Ingredients Needed For Dominos Pizza Dough
- All-purpose flour for a soft, chewy pizza crust
- Warm water to activate the yeast and mix dough
- Active dry yeast to make the dough rise
- Granulated sugar to feed the yeast and add sweetness
- Olive oil for moisture and a tender texture
- Salt to enhance flavor in the pizza dough
How To Make Domino’s Pizza Dough Copycat Recipe
Step One: In a small bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and active dry yeast. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until foamy.
Step Two: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and salt. Add the yeast mixture and olive oil to the flour mixture. Stir until a dough forms.
Step Three: Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a clean towel, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 to 1.5 hours, or until doubled in size.
Step Four: Punch down the dough and divide it as needed for your pizzas. Shape and stretch the dough to your desired size and thickness.
Dominos Pizza Dough Copycat Recipe Tips
- Use warm water (not hot) to properly activate the yeast.
- Knead the dough thoroughly for a smooth, elastic texture.
- Let the dough rise in a warm, draft-free spot for best results.
- For extra flavor, allow the dough to rest overnight in the fridge.
- Use olive oil on your hands and surface to prevent sticking.
- Don’t overload with toppings to keep crust crispy and cooked through.
Storing Instructions
Store leftover dough tightly wrapped in plastic wrap or in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. For longer storage, freeze the dough in a freezer-safe bag for up to 3 months. When ready to use, thaw overnight in the refrigerator and let come to room temperature before shaping.
Dominos Pizza Dough Copycat Recipe Faqs
Can I make the dough ahead of time? Yes! You can prepare the dough in advance and refrigerate it for up to 3 days or freeze it for up to 3 months.
How do I know when the yeast is active? When the yeast mixture becomes foamy and bubbly after sitting in warm water with sugar, it’s active and ready to use.
Can I use whole wheat flour instead of all-purpose flour? You can substitute whole wheat flour, but the texture will be denser and less chewy than traditional dough.
What if my dough is too sticky? Add a little more flour, a tablespoon at a time, while kneading until the dough is manageable but still soft.
Can I use instant yeast instead of active dry yeast? Yes, but adjust the rising time as instant yeast works faster than active dry yeast.
How long should I bake the pizza dough? Bake at 475°F (245°C) for 12-15 minutes or until the crust is golden and toppings are cooked.
