This easy Stand Mixer Pizza Dough makes the best homemade pizza! The pizza crust comes out crispy and delicious.
If you love making pizza at home but, not a fan of kneading the dough let your KitchenAid mixer do the work for you!
Choosing to make this basic pizza dough recipe at home instead of opting to order take out pizza saves my family money.
We get 2-3 pizza crust from this pizza dough recipe depending on how big we choose to make each pizza.
Also, when we make our pizza dough at home, we know the ingredients used.
Additionally, making pizza dough at home gives my family another excuse to spend more time together in the kitchen.
My little boy loves helping me make the pizza dough. He usually adds all the ingredients into the mixer.
Then I use the bread hook to knead the dough. Once the balls form and we roll out the pizza dough, we discuss which toppings will go on top of the pizzas.
Sometimes we’ll use pizza sauce, cheese, and a little oregano for a more budget-friendly dinner.
We might even make a side salad to go with the pizza. My son prefers cheese pizza anyways.
Honestly, I don’t care if we top our pizza with a ton of meat or only use cheese as long as my crust is excellent and tasty!
What pizza toppings are your favorite?
How to do you make Stand Mixer Pizza Dough?
First of all, you will need a stand mixer. Any brand stand mixer will do; it just depends on which stand mixer you prefer to use.
I have a KitchenAid but, Hamilton Beach, Cuisinart, and Sunbeam are all popular stander mixer brands.
Second, stir together the sugar and water in the mixer bowl. Sprinkle the yeast on top and set aside until foam forms on top, usually it takes about 10 minutes.
Third, don’t forget to preheat the oven to 400 degrees and lined a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Fourth, stir olive oil into the bowl with the yeast. Next, add 3 cups of flour and salt to the mixing bowl.
Fifth, using your bread hook on your stand mixer, blend the dough on low speed until combined. If the dough is too sticky, add additional flour, mixing between each addition.
Finally, turn mixer speed to medium and knead with dough hook until the dough hook forms a ball.
Sixth, remove the dough from the mixing bowl and roll dough on a lightly floured surface into 2-3 balls.
Next, roll each portion of dough out into a circle.
Last, transfer dough to a baking sheet with parchment paper and bake for 5 minutes.
Next, add desired toppings and place back into the oven and bake an additional 5 to 8 minutes depending on how thick you make the pizzas.
Carefully remove the pizza from the oven wearing oven mitts. Use a pizza cutter, and cut the pizza into slices. Enjoy!!
Doesn’t the pizza crust look crispy and delicious? Does your family prefer cheese pizza or pepperoni pizza?
Can you freeze homemade Pizza Dough?
Yes, the pizza dough recipe is perfect to freeze. Wrap each individual pizza ball with cling wrap or parchment paper and place in separate Ziploc bags.
Thaw the dough the morning before you want pizza for lunch or dinner, then roll dough out and bake.
Don’t forget to serve dessert with your pizza. No movie night or pizza party is complete without dessert.

Susie says
This pizza crust is very good! We didn’t cook it before we put toppings on and we baked in a charcoal round weber grill with a seperately purchased pizza attachment stone kit. Very delicious!!
Kim Seghers says
Susie. Oh wow! That sounds delicious. I need a pizza attachment kit to try that on my brothers weber grill! Glad it came out tasting delicious!! Thanks for the feedback.
Cathy Sams says
I have a question about sprinkling the yeast on the top of the mixture. Does this mean not to stir it?
Kim Seghers says
Hello Cathy, You stir together the sugar and water in the mixer bowl, then sprinkle the yeast on top. Don’t stir yet set it a side for 10 minutes or until foam forms on top. Once the yeast foams you’ll do the other steps.
Hope that answer your question. Let me know if you have any more questions. Thank you for using my recipe! Kim
Lizzie says
Made this tonight. It was easier than I thought, and delicious. Never buying ready made crusts again. Thanks!
Kim Seghers says
Hi Lizzie! Thank you so much for letting me know you like this pizza crust recipe. You made my day! Have a great weekend, Kim
Amanda says
The dough was perfect although I had to add 1/4 cup additional flour for a total of 4 cups. We seasoned our crust with a mixture of olive oil, salt, parmesan cheese, and garlic powder that we just brushed on. It was beyond delicious. My kiddo and niece had a great time helping. They made pepperoni pizzas with cheese and I made pesto pizza with fresh basil, tomatoes and sliced mozzarella. Thank you so much.
Kim Seghers says
So glad you like the recipe Amanda! Thank you so much for the great feedback. Also, I love that you seasoned the crust, sounds yummy. I’ll have to try that next time! So glad your kiddo and niece enjoyed making the pizzas. I bet your pizzas did turn out delicious! Have a great night! Kim

I finally have a stand mixer. I tried your dough and it was great! I forgot to bake it first before adding the toppings. It worked out fine with more time.

Kim Seghers says
Hi B! I’m so glad you liked the pizza dough recipe. We also like our pizza with lots of toppings but, sometimes just a cheese pizza with fresh herbs is good for a meatless dinner. Thanks for taking the time to leave a comment. Enjoy your weekend, Kim
Jenne Kopalek says
We love to use our stand mixer for pizza dough. My husband makes it and I use my homemade sauce on it. Have you tried a pizza stone? Those have the best result for cooking thin high temp dough. MMMM!
Kim Seghers says
Hi Jenne! Yes we love homemade pizza dough and sauce too. Unfortunately my pizza stone broke in half in the oven one day and I haven’t replaced it yet! Thanks for stopping over, KIm
