The best, easy, thin and crispy crust rustic Italian pizza dough recipe you will ever make.
A quick, authentic, thin and crispy, Neopolitan style homemade Italian pizza dough recipe that is also perfect for freezing!
With a name like Florentina you would probably be willing to bet that I live La Bella Vita Under The Tuscan Sun and I can toss a pizza like no-body’s business. The truth is I do live La Bella Vita but under the California Sun, and I can’t toss a pizza for the life of me.
Tough you can make this Italian pizza dough recipe by hand, it is way easier to use a mixer. No tossing required! Honestly this is the reason why I got a Kitchen Aid mixer, and a pizza stone,so we can make the best homemade pizza ever.
After constantly trying new recipes and formulas, and after having gone to Italy in the search of the perfect rustic authentic Italian pizza dough, I am even more confident that this is the best recipe out there.
What makes this the best Italian pizza dough recipe ever:
- Quick and Easy to make by hand, food processor or kitchenAid mixer!
- Made with active dry yeast, (<–amazon), flour and COLD water (no proofing required)
- Thin and crispy crust yet a little chewy
- Make ahead and refrigerate for tomorrow, freeze it for later or use right away.
- Perfect for strombolli, calzone, focaccia, bread sticks and even for the outdoor pizza oven.
I go with simple toppings at Casa Florentina: a light but thick homemade arrabiata sauce, ricotta meatballs, some whole milk mozzarella cheese, caramelized onions, heirloom tomatoes and fresh basil.
