Dominos Style Pizza Dough Recipe | Hint of Helen (2024)

Jump to Recipe

Dominos pizza is one of the most popular in the UK. The deep, dough, tangy sauce and rich cheese is the perfect cure for a pizza craving. Here is my favourite recipe for homemade pizza which is close to Dominos – it is deep and fluffy, with semolina and lots of mozzarella.

How to make Dominos style pizza at home:

1. Mix the water, yeast and honey in a bowl until they begin to foam. The water should be warm to touch.

2. In a stand mixer, add the flour and garlic and onion powder, then add the yeasty waster mixture

3. Mix on high with a dough hook forfor 8 minutes, until the dough has come together to form a springy bal

Ingredients

For dough:
2 cups warm water
1 sachet instant yeast
3 tbsp honey
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp onion powder
5 cups white flour
1/2 cup oil vegetable, olive or sunflower
1/2 cup course semolina
For toppings:
Mozzarella cheese
Tomato sauce
Your favorite pizza toppings

Instructions

Mix the water, yeast and honey in a bowl until they begin to foam. The water should be warm to touch.
In a stand mixer, add the flour and garlic and onion powder
Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients, and pour in the water yeast mixture
Mix on high, using the dough hook, for 8 minutes, until the dough has come together to form a springy ball
Pour oil into the bowl and toss the dough so it is coated in oil (do not knead further)
Cover the bowl of dough and leave to rise in warm place for 30 minutes
After 30 minutes, flour a work surface using a mixture of plain white flour and course semolina
Turn the dough out onto the floured surface and punch down slightly, then cover with a tea towel for 15 minutes whilst you pre-heat the oven to 190C (preferably with a round, pizza tray or stone in it so that is warmed for the pizza too)
Once the oven is pre-heated, remove the pre-heated tray/stone and transfer 1/3 of the pizza dough to it
Using your fingers, spread the dough on the base of the tray until you have the desired thickness - remember the pizza will rise slightly so do it thinner than you want the end result, if you want dominos style pizza, make sure your crusts are quite defined for dipping
Pop the pizza base (un-topped) into the oven for 5 minutes to pre-bake
After 5 minutes, remove base from oven and top with your favorite toppings
Once topped, return to the oven for 20 minutes, or until toppings are browned and cooked
Remove from the oven and allow to cool before tucking in with some garlic dip
This dough recipe makes 3 large pizzas; you can freeze the dough raw, or make a 3 pizzas from it

Is it better to make pizza dough with milk or water? ›

Water- Yeast needs liquid to hydrate and dissolve it so it can do its job. Be sure your water is around 110-115 degrees F to activate the yeast. You can also replace the water with milk for a softer crust if you prefer. Oil- I like to use extra virgin olive oil because it provides a nice flavor to the dough.

What makes pizza dough more crispy? ›

High heat for quick cooking is one of the best ways to get a good crispy pizza crust, so pre-heating your pizza stone or pan will help a lot. Take care when placing your pizza on a hot surface. Use the wrong type of cheese on a pizza and it can really affect your pizza base.

What happens with too much yeast in pizza dough? ›

Not only will the flavour be affected (the yeast will convert all the sugar in the dough into alcohol, and it will taste sour), but the structure will be compromised, leaving it more likely to collapse and resulting in a really dense and floppy end product.
