Southern Fellow Pizza Dough



 

When Alyssa Trahan shared her love for pizza we knew it was time to share our dough recipe. This is the recipe we use for our grilled pizza, but is also great for an oven baked pizza. We even grill it up just plain and brush some herb infused olive oil on it for a delicious bread. Pizza dough always seems the hardest part in the pizza process. Use this recipe and let your pizza creativity run wild. You can also check out our interview with Alyssa Trahan by clicking here.

  • Remove the dough from the bowl and cut in half for 2 large pizzas or into 4ths for more of a personal size.  Roll or toss out until the dough is about 1/2 inch thick.
