What You Need

5 cups flour, divided

1 cup Kraft 100% Parmesan Grated Cheese

1 tsp. quick-rise instant yeast

1/2 tsp. salt

2 cups cold water

1/4 cup olive oil

Make It

MIX 4 cups flour, Parmesan, yeast and salt in large bowl. Add water and oil; stir until mixture forms soft dough. Knead on lightly floured surface 5 min. or until smooth and elastic, gradually adding remaining flour.

CUT dough into 4 pieces. (Each piece is enough for a 12-inch pizza.) Spray each piece with cooking spray. If using immediately, cover desired number of dough pieces loosely with plastic wrap; let stand 15 min.

PLACE each remaining dough piece in separate resealable freezer-weight plastic bag that has been sprayed with cooking spray. Seal bags; refrigerate up to 2 days or freeze up to 3 months.

WOW WOW Absolutely the best & easiest pizza dough ever ... to make ... to form ... to eat I made it for a luncheon yesterday for 20 crafter church ladies and not a crumb was left on any of he plates. The chicken, maple BBQ sauce, red onion, cheddar was their favourite. A definite keeper

I have made this a few times and think it is wonderful--like the fact that I can make and freeze dough for furture use--did not have olive oil so used veg oil and it did not hurt it--in my humble opinion lol--will use this all the time now and enjoy--had no problem with crust being soggy after it was cooked--froze some of leftovers and reheated in mic and ordinary oven--was still grrrrreat!!!!

This is possibly the BEST and easiest pizza dough ever! I have been cooking 40 years and will never buy nor make any other pizza dough again! It is versatile and when cut into two instead of four pieces, makes a large pizza! Wonderful!!!!

After having it in the oven for over 25 minutes, the crust was still soggy on the bottom and really brown on the edges. Very oily and soggy crust. Super disappointed.

Great recipe! Easy to make, and best of all, you have extra for later! Word of warning though, the 450F for 17-18 mins was a bit long, and my pizza was overdone, I would decrease the time and watch it!!
