    Ready for 10+ years worth of secrets and tips for making pizza at home with store bought dough?

    First, you have to know how to get premade dough to rise… my method will help the ready made pizza dough double in size at room temperature.

    Trader Joe's fresh premade pizza dough
    Example of store bought dough from Trader Joe’s. The one on the left was frozen, and has been thawed overnight in the fridge. It is rising on the counter. The premade dough on the right was not set on the counter to rise. Notice the difference for comparison.

    Shop at Whole Foods? Check out my BBQ chicken recipe on Whole Foods pizza dough.

    How to get pizza dough to rise

    Many people struggle with the very first step of making pizza at home with store bought dough. That’s because stretching store bought dough is difficult when it’s cold.

    Pizza dough needs at least 30 minutes and up to 3 hours to rise, outside of the fridge.

    homemade pizza with store bought dough

    Here’s an easy trick to allow the dough plenty of time to rise. Set it near a window or wrap it in a kitchen towel and set it on the counter. If you’re short on time, use a kitchen towel straight out of the dryer – a little heat will help.

    Here’s another trick. If you’re making pizza at home soon after buying ingredients at the store, let the pre-made dough sit by a sunny car window on the ride home. Growing up, that’s what my mom always did.

    See tips on choosing the best store bought pizza crust for pizza night.

    Once the pizza dough rises, it’s time to shape the dough.

    How to shape pizza dough

    Shaping rectangle pizza for a sheet pan is very, very easy once you get the hang of it.

    Watch the video with the recipe at the bottom of this page for step by step instructions.

    Or follow these step-by-step photo instructions to lean how to stretch pizza dough.

    homemade pizza dough step by step guide flouring butcher block and stretching dough

    Step 1-2.

    Lightly flour a large work space like a butcher block, cutting board, or clean counter.

    Press both sides of the fresh dough against the lightly floured surface.

    Step 3-4.

    First, work the outside of the pizza dough by pinching it with your fingers to make the crust.

    Next, working against a flat surface, move to the center of the dough and push the dough outward to make a larger base. As you expand the dough, pick up a light dusting of flour, which will help the size of the dough grow.

    Step 5.

    Once the dough has spread as far as possible against the cutting board, gently pick up the dough.

    With your hands under the dough, use your knuckles to stretch the dough in vertical and horizontal motions.

    Adding a little flour will help the dough expand.

    Step 6-8. 

    Work the dough until it is expands enough to cover your sheet pan.

    Go back and forth between pushing the dough and using your knuckles as needed.

    Add light dustings of flour as needed to help the dough retain the progress you’ve made. Don’t worry about the dough being a perfect shape. All pizzas are beautiful.

    At any time, patch holes as they appear by folding over the dough.

    Step 9. 

    Prepare a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper and a drizzle of olive oil.

    Step 10. 

    Gently transfer the pizza dough to the baking sheet.

    Push out the premade dough as far as it will go towards the edge of the baking sheet.

    Shaping round pizza is similar, but you will begin by forming the dough into a perfectly round ball. Follow the instructions above, but instead of pulling the dough in vertical and horizontal motions, you’ll want to stretch the dough in a circular motion. It’s easy to make a classic round pizza with this ventilated pizza pan.

    Don’t add toppings yet! First, par-bake the premade dough

    It’s super important to pre bake the pizza crust once before adding pizza toppings.

    Follow the recipe at the end of this post for details on how to to par-bake the pizza dough at 450 degrees in the middle rack of the oven.

    Homemade pizza made in the oven on a cutting board topped with fresh basil and mozzarella

    After the dough bakes “naked”, add the toppings and bake the pizza

    When making pizza at home, it’s crucial to using a really high temperature, once you add the toppings, to get restaurant quality pizza.

    step by step guide to adding pizza toppings to homemade pizza with red pizza sauce cheese and ham

    After par-baking the pizza dough, add the toppings and finish baking pizza in the oven at 500 degrees until the cheese melts. This final bake will take about 7-10 minutes.

