This recipe is adapted from one perfected at Greens restaurant in San Francisco. The crust is crunchy on the outside but also chewy. I think it's wonderful. I'm going on a pizza making journey and this is stop one. If you've never made your own pizza dough before, it's easy and fun. This recipe makes 2 12-inch crusts. More to come!

  1. In a large bowl, dissolve yeast and sugar in warm water and set aside for 5 minutes until foamy. With a large spoon, stir in the olive oil, cornmeal, flour and salt. Soon you'll have a workable dough.
  2. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 5 minutes. If you haven't kneaded before, essentially you fold the dough over and the push it down into the surface till it flattens a bit, then fold and repeat. Sprinkle flour on the surface as needed to keep the dough from sticking.
  3. When done, put the dough in a lightly oiled bowl and turn it once so the surface of the dough is covered with oil. Then cover the bowl with a dish towel or plastic wrap and let sit and rise in a warm place for 45 minutes. It should about double in size. Then punch the dough down (hit it in the middle repeatedly with your hand in a fist), fold it over tightly and form it into a ball. Then let it rise for another 30 minutes.
  4. The dough is now ready. It can keep overnight in the refrigerator and also freezes well. If you want to refrigerate or freeze, punch it down, fold it, and cover tightly with plastic wrap. Bring it back to room temperature before rolling it. When warm, form into two balls of equal size and roll out into two 12 inch pizza crusts.
  5. I made one pizza with marinara, oregano, mushrooms, olives, mozzarella and parmesan cheese . The other I made with a basil pesto, mushrooms, mozzarella an parmesan. Both were outstanding, with the pesto being my slight favorite! I baked them for about 12 minutes at 500 F,

    I make my own dough all the time, yours is similar, once you make homemade dough there's no turning back...your pizza looks fantastic!
    • Donna Thiemann
      The recipe looks good John. I have been making my own pizza for more than a year now and there is no turning back. I like to make it in the mixer and then put it in zip lock bags and let it rise in the fridge. Then I have dough ready to go for a fast meal. I make the dough on the weekend and we have dough for the week. This one looks so good!
      • Denise Fletcher
        Thank looks very good John. I will try this recipe the next time I make pizza - I do love to make my own crust. Thanks for a great post!
        • Daniel Trudeau
          How could any of the reviewers attempt the recipe since there is no unit of measure given for the water, just 1 1/3.......what? John, I hope reviews on this site are made by people who make the recipes themselves, not just those who say, "Gee, the picture looks great...5 hearts!" That system makes any of the ratings here seem suspicious.

            Ummmmmm one and one third cup of water is very clear to understand. I'm worried that there is a chef out there that doesn't understand a 1 1/3 cup measurement.

                    I'm always looking for a good pizza dough recipe. I usually give up and buy it at the local Top Foods. I'll give this one a try. It looks perfect!

                        I liked the cornmeal addition. I bake gluten-free, and next time I make my pizza dough I am going to mix it up a little and try a blending of our recipes. Thanks for the friend add. I am looking forward to trying some of your recipes (altering to gluten-free of course).

                              John, I have to tell you that I tried this recipe for pizza dough the other night, and OMG was it ever good! My husband and I don't care for thick, doughy pizza crusts, so this was just perfect.
                              My husband is not a big eater, but he ate this pizza until he was nearly sick lol, then he polished off the rest of it for breakfast! Wow, you have a winner here, John. Thankyou for posting!

                                Dear John,
                                I would love to feature this one on my blog called "Cooking Up A Storm All Over The World!"

                                Do I have permission to re-post it?

                                  This was great! We can no longer buy pizza from a store, because my husband is allergic to meat...and there is just too much "meat contamination" even if we get a veggie pizza....so this is a great substitute! To add a little more flavor I melted some butter and pressed some garlic and brushed it onto the crust....it was great!

                                  Awesome is right! This was really easy to make and is absolutely delicious. I added 2t Italian seasonings with the flour mixture and baked for 14 minutes. Top with caramelized onions, slliced black olives and mushrooms for a savory treat.

                                    So glad you enjoyed it Ilene. Thanks for the detailed and useful review! I've had caramelized onions with mushrooms, but not with black olives too. Will have to give that combination a try!

                                      Thanks Patricia. I'm glad it looks good to you, and really appreciate you taking the time to add a review. The norm on CookEatShare is to rate recipes that you have tried...and just comment on (but not rate) recipes you haven't tried. That way people can really trust the ratings (e.g. it tastes good and doesn't just look good). Please don't delete this rating...but in the future it would be great if you would follow this norm. Great to have you a part of CookEatShare! Please keep the comments and reviews coming!

                                              Hi John:
                                              Each time I see your pizza dough on all the time favorites page I say I need to make it. This weekend I decided to make a couple of different breads (Foccacia & Italian Semolina Sunbursts) while my wife was out town; so it seemed appropriate to make your dough at the same time. I elected to freeze the dough for later use but liked the results of the proofed dough. I like the use of conrmeal--a different twist. The dough uses a lot of yeast hence a very fast rise. It is a very moist dough as well. I will let you know the final results after thawing and actually making pizza down the road. Thanks for sharing the recipe.

                                                I think your oven must run very hot dzoz, or perhaps you put it in before the preheating was complete and you placed it near the heating element. Many home cooks cook pizza between 500-550, and most wood burning ovens heat at about 800F. None are capable of blackening a pizza in 7min.

                                                  I have made this dough with almost the exact same recipe. Only difference is I have used highly active yeast and didn't need to let the dough rise... just knead, shape, add toppings and bake! Super easy!

I'm doing a post about it later tonight. It yielded 3 large crusts. One I used on the day after I made the dough, the other two I froze and used later. Great texture! Thanks so much,

Both turned out great. I baked them on a pizza stone for 12 minutes. The crust was crunchy on the outside and chewy internally as you just. A nice formula. Thanks for sharing!

I make my own dough and different breads all the time as I like to know what exactly goes into it. I use the bread machine on the dough recipe, little easier on the wrists and hands. Nothing like the smell of dough to me and of course the end results. Going to give this a try. I love to pressure cook a smoked pork hock till meat falls off the bone. Use a fresh pineapple, fresh mozzerella, tomato paste, parmesean, black olives VOILA ham & pineapple deluxe.

It is a common staple food, and is ground to fine, medium, and coarse consistencies. In the United States, the finely ground cornmeal is also referred to as cornflour. However, the word cornflour denotes cornstarch in recipes from the United Kingdom.

I will try your recipe with this technique. Love homemade pizza!

I don't mind the tossing and punching, but I can imagine times when it would be very convenient to have a lower effort alternative. Hope to see more of your recipes.

                                                                                          You're a very smart man. Thanks for the invitation, I'm happy to be in your circle of friends. I've looked at some of your recipes and they look great. I want to share with you my pizza dough, which takes very little effort to prepare and gives you a thin crust if you so desire. I thought it would be a great addition to your repertoire. http://isicilian.boonrepublic.com/2009/06/14/pizza-dough/
