm water (110°F)

2 tbsp olive oil

1 tsp sugar

2 tsp salt