    Where to buy premade store bought pizza dough

    Buy fresh premade pizza dough at a local bakery, Trader Joe’s or Whole Foods.

    Trader Joe’s also has a garlic & herb pizza dough that’s quite tasty. See my post on Trader Joe’s Pizza Dough Tips.

    How to store pizza dough in the fridge or freezer

    If you don’t plan to use store bought pizza dough for a few days or weeks, keep it fresh in the fridge or freezer.

    In the fridge, premade pizza dough will stay fresh for a few days.

    frozen trader dough pizza dough

    In the freezer, pizza dough can last a couple of months. When you’re ready to defrost pizza dough, move it to the fridge overnight. Then take it out in the morning to expand in time for dinner.

    My freezer is always stocked with pizza dough and frozen cheese. And my pantry is always stocked with pizza seasoning and pizza sauce. And, thanks to my husband, my fridge is always stocked with craft beer to go with the pizza.

    homemade pizza in the oven

    Pizza topping ideas

    Sauce – Classic red pizza sauce, BBQ sauce, Alfredo sauce, or a simple garlic and olive oil for a white pizza, as used in this pear and goat cheese pizza.

    Cheese – Traditional mozzarella is a popular melting cheese, as is fontina and cheddar. If you’re looking for a cheese with bold flavor, try bleu cheese, smoked gouda or goat cheese sprinkled on top of a melting cheese.

    Meats, fruit and veggies – If you’re looking for something outside of traditional toppings (pepperoni, ham, sous vide chicken, sausage, sous vide bacon,), get creative with seasonal fruits and vegetables.

    For fruits, try roasted cherry tomatoes, grilled pineapple, pears, cherries, and apples.

    For vegetables, try butternut squash, zucchini and caramelized red onions.  And don’t forget about fresh herbs for pizza! Add delicate herbs like basil after the pizza is done baking in the oven.

    Here’s a unique way to add flavor… make Smoked Traeger pizza – right on the pellet grill.

    The good ol’ beer & pizza pairing

    Not a pizza ingredient, per se…. but beer can be a great addition to pizza, even if you’re no longer in college. Looking for a beer + pizza pairing?

    My friend Sarah, another Portland blogger at Twenty Something and Tipsy has milkshake IPAs to share with you… She made her version of this homemade pizza recipe with store bought dough from Trader Joe’s.

    Her premade grocery store pizza is topped with sauteed mushrooms and vegan sausage. Sarah likes to dip her pizza in ranch dressing.

    My own big fat pizza fail…

    I’ve been making pizza at home in the oven or on the grill for over a decade. (whenever I say something has lasted a decade I feel suuuuuuper old!) One time a grill accidentally caught on fire, but that was a manageable fail. My brother saved the day with a fire extinguisher and now we have an almost-caught-the-house-on-fire story to laugh about.

    Another time, I left store bought pizza dough outside on a deck table to rise. Can you blame me? It sounded like a great idea to have the dough rise in the sun, mother nature’s original dough heater.

    Well, this turned out to be a horrible idea due to a hungry critter. When I glanced out the window to check the progress of my dough, I found a squirrel eating the dough through the bag.

    Long story short, don’t get rabies when making pizza at home with store bought dough. Let it rise inside.

    I’m so excited to spread the word about this easy to make at home pizza recipe! I’ve made so many friends with readers who have successfully made this pizza, I hope you’re next on the list!

    Tasty tips + notes for making homemade pizza

    • Avoid the struggle of stretching pizza dough by letting it rise in advance. 
    • Never add toppings to raw pizza dough. 
    • Cook the pizza twice. First, cook the premade dough “naked” without any toppings. On the second trip to the oven, add all the ingredients and cook the pizza until the cheese melts and the crust is golden brown.
    • Brush olive oil around the perimeter of the dough to create a golden crust.
    • Season the crust. Sprinkle the crust with parmesan and a light sprinkle of salt.
    • Add any fresh herbs, like basil, after the pizza is done baking (so the herbs don’t wilt)
    • Pizza is great for game day served with sous vide chicken wings with bleu cheese dressing

    One of my favorite pizzas is BBQ chicken pizza. Learn how to make chicken breast in under 20 minutes so you can add it to pizza, too. 

