If the batter is thin and runny like pancake batter, knead in a little more flour to get a sticky dough. If you can touch the batter with your finger and not stick to it, that's too dry, so knead in a little water.","Set the mixing bowl so it is sitting in warm water, or place on top of a warm oven. Let rise for 20–30 minutes. Don't worry if it only rises 10% or 20%—it'll still work.","Grease a baking sheet with some oil, then sprinkle cornmeal on the oil. Use you fingers to press the dough out until it is about ¼ inch thick all over, with the edges ½ inch thick. Sprinkle flour on top of the dough so it doesn't stick to your hands.","Top dough with pizza toppings as desired—see pizza article.","Bake at 425°F for about 15–20 minutes. Rotate every 5 minutes and move to upper or lower shelves as necessary. After 10 minutes slide a large knife under the crust. If it is dark brown, move it to a higher shelf so it doesn't burn while the top finishes cooking. If it is white or light tan, move to lower shelf so you get a crispy crust before the cheese starts turning brown on top."],"categories":["Dough recipes","Recipes for pizza","Baked recipes","Recipes for pizza dough","Recipes using granulated sugar","Recipes using cornmeal","Recipes using all-purpose flour"],"prep_time_minutes":null,"cook_time_minutes":null,"total_time_minutes":null,"servings":null,"yield_text":"Enough for 1 pizza","difficulty":"easy","source_name":"wikibooks","source_url":"https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Cookbook:Pizza_Dough","source_ref":"4517840","authors_url":"https://en.wikibooks.org/w/index.php?title=Cookbook:Pizza_Dough&action=history","license":"CC BY-SA 4.0","license_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/","extraction_confidence":null,"content_hash":"b6cf7596457f0de1605ff72a3e2ea7e2c59e19d786be2d7475702a690f9da587","created_at":"2026-08-02T14:43:14Z","updated_at":"2026-08-02T17:11:31Z","notice":null,"url":"https://recipecontextprotocol.com/recipes/pizza-dough"}
