Pizza night, anyone? If you've never tried baking your own pizza dough at home, you're in for a treat! All you need are a few pantry staples, including Fleischmann's® RapidRise® Yeast, your favorite toppings, and you're ready to go.

I remember when I first started baking with yeast. It was a little intimidating at first but a whole lot of fun! After I made my first batch of homemade bagels, I couldn't stop! I wanted to bake everything! I made our first homemade vegan pizza for us about 3 years ago, and now we make it for every pizza night, birthday celebration, and holiday.

Tips for Homemade Pizza

Follow the instructions on the package of Fleischmann's® RapidRise® Yeast.
The water should be lukewarm and not hot, otherwise it will kill the yeast.
Use a thermometer to check the temperature of the water – it should be heated to 120˚F-130˚F.
If you don’t have a thermometer, water should feel very warm to the touch.
Make sure that the yeast isn’t expired! That’s often the reason of “not rising”.
To knead dough, add just enough flour to the dough and your hands to keep them from sticking. Flatten the dough and fold it towards you, using the palms of your hands, push the dough away with a rolling motion. Rotate dough a quarter turn and repeat the steps until it’s smooth and elastic.
If the dough becomes too sticky, add a little more flour!