    The Perfect Pizza Setup

    Want to make restaurant style pizza at home? I’ve got you covered! Here are some of my top tips, tricks, secret ingredients and tools for a pizza night everyone will look forward to, again and again.

    1. NEVER do this… Contrary to what most people believe, when baking pizza on a sheet pan, never add toppings to raw pizza dough. Instead, follow my recipe for making homemade pizza with ready made dough, which will teach you how to par bake pizza dough first.
    2. Get help from secret ingredients…
      – This dough seasoning is the secret to real Italian-tasting homemade pizza dough.
      – Add pizza seasoning to store bought pizza sauce. This makes the pizza taste really fresh!
    3. Herbs are for after… In my weekly pizza making practice, I’ve found that fresh herbs, like basil, need to be added to pizza after the pizza is done baking (so the herbs don’t wilt).
    4. Buy fresh dough and get amazing results. Yup, fresh dough from grocery stores is one of my favorite short-cuts. Learn how to use fresh Trader Joe’s pizza dough and Whole Foods pizza dough with my tutorials.
    5. Frozen pizza can taste amazing, too!! Learn how to spruce it up with this recipe for pizza using frozen crust.
    6. Slice pizza pies like a chef with just a few swipes, using big ol’ pizza cutters.
    7. Want to grill pizza? Here are some pizza grilling tools to check out.
    8. Do you really need to cook pizza on the rack? Nope! I basically never do. Here are tools you see me using in my tutorials on cooking pizza in the oven…
      – Bake pizza on a rimmed baking pan set to get a beautiful golden brown crust.
      – Love crispy crust? Let the air flow with this dishwasher safe pizza pan.

    Ingredients

    • 1 bag pizza dough ( I use pre-made dough)
    • 16 oz pizza sauce
    • 2 tsp dried herbs pizza / pasta blend or oregano / parsley
    • 3 tbsp flour
    • 1 tbsp olive oil
    • 2 tbsp parmesan cheese optional, for the crust
    • 1 pinch Salt
    • 8 oz shredded mozzarella or fontina or cheddar
    • ⅔ cup toppings ham, chicken, pineapple, onions, etc.
    • 2 tbsp basil chopped

    Instructions

    • Let dough rise. Keeping the store bought dough in the bag, set it out on a counter for 30 minutes up a few hours. When you’re ready to make the pizza, preheat oven to 450 degrees F. 
    • Stretch the dough. Place raw pre-made dough dough on top of flour, coating each side. Begin stretching the dough by pinching the outside in a circular motion to spread it out. Then you can alternate between pinching the dough with your fingers, pressing it out on your work surface, and using your knuckles to pull the dough from underneath in an outward motion. Usually a few motions work best! When it’s large enough, transfer it to a sheet pan lined with parchment paper and a light drizzle of olive oil.
    • Bake the naked pizza dough in the oven at 450 for 7 minutes. During this time, prep toppings. 
    • Once dough is cooks for 7 minutes, take it out and preheat the oven to 500. Brush olive oil around the perimeter of the dough to create a golden crust. Add the sauce, any dried herbs, cheese and other toppings. Sprinkle the crust with parmesan and a light sprinkle of salt. Add pizza sauce, dried herbs, cheese and other toppings. 
    • Bake the pizza at 500 for 7-10 minutes, removing when the cheese has melted. Sprinkle chopped basil and allow the pizza to cool a few minutes before slicing and serving.

