Ingredients

• 3 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 2.25 teaspoons Instant yeast
• 1.25 cups Warm water (110°F/45°C)
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
• 0.5 cups Grated Parmesan cheese
• 2 teaspoons Olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoons Garlic powder

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, salt, and instant yeast. Mix well to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.

Step 2

Gradually add the warm water to the dry mixture while stirring with a wooden spoon or dough hook attachment on a stand mixer. Continue mixing until a shaggy dough forms.

Step 3

Add the melted butter and grated Parmesan cheese to the dough and knead for about 8–10 minutes by hand on a floured surface, or 5–6 minutes with a stand mixer on medium speed, until the dough becomes smooth and elastic.

Step 4

Shape the dough into a ball and place it in a lightly oiled bowl. Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap and let it rise in a warm spot for 1–1.5 hours, or until the dough has doubled in size.

Step 5

Once risen, punch down the dough to release any air bubbles. On a floured surface, roll out the dough into your desired pizza shape and thickness.

Step 6

For extra flavor, lightly brush the crust with olive oil and sprinkle garlic powder around the edges before baking.

Step 7

Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) and place a pizza stone or baking sheet inside to heat up.

Step 8

Transfer the prepared pizza dough to a sheet of parchment paper and add your desired toppings.

Step 9

Carefully slide the pizza (with the parchment paper) onto the preheated pizza stone or baking sheet. Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly.

Step 10

Remove from the oven, let cool slightly, slice, and enjoy your Butter Parmesan Pizza Crust!
