Sheet Pan Pizza
Even if you've never made pizza dough before, you can make a perfectly crispy pizza with this step-by-step recipe.
Ingredients
Pizza Dough:
- 1+¼ cup warm-hot water 300ml
- 1 tsp sugar
- 1 tsp instant dry yeast
- ¾ tsp salt
- 2+⅔ cups flour as much as needed
- 3 tbsp olive oil
Toppings:
- tomato sauce
- sweetcorn
- pickled jalapeño
- white mushroom
- pepperoni
- shredded cheese
Instructions
Pizza Dough:
- Put warm-hot water in a bowl. The water should be hot enough to burn your finger when you put it in. After adding the instant yeast, add sugar to support the functioning of the yeast.
- Wait 5-10 minutes for the yeast to activate. If it starts to foam, it means the yeast is active. After adding the salt, add the flour little by little.
- The dough should reach a sticky consistency. Add the oil and knead until you get a homogeneous consistency.
- Fold the dough as if folding bread dough, leaving an air space between the dough. You can apply a thin layer of oil on it. Cover it with plastic wrap and place it in a warm place. (See notes for quick fermentation method)
- Let it sit for minimum 30 minutes (varies depending on air temperature). Your pizza dough should at least double in size.
Making Sheet Pan Pizza:
- Sprinkle some semolina and corn flour on the baking tray you will use.
- Oil your hands and do not knead the fermented dough again. Just portion it out and put it on the tray. (If you are going to make a thin crust, divide the dough into 2 as I did)
- Roll out the pizza dough with your fingers. You can also open it by pulling left and right with your hand.
- At this stage, I recommend you cover it with a damp cloth and let it ferment on a tray for about 10-15 minutes. (optional)
- You can put any sauce you want on it. I used the tomato sauce I made myself.
- Sprinkle some cheese. Put your favorite ingredients on it. Sprinkle with cheese again.
Baking:
- Place the pizza in the oven preheated to 480°F, first in the lowest compartment. Depending on the oven, cook for 5-10 minutes (until the base of the pizza is browned).
- Later place the pizza with a browned bottom in the top compartment of the oven. Wait until the cheddar cheese melts and turns golden.

Notes
- This recipe yields 2 trays of thin-crust pizza. If you want to make it thick, you can use the whole dough on one tray.
- A total of 21 slices came out of 2 trays in my case. And each slice is approximately 130 kcal.
