What tricks make this a fast dinner, you ask?

Either buy premade, frozen dough from the grocery store, or, make your own, with yeast made specifically for pizzas, there is no need to let the dough rise! What is the difference with pizza yeast?

Use a mixer with a dough hook, or a bread maker to make the dough within 10 minutes, hands free.

When you make bacon, always make extra and freeze it for later use. If you have an air fryer, you can actually make it fresh in under 10 minutes.

Use premade sauce, either homemade or store bought.

Recipe makes enough for 4 9" pies, except where noted.

Pizza crust can be cooked in the oven, in a pizza oven or directly on the grill, on a pizza stone or a grill mat.

Leftovers last 3-4 days.

Uncooked dough can be frozen, up to 4 months.

Tips for yeast dough:

You can "bloom" yeast in water or milk and sugar to see if it is still active. Liquid should be very warm. Some yeasts require no blooming.

Always check package of yeast for recommended temperature of liquid, different types and brands bloom best at different temps.

Don't rush the rising process. Dough should be doubled in the pan.

Rise dough in a warm spot, covered with a clean kitchen towel. I usually turn the oven on low and place the rising dough near the exhaust of the oven. Not directly under the exhaust, but on top of the stove.

When using pizza yeast no rising is necessary. 

When using Rapid Rise Yeast only a rest is required.
