    Quick and homemade pizza is just a few simple steps away for a weeknight meal. This easy homemade pizza dough topped with all your favorite taco toppings makes the perfect Taco Pizza.

    For this Taco Pizza recipe, I used homemade pizza dough drizzled with oil, minced garlic, baked in the oven to a golden brown. Then topped with sour cream, seasoned taco meat, tomatoes, shredded lettuce, and cheese. Add slices of avocado, sliced olives, and roasted red peppers if you like. Or any other taco topping you prefer. You’ll have homemade pizza in less than 30 minutes! And homemade pizza is so much better than any take out! What type of homemade pizza do you love?

    Nothing tastes better than homemade pizza, Glazed Donuts, or Apple Fritters. My mom had her own homemade baking business when we were little kids. And so much of that handcrafted, home-baked goodness stuck with me.

    When you bake it yourself it means so much more. The effort put into mixing, measuring and pouring – brings such sweet pleasures of joy and makes it worth all the work. And with Fleischmann’s 150 years of experience, you can  proudly bake quality, yeast recipes you’re excited to share. Because sharing with friends, family, and neighbors what you’ve baked yourself expresses much more than any words. For some family favorite homemade meals try French Meat Pie, Boeuf Bourguignon, and Beef Tips with Mushrooms.

    Family pizza night is a breeze with 30-minute homemade pizza crust. No fancy equipment needed for this pizza dough recipe! Simply mix in a bowl with a wooden spoon and knead by hand. Top your pizza dough with marinara sauce, shredded cheese, and any toppings you prefer.

    Easy Pizza Dough Recipe

    Combine 1 cup flour, undissolved yeast, sugar and salt in a large bowl. Add very warm water and oil; mix until well blended, about 1 minute. Gradually add enough remaining flour to make a soft dough. Dough should form a ball and will be slightly sticky.

    Knead** on a floured surface, adding additional flour if necessary, until smooth and elastic, about 4 minutes. (If using RapidRise Yeast, let dough rest at this point for 10 minutes.)

    Pat dough with floured hands to fill greased pizza pan or baking sheet. OR roll dough on a floured counter to 12-inch circle; place in greased pizza pan or baking sheet. Form a rim by pinching the edge of the dough.

    **To knead the dough, add just enough flour to the dough and your hands to keep the dough from sticking. Flatten dough and fold it toward you. Using the heels of your hands, push the dough away with a rolling motion. Rotate dough a quarter turn and repeat the “fold, push and turn” steps. Keep kneading dough until it is smooth and elastic. Use a little more flour if dough becomes too sticky, always working the flour into the ball of dough.