      The dough you purchase is NOT “pre-made” dough. Notice it says “Pizza Dough” on the package. “Pre” means “before,” so you’re telling people you buy dough that’s made before it’s made. Refer to the dough simply as, “dough.” We’re aware of the fact that the dough was purchased and not made from scratch at your home. Also, the oven can be in only two stages; Heated and not heated. So you “HEAT” the oven to 450, not, “pre-heat.” This has been said wrong for so long, we don’t realize it’s not proper. So again, you’re telling people to “heat before you heat the oven.” Telling people “heat pre-cooking” is proper. One other hint: get someone to proof your article. Many spelling and grammatical errors.5 stars

Also I totally don’t care that sometimes I write things incorrectly, and others notice it. No biggie. At least I get my recipes posted. If I was scouring over every word, you’d never see any recipe on here. And then who would help you cook a tasty pizza, hmm? ?? internet?? yup. enjoy your pizza nights!

        Dear Mr. Pot Calling the Kettle Black:

        You should make sure your post is completely devoid of spelling and grammar errors before you start in on someone else lol. Your post contains numerous grammatical errors.

        “Refer to the dough simply as, “dough.” This sentence contains one error. There should be no comma after the word “as.”

        “Also, the oven can be in only two stages; Heated and not heated.” This sentence contains three errors. A colon should be used after the word “stages” rather than a semicolon. The word “heated” should not be capitalized since the colon serves as the precursor to a list. The awkward “not heated” should be replaced with “unheated.”

        “So you “HEAT” the oven to 450, not, “pre-heat.” This sentence contains two errors. There should be a comma after the word “so.” There should be no comma after the word “not.”

        “This has been said wrong for so long….” Seriously? Where do I start? While using passive sentence structure is not technically an error, it is certainly frowned upon and good writers avoid it like the plague. At the very least, this awkwardly constructed sentence calls for an adverb (wrongly), not an adjective (wrong).

        “One other hint: get someone to proof your article.” This sentence contains one error. When a complete sentence follows a colon, the first word of the sentence is capitalized unless you are using APA style, which you are not – or at least not using correctly.

        “Many spelling and grammatical errors.” This phrase contains one error. The word “grammar” should be used instead of “grammatical” to achieve parallel sentence structure. Noun (spelling) + noun (grammar) is correct. Noun (spelling) + adjective (grammatical) is incorrect.

        You have been hoisted by your own petard, Mr. Cranky Pants. Like shooting fish in a barrel lol.

      Excellent and well thought out recipe. I had never heard of prebaking the dough. Will try this recipe and make individual pizzas to order when we get together after Christmas, which give me a good excuse for someone to buy me some small pizza pants just for this event!.5 stars

        Glad you loved it. Those pants sound fun.

        It took a while to perfect this homemade pizza making technique but I follow it religiously now.

        Cheers!

      Oh my gosh!! As others have mentioned—-THANK YOU for the advice on the store bought dough. We let ours sit at room temp for 2 hours (made it super easy to stretch and shape) and then par baked it before adding ingredients. Best homemade pizza I’ve ever tasted!!5 stars

    Hey, I’m Jenna Passaro.

    I develop easy recipes that can transform your kitchen into a restaurant – and you into a true home chef.

      

    Where to start?

    Learn the secrets to smoking tasty Traeger recipes and making pizza at home. And cook amazing tri tip steak dinners.

    Or, fall in love with something new to cook with your air fryer, pellet smoker, BBQ grill, sous vide cooker, and more…

    You’ll notice, I kind of geek out over new cooking trends and tools!

    My story. Growing up, I didn’t learn to cook.

    (I was actually banned from cooking for years)

    And then in my 20’s I didn’t have to cook because my job as an event planner involved a lot of travel and it was easier to eat out. At the time, I was 100% positive that restaurant food would always taste better than cooking at home, and there was nothing I could do about it.

    Until I fell in love with a chef. He would come over and cook me delicious meals right in my own kitchen. My mind was blown.

    Since then, I’ve been on a mission to figure out easy ways to make restaurant style food at home and share it here on Sip Bite Go.

    Love to eat out and travel? I can totally relate. See my guide on where to eat in Portland, OR.

    Never in a million years did I imagine I’d ditch the 9-5 lifestyle in my late 20’s, move across the country on a whim, start a new life, start a food blog, and write a book.

    But here I am!
